Following on from zero fare Saturdays

The Wellington Greens have proposed zero fare Saturdays on .

Black Heart has responded with an even bolder proposal:

In other global news, the Black Heart Party regional economic transport development spokesfan Ned Davy has called on Greater Wellington Regional Council to introduce “zero-fare September” flights to as part of a five point plan to get indigent 50-somethings to the 2015 Rugby World Cup. “To be honest,” said Ned, “my liver's not really up to a full boozy month in Pomgolia, but if that's the price of getting a freebie to the party, I'll take one for the team.”

He also highlighted the importance of reducing naval congestion around the Cape of Good Hope as desperate fans paddle their home-made waka towards Twickenham. “It's going to be bloody chaos off Cape Town in August, and frankly the only reasonable course of action is to get us away from the whales and into an airplane seat.  It doesn't have to be business class, we'll settle for premium economy. Or one of those snuggle couches, so long as I don't have to share with Brother Phil.”

Mr Davy emphasised the regional economic of the new policy. “The Euro zone region's having a rough time of it, and we've all got to make sacrifices to help those poor English publicans scratch a living.  Throw in an Athens stopover, and we promise to put a fair dent in the Greek region as well.”

He mused aloud about the benefits of the policy. “If all four million of us bugger off to Blighty for the full month, New Zealand would reduce it's annual by 8 percent straight off, right there.”

About as sensible!
