"Early on in my morality I realised that things were going to get tough...

That should be mayorality

Tripe said cutting food scrape collections saved Whanganui 1.1 percent on rates.

Food scraps. They repeat the same mistake throughout the article.

It reads like something that was written with voice dictation and not checked for errors, it's frankly embarrassing. And it's something I've been noticing more and more.

Hard to maintain editorial standards when your budget gets cut by 18m. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/budget-2025/561829/budget-2025-more-money-for-journalists-less-for-rnz

    Doubt it. Those don't seem like AI type mistakes. Especially the morality one. Voice to text seems much more likely

    Maybe it's AI?

    I do note they've now fixed all the spelling and grammar, or at least all the obvious stuff.

    I see typos in the Christchurch Press sometimes. RNZ has been reduced to click-bait and cheap trash. Every article is either "do you know this one weird hack about non-stick frying pans?" or "the women who... [insert achievement]".

    Reddit needs to stop worshipping RNZ and Stuff. I'd rather live in the dark than have to visit the stuff website or read their disgraceful newspapers which are filled with advertising.
