Beautiful morning walk in the bright sun past our nations war memorial and the national home of cricket to lose myself in the acres of car yards on Cambridge Tce.
Picking fights with the judiciary is a well worn tactic from the UK and US conservative factions to distract attention from how useless they are.

The Waitangi Tribunal was established in 1975, in large part to get protesting Māori off the streets. The Land Back, indigenous rights & te reo Māori movements of the 1970s were gaining too much momentum, and the Pākehā politicians in the beehive were getting uncomfortable. 🧵

Thanks to the NZ Transport Agency for protecting the railway and state highway from coastal flooding with a seawall and for adding a bit to the project budget so there can be a shared path on top of the new seawall. A climate project that builds resilience and reduces emissions.
We’ve just finished the first section of underground piling of four out of eight piles on Te Ara Tupua. You may've seen some new machinery working alongside SH2 earlier this month—this was our rig drilling 15-20 metres down in preparation for underground piles to be installed.

After two days in Wellington I have to talk about my great experiences with the buses here. Frequent, reliable, and electric. Plus a kicker: The drivers are *amazing*. Navigating tricky roads with aplomb in a smooth and friendly way.
