A sustainable method of producing jet-fuel could be on the horizon for New Zealand air carriers. A study commissioned by Air New Zealand found it's possible to create jet fuel out of forestry industry waste like sawdust, slash, and offcuts. Through chemical processes, the waste is turned into ethanol and then kerosene. Air New Zealand's Kiri Hannifin told Ryan Bridge that it’s a global phenomenon moving at great pace. She said that at the moment there’s about 30 manufacturers in the world, and

2024/10/30

I'm getting really angry reading these stories about violence in New Zealand, and I don't think that harsher sentences are going to stop them. I don't think that the gang patch ban is going to stop them, I don't think that wraparound services are going to stop them either. I'm talking here about Palmerston North's emergency Department yesterday, daylight doctors are at work, nurses are there. A cab driver has a minor accident with gang members in the hospital car park, gang members attack the

There's hopes rural communities will be considered before changes are made to NZ Post's services. Options include dropping to delivering two days a week in urban areas, instead of three, and going from five times a week in rural areas down to three. Additionally, postal outlets will be reduced from 880 to 500. Rural Women CEO Marie Fitzpatrick says postal services are essential for rural communities that don't always have access to broadband.

The Education Review Office has found the system for addressing school absence is failing, with chronic absence doubling in the last decade.

There’s assurance the Government's proposed building consents scheme, allowing tradespeople to self-certify, is safe.

Ryan Bridge: A theory on the record low road toll

2024/10/28

The road toll is sitting at zero for the long weekend. Six people died last Labour Weekend, which is a tragedy. The road toll is the lowest Labour Weekend toll since 2013, when we had one death on the roads. Why do we think this has happened this particular weekend? Is it the Road to Zero that the previous government introduced? Is it the fact we've had some road upgrades, some potholes fixed potentially? Or is it just random stats? You know, we should really be looking at annual averages, not

Here we go again, everybody. They’re planning to build yet more houses on land that we know is partial to flooding. This time, it's the Coalition Government, with three housing projects on its fast-track list in Auckland and Canterbury. In 2022 it was Labour, they had 700 homes on their fast-track list that were prone to flooding. You might think, well, if you want to go and build your house on flood-prone land after Cyclone Gabrielle, et cetera, that's your issue. You pay up. But here's the problem
