Having the election done and dusted is definitely something of a relief after what was an extraordinarily-long grind of a campaign.
Of course, the four-week postponement due to COVID-19 and the return of Auckland to level 3 dragged things out somewhat, yet there was always a sense that the result was never really in doubt.
Jacinda Ardern was flying high due to the general public’s response to her handling of COVID-19….and the National Party was in complete disarray, meaning the only real interest lay in whether or not Labour would be able to govern alone.
We can all be thankful that the media’s fascination with Billy Te Kahika and the wild...

Like many other in-person events in our new COVID-19 world, the Rollover Prevention Programme has faced some serious challenges in 2020.
Lockdowns, social distancing requirements and new protocols to follow in delivering the freight task have meant that holding workshops has been extra difficult.
The Road Transport Forum is encouraged that despite these issues, 10 Rollover Prevention workshops have been held in 2020, with around 240 participants.
“With growing confidence that further major outbreaks of COVID-19 can be avoided, we really want to encourage operators who haven’t yet held a workshop for their drivers to consider the possibility in 20...

New Zealand Truck & Driver readers may recall the furore around the approval of nearly $12million of Government money to a ‘green’ school in Taranaki that threatened to envelop the Green Party’s election campaign.
As shabby and embarrassing as that was for the Greens and in particular co-leader James Shaw (whose stated policy had been to remove state funding from private schools), it was actually the insight it gave us into how public money is currently being allocated that should be of far greater concern to taxpayers.
The $12m green school grant is just one small scheme to acquire Government money as part of the $3bn ‘shovel-ready’ pr...
