@Charteddaily @NewstalkZB and since when has ThreeNow been part of TVNZ?
It's a shame the RBNZ only commented on the political leanings of @NewstalkZB in its induction pack for the new Governor. Would've been interesting to see where they placed the other outlets on the political spectrum! Q+A would presumably be quite pleased with their description.
Example will be the Voluntary Pilotage Services in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. It's voluntary - meaning that shippers decide whether they need the pilotage services, instead of being mandated by coastal states and then charged fees. mpa.gov.sg/port-marine-op…
Interesting comments by Oman's foreign minister, stressing no Hormuz transit fees but open to service fees similar to SOMS. This then will have to be voluntary, paid-per-service only, not mandatory. Question is whether Iran is on the same page. mc-doualiya.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D…
Can someone please explain to me why Andy Burnham is known as a “great communicator”? He sounds like he’s boring himself even in his edited highlights. 👇 His speech after winning the Makerfield by election was dire. His appearance on Newsnight hopeless. Am I the only one who just doesn’t get his reputation?

Akwesasne is a Canadian exclave whose only road connections lead through the United States rather than mainland Canada. Akwesasne is far more complex than a typical Canadian exclave. It is a Mohawk community whose territory stretches across the international border, spanning the provinces of Ontario and Quebec as well as the state of New York. Residents routinely cross between Canada and the United States while remaining within the same community. Because of longstanding legal principles rooted in the 1794 Jay Treaty, along with later legislation and court rulings, many Mohawk people enjoy special cross-border mobility rights, although the legal framework differs between Canada and the United States. Its unique location has also made Akwesasne a notable smuggling corridor throughout history. During Prohibition, it was used to transport alcohol, while in more recent decades authorities have investigated the movement of untaxed tobacco, narcotics, firearms, and, at times, people attempting to cross the border illegally. Akwesasne is also renowned for its ironworkers. Beginning in the late 19th century and reaching prominence during New York City’s skyscraper boom of the 1920s and 1930s, many Mohawk men from the community became highly respected high-steel workers, helping construct iconic bridges and skyscrapers. With authority divided among Mohawk governments as well as multiple Canadian and American jurisdictions, Akwesasne faces an unusually complex system of governance. Issues such as policing, taxation, customs, and public services often require coordination across several governments, making it one of the most administratively unique communities in North America.
