It's about being decisive.

And earlier post by Josh on other thread comparing numbers (cross-posted elsewhere I know).

But both reports claim $1.4b. Here's Joshua recently.

OK, now someone fisk the numbers...

I remember the arrival of Bridget's column in print. Never got the hints, hardly ever knew any people in the photos. Always seemed to be the same small group of boring easties and as you say promo girls.
Last time I checked online, Saunders' column there had degenerated into idiotic and reactionary musings about things she clearly didn't know much about, attracting similarly vapid comments. Plenty of that content on talkback if I ever wanted it.
By all accounts Glucina seems to be suffering from Eastie girl syndrome - constant diet of unconditional affirmation growing up, job handed on a plate by mummy and daddy and hence vastly inflated sense of her own worth and sadly diminished one of others.
I suppose over time you can judge gossip columnists by what they don't say. If you can be bothered.
I say apply for the job, Damian. You can't do any worse and it's bound to involve free piss.

And can I note that I read the title of your post and immediately assumed it was a meditation about our nefarious copywrong thread. :)

Instead of short-term, immediate spending, or even one-off tax refunds, National wants to implement tax cuts that actually become more expensive with time, and they wonder why there's a looming structural surplus?
I suspect you're being overly generous and that they know exactly what they are doing. I'm not going to get into politicised slagging, but English et al are clever, motivated people so I think it's safe to assume the effect you mention is intentional.

I haven't heard the bfm interview but Melissa Lee blurted on Q&A that she wanted the cheapest option.
Given the small actual marginal cost difference discussed here and elsewhere, and in the absence of any other proposed benefit to the public, explaining the government's preference becomes problematic.
Presumably above-ground construction can be finished faster? I suspect that the number of contractors able to bid for above-ground construction may be greater, and perhaps the profit margins are higher minus specialised tunneling gear.
I guess Joyce will explain everything today or we'll have to await the openly-released Cabinet papers.

You're a doofus, Dexter - and it's revealed every time you open your whiny mouth and burp forth words like "simple" and "common" and offer up someone else's life as if you're Christ. Harrass some local sites in Taiwan why don't you, big guy.

Wasn't one of the advantages of the Rosebank motorway route option better connection to its industrial zone? Is there a rail equivalent like a freight spur along Rosebank?
