Oregon has 2,000 more km of State roads than New Zealand. There's another 500 km of federal highways.
Not to mention 71,000 miles of national forest roads..... thats just in Oregon
That's why we need cheaper Petro than you guys.

I meant to Google what was the lenght of our roads and found this about the lengths of different countries coast line
We not far behind you believe it or not so we might have longer roads than you
What do you reckon????

United States	8	19,924	2	133,312	9,147,593	2.18	14.6
Antarctica	—	17,968			14,200,000	1.27
New Zealand	9	15,134	17	17,209	264,537	57.2	65.1

I'd rather drive the roads than to sail around the entire country. I've been 2 miles 'out to sea' one time in my life. We were installing flooring on one of the local pilot boats and our timing was perfect so we stayed aboard to help them undock a ship and then meet it two miles offshore to offload the local pilot. It was fun to watch how that is done. From downtown where they kept the pilot boats it's about a 20 mi round trip.
I like looking at the ocean but that's about it.

Jon, seems all those months in lock down didn't work in NZ?


“We should have recognized the entrenched transmission in marginalized and deprived groups — that’s what basically sustained the outbreak,” he said. “That transmission is relatively impervious to the alert level system and the restrictions, because these are people in a precarious position.”
Some of Auckland’s latest cases have been detected incidentally in hospital wards or after people were taken into police custody, suggesting widespread transmission among people who are not being tested.
In a post on Twitter, the Maori writer and political commentator Morgan Godfery expressed concern about what abandoning the elimination strategy might mean for those in disadvantaged communities.
“The PM says we must now live with the virus,” he wrote. “But the ‘we’ means these same lines of inequality. The virus will now burrow in gangs, the transitional housing community, and unvaccinated brown people. In 2020, Jacinda asked for shared sacrifice. In 2021, it’s a particular sacrifice.”

hav from what I understand the lock downs were to stop people moving around as other countries were in dire need of the vaccine due to those countries being swamped with the virus and NZ waited their turn. The idea now is that NZ has major roll outs of the vaccine with the hope of getting most people jabbed which will in turn prevent the major people going into hospital
From what I hear and see on the TV the Pacifica, Pacific Islanders people didnt want the vaccines due to religious reasons, the head of the church, said one should not get the vaccine but that is all changed with the Pacifica people now going all out to get the ***, some have been offered KFC if they get the ***. I presume that once some of their family and friends got Covid they all changed their minds
I would guess NZ is like most other countries with lots of people being against vaccines of any type
Never heard of Mogan Godfery, maybe he is like that Maori Brian Tamaki who organized that protest last Saturday
A couple of days ago 150.000 people had signed a petition saying he should be arrested as groups of people were not allowed

I dont know these things Me just a dumb broken down lino layer

highup you missed my point
If you look at the size of The USA and NZ you would wonder how come the lenght of the coast line of NZ is way up there in lenght

A lot different story from what you are hearing about the gangs being left out
There is two sides to every story

Austin Police no longer responding to ‘non-life threatening’ 911 calls

In an apparent effort to counter the nationwide trend of “F*** Joe Biden!” chants at sporting events around the nation, the White House released a video Sunday morning of Joe Biden’s visit to the Congressional baseball game in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday night that opens with overdubbed girlish voices chanting “We love Joe!” as Biden entered Nationals Park. In contrast to the thunderous “We love Trump!” chants by thousands of supporters at President Trump’s rallies, the Biden cheers sound like a handful of female White House staffers recorded in a studio. Hear for yourself.
