    Dammit!

    Missed the deadline... I had quite a few rather unpleasant comments which I wanted to share with the government. Nevertheless, I seriously doubt they give a rat behind what do we have to say. Too much money is at stake.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    There are three private listings for people by the name of "Money" in the Wellington Whitepages.

    I thought Mr Money could have proof read his letter a bit better.


    Thank you for your submission which has been received. Your comments have been taken into consideration and will be reflected in the Ministry of Transport's report to Government. The report will summarise your views and others - though without individual identification. The report summarising the public submissions will be made available on our website either Late in June or early in July.

    At this stage of the consultation process there is no opportunity for public submissions to be heard, written submissions only are being considered. Should the Government decide to proceed further with any of the schemes there will be other opportunities for public comment.

    Once again, your comments are appreciated.

    Yours fa


    Chris Money
    Principal Adviser
    Infrastructure
    Ministry of Transport

    But not as many as his brother P. Or his sister Ali. Or his uncle Hege.

    Fa is a colloquial Samoan farewell.
    I would be rather pissed at such a taxation as I live in Freeman's Bay and need to go to University everyday. It would take less than 10 minutes by car/bike, but more than 30 with a bus, costing me at least $3 a day for the bus alone. The Link bus service is also loosing respectability due to a massive downturn in terms of reliability.
    Either exceptions are drawn for motorcycles/scooters/mopeds, or an increased level of service in the public transport.
    In my opinion, such a fee system would possibly encourage car pooling ($6 split 4 ways = $1.50, nice eh). Of course most people are more likely to pay the money and continue driving alone, all the while bitching and moaning.
    Oh, and I think any car fitted with one of those silly 'pssshhhtttt' blow off valves or polished spinner mags should be charged 10 times that amount, or the registered owner shot. I prefer the latter.

    BTW: I so miss the well organised public transport in Germany - perhaps the Auckland Mayor could invite a couple of theur experts over for a little brainstorming session?
