This makes me furious that they can do this without a cost comparison of the other options on the market (renewable and non-renewable)

I could live with this if I knew they had compared all the options on the table showed their math and they gave some solid reasons for this choice; But they did none of this. At best commercial users will get their power price a bit more predictable. Residential users will be paying the “levy” so commercial users have more certainty about power cost.

I won’t start on how we are 100% reliant on offshore companies to supply LNG.

Not throwing shade here, but i don’t know a single person (farmer or not) in a disaster situation that would not want the government to fix the roads, maybe a road is not fixable… but if i had a apartment, house, cottage, batch, farm at the end of a road i would like the council/government to fix the road to my place, if they couldn’t that would be a big deal and i would be unhappy. The individuals affected by this may have supported or opposed climate action, it doesn’t change their current situation that they are still in.

They are both in the wrong here.

Guy being passed should be in the left lane. He is filming with his phone while driving and is speeding (technically).

Seymour is speeding faster. Is undertaking, while undertaking is not illegal, it is a driving convention that people expect because that’s how people are taught. People generally are doing checks in their middle and right mirrors, anyone on the left is less likely to be seen.

you beat me to it nikki blows 731 million to cancel a project that NZ needed, because it didn’t line up with her party’s “values”

The Americans who moved to NZ before COVID and haven’t visited the US in awhile, may not appreciate how much prices have gone up there.

Prices in NZ have gone up, but in % terms a lot of other countries prices have gone up more %wise.

Other countries prices started lower then NZ prices but the pricing is now closer then it ever has been.

Although I would prefer if everyone’s prices went down rather then all of us paying a Kings Ransom for groceries.

Thanks for the work you do Dave.
