Inflation is impacting food prices. If that was the case we do not mind, the culprit obviously needed the food. But then also, being me, someone who would never charge anybody for stealing food I just shrugged and moved on. Yes, we have a huge benefit system that supports hundreds of thousands of us but it is still not enough in these times of inflation and huge food price increases.

Last week I had the chance to sit down with Auckland Transport’s new CEO, Dean Kimpton, and ask him some questions and I think there’s a lot of reasons to be optimistic for the future. As Todd Niall at Stuff reported last week, Dean uses the bus himself so hopefully that helps in his understanding. With the various challenges mentioned above, the makeup of how our PT network will almost certainly look different to what it did before Covid. I also pointed out the disconnect between how AT manages pricing for parking and public transport. Some in the media seem to suggest that all AT ever does is build cycleways to steal space from drivers.

stuff.co.nz reports that this is after many local bus drivers accepted offers to drive buses in New Zealand to cover up the shortage of their bus drivers and ferry crews. The Fiji Bus Operators Association says this is worrying them as it will create a shortage in Fiji. Kamikamica adds despite concerns raised by the bus operators, there were already migrant workers in the country. He says urban bus drivers' pay would be increased by FJD$41.20 an hour while regional drivers would be paid up to FJD$38.45 per hour whereas in Fiji bus drivers would work up to 48 hours a week, earning $3.75 an hour in Fiji. We have sent questions to the Fiji Bus Operators Association and the Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica.

Auckland and Christchurch retailers are cleaning up on Sunday morning after being hit by ram raiders in an overnight crime spree. Ram raids were reported in the Auckland suburb of Birkenhead and the Christchurch suburbs of Rangiora and Hornby, with the burglaries occurring in a 20-minute crime spree. The first ram raid occurred at 4:30am at Rebel Sports in Hornby, where two vehicles reversed into the building.

There are of course political winners and losers. We have been tricked into arguments over water infrastructure ownership without dealing with the current waste being pumped into our waterways.

Infrastructure NZ comprises of the China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Bank of China. That ruling said Māori water rights existed and that it was up to the Crown and Māori to negotiate that.
