It sounds more like they treat someone without one as a first time tenant.

Which really is a stunning failure on their behalf, it reminds me of Hilary losing to Trump. Absolutely amazing.

Next election is shaping up to be another giant douche vs turd sandwich affair.

These fuckers really are on a speed run to be the first single term government we've had since the 70s.

And being told you have to deal with two hours of commuting because a bunch of Cafés are struggling must feel great, too.

Absolutely fascinating the way this person thinks.

Yeah, I suspect any hospitality worker push tipping will shut up very fast if you point this out.

I will boycott any business that encourages tipping, fuck that.

10% for the next 25 years is an insane amount of money, and no way will it be cost effective.

We have a habit in NZ of completely over-speccing projects, then either cancelling them or never proceeding in the first place. It's what we did with the ferries, it's what we did with that idiotic cycle bridge idea, the Petone-Grenada road... And now this. Which will get binned the moment a Labour coalition takes over.

The spec for the Petone-Grenada road initially called for it to be 100 km/h end to end, which is completely over the top considering the terrain the road would traverse.

At least the Melling Link project seems to be moving.

I find it hard to imagine that being small change to anyone, but I can see someone writing it off as a loss.

Between income tax and sales tax when they spend it, the government will probably see half of it anyway.

Exactly what I thought, nobody is going to own up and say it was theirs.

I'd love to know how that much cash ended up in a ceiling space though, someone must know it's there, but has decided it's not worth the risk to come back and get it. Or they're in prison.

Definitely very strange.

It's owned by Westland Mineral Sands Ltd, although I'm not sure if that means they are the legal owner, or lease the vessel. It's very odd, that's for sure.
