I don't understand why they/them pronouns isn't the option here. It's already the default if you don't know a person's gender.

You, your, and you again, are all gender neutral already.

I don't see the point of this.

Why not just use the bottom line for third person?

I was wondering what the leader of the CCP had to do with NZ for a moment.

Also, I keep reading OP's comments in the voice of Gollum.

The most common use for AI in the future will be sifting through all the AI sludge to find content actually made by a human.

I can see adverts being created specifically for viewers of one show in the near future.

It's because he's the last competent leader National has had.

Key was actually very left leaning in a lot of aspects, like benefits for example. It's part of the reason he held Labour off for three terms.

I respect the sentiment, but the project was on track to be more than a billion dollars more than the initial estimates, which would have been a cost overrun of more than 100%

That's a colossal blow out.

They were oddly quiet when the project got canned, and there were even a few admissions that the cost of the project had blown out to an unacceptable level.

I think Labour know their handling of the project will be brought up again if they protest.

If it is, Nicola's name will be forever tied to it. And every time it breaks down, that comment will be brought up.

That's been done in a way with a catamaran service, the Fast Cat ferries were brought in to compete with them. I think they sailed from Porirua.

Part of the problem is you would have to base yourself in Port Underwood, which is kinda the middle of nowhere, which would erase some of the time savings.

We've had far smaller vessels in the past that have been rail enabled though, even smaller than what we currently have.

An argument against moving is we wouldn't just have to build the port, we would need road, rail, and all the utilities as well, whereas in Picton they're already there.
