Ryan Bridge: Nobody is above the law, until they are

2024/12/02

Why do Americans keep saying nobody is above the law and then repeatedly showing us some blatantly are. Biden tweeted during the campaign "nobody is above the law". He said it many times, but he was talking about charges against Trump, of course. But, on principle, he said the same applies to him and his family - Including his son Hunter. That brings us back here - He's lost the election and quicker than you can say 'get out of jail free', he's flip-flopped and the convictions are wiped clean. Now

2024/12/01

Politics is largely about trust. When you break it down to its most simple terms, it's about trust. If you see a bloke or a woman on the telly trying to get your vote, you try and work out what sort of person they are? Do they think like me? Are they smart? Are they thick? Can I trust that they'll make a good decision at an important time? It's a magic thing that takes a lifetime to earn in a second to plunder. And so as the Labour Party faithful filed in for their annual conference gearing up for

Public transport leaders say increasing fares is counter productive. NZTA's ordering councils take a higher revenue share from users and agree to new targets by December 19. As an example, the move would mean a Wellington commuter currently spending $10 on buses a day would have to spend $17.
