Snail mail

Written by  The Hound
Snail mail

OPINION: About as productive as a politician's taxpayer-funded trip to Hawaii, as cost-effective as an OSPRI IT project, and as smart as the power-company pylon worker, the Hound gives you the NZ Post business strategy:

In response to falling revenues, make your prices increasingly unaffordable and cut your service levels back to the bone.

Fighting agains the rural post cuts, Rural Women NZ is stunned at the service cuts proposed for NZ Post mail services and is worries about their potential impact on rural communities.

MBIE is consulting on proposed changes to the minimum obligations for NZ Post's mail service.

Your old mate reckons other farm lobby groups should be joining the fight against these cuts too, although to make sure their message to government gets through in time, they'd be well advised not to send a letter!

Wrong focus

OPINION: Your old mate reckons townie Brooke van Velden, the Minister of Workplace (or is it Woke Place) Relations is now showing how underemployed she is as a minister by initiating an investigation into whether young children should be banned from collecting eggs on farms and feeding animals.

Burn the village

OPINION: There's an infamous term coined by a US general during the Vietnam war, specifically in reference to the battle of Ben Tre: "We had to burn the village to save it."

Purist problem

OPINION: The sudden departure of Jim Ward, manager of Molesworth Station for 24 years, highlighted some major dysfunction in the way conservation estate is managed in this country - the biggest problem, as the Hound sees it, being idealogues who harp on about "taonga" and use all means possible to block sensible commercial operations on conservation land.
