Exactly what I have been saying for years - privatisation in the UK was based upon a lie and has been abused by savvy state owned companies for years. Trains on UK railways now almost entirely state-owned – by foreign countries independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
. Did someone say "ILLEGALLY" ? 💠 🤔 💠
Today I published an article in the @odtnews based on my doctoral teaching in leadership and governance on University of @otago It highlights the problem with toxic behaviour behaviour in the New Zealand workplace. @NewZealandGov - take note! odt.co.nz/opinion/time-s…
Your periodic reminder that town planning used to be an Olympic event. John Hughes won gold for Team GB in 1932.

I will be speaking on restoring passenger rail to New Zealand at 4.00pm, 9th March 2024 at Morning Magpies (Maggies) Stuart Street, Dunedin. Passenger rail can be frequent, fast and affordable on existing track by importing technologies and ideas from Japan.
odt.co.nz/opinion/embrac… Over ten thousand cruise passengers come to use the railway and each one spends hundreds of dollars. Those dollars go to business owners and pay wages. Employees spend in the local community. They pay tax. They pay mortgages and rent. Rail pays!
Today I was interviewed once more on RNZ for the morning programme. Rail link for students between Christchurch and Dunedin proposed: rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

“I will not accept that it’s a highly dangerous road” From ITN archives.
Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/
A brave message from the @Socceroos concerning #LGBTIQ and #workerrights and the #QatarWorldCup2022
