so the police cause the traffic jam and then defend it. cool cool cool.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-20T01:12:29.000Z

they always defend each other. classic.

i was stuck there for 3 hours with a crying toddler. absolute nightmare. they could at least have opened one lane sooner.

media shilling for authorities as per usual. fatal crash takes one life but they ruin thousands of peoples evening. ffs.

Sam North2026-06-20T01:26:29.000Z

Kai Thompson2026-06-20T01:16:29.000Z

it's tragic someone died, have some compassion people. the delays were necessary for the investigation.

Stuff2026-06-20T01:37:29.000Z

easy to say when you weren't stuck. they could have done both.

Jamie Fox2026-06-20T01:35:29.000Z

yeah nah, they did their best. better a long delay than more deaths because someone rushed the scene.

Noah Bennett2026-06-20T02:17:29.000Z

lol imagine simping for nzta. couldn't be me.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-20T01:45:29.000Z

Sam North2026-06-20T01:55:29.000Z

people died and all you lot care about is your commute. shame.

Kai Thompson2026-06-20T02:50:29.000Z

get stuffed mate. we can care about both.

Noah Bennett2026-06-20T02:07:29.000Z

lol look at the simps defending the system. typical.

Ella Thompson2026-06-20T02:37:29.000Z

next time someone dies maybe they'll do it at 2am so we don't get inconvenienced 👍
