Lol. "Please to be keeping my name secret coz some people will hate my views and others will like them too much"

Captein argued he would “unjustly face public scrutiny” if named, without the ability to respond with classified details of the covert operation targeting him.

He also said he and his family would be at risk of retaliation from the foreign power he thought he was assisting and he would be at risk in a civilian prison from some prisoners, namely those who opposed his “white supremacist views” and prisoners who supported those views and may seek to radicalise him.

#NZpol Maybe they actually think their actions can be passed off as "we *could* do *worse*... so watch it"? Anyhoo, we *had* chain stores that didn't take the piss AND treated staff well. Dad reminded me of this chain some time back, but I just remembered to look it up again now. Details in ALT.

If you took the $800 million National want to spend on 11km of road and shared it equally between all South Island Councils they'd each get $38 million to spend on roads which would have a wider net positive on roads than 11km of north Christchurch highway.

Our power market incentivises a little bit of expensive power going on all the time to inflate the price of all the other, cheaper power generation too. Hopefully we get to the point where that industry collusion practice is removed and prices are affordable for everyone.

I really hope we get to 100% by the end of the year, but it won't stick without further investment as we continue to add load to our grid. There's a group wanting 1GW offshore wind around Taranaki which would be awesome. Would mean our hydro could be used more as battery buffers.

We've had a couple solar farms come online, and a couple more are still coming over the next few months as I understand. Wholesale pricing in the north island is still a bit crazy due to under investment. I hope to see more development of solar + batteries up there to smooth out our peaks!

What has this government been up to? Brad knows. Brad's been keeping a list (over on FB)... #nzpol

Over the last three years, I’ve been keeping a list of the rubbish this Government has done.
Stopped work on Auckland light rail.
Stopped all work on the Lake Onslow renewable battery project.
Disestablish the Ministry for the Environment.
Scrapped the smoke-free law to fund tax cuts.
Scrapped Fair Pay Agreements.
Gave $3 billion in tax cuts to landlords.
Tired to paid himself $52,000 to live in one of his own many properties, on top of his half a million dollar salary.
The so-called party of infrastructure ... cut Cook Strait ferry deal, then paid $8 million for consultants to tell them they need new ships. $700 million wasted in total. Still no ships.
Stopped the Clean Car Discount, after Luxon took an $8,000 discount himself.
Blocked statistical reporting on who does and doesn’t pay their share of tax. Think about that!
Broke its election promise and didn’t scrap the app tax.
Scrapped Three Waters, pushing costs onto ratepayers and increasing rates.
Used $4,150 of taxpayers’ money to pay for his te reo Māori classes after saying, “People in the real world should pay for it themselves.”
Halved the crayfish take for locals, but cut the commercial take by only one-fifth.
Gutted freshwater protections so cruel intensive winter grazing could continue to pollute water ways.
Took $80 million from hospitals.
Cut DOC funding by $125 million.
Scrapped the First Home Grant.
Gave half a million dollars of taxpayers’ money to their mate Bill English to do a "review".
Blew $8 million on consultants for a proposed tunnel under Wellington.
Wasted $4 million on a six-person advisory group to talk about crime and reduce youth offending. They achieved nothing.
Gave big tobacco a $216 million tax cut.
Refused to reinstate Jobs for Nature while unemployment soared.
Reduced the qualifications needed for relief teachers.
Introduced new road tolls.
Deprioritised police responses to mental health and family violence call-outs.
Slashed $107 million a year from school lunches, costing…

I've gotten grumpy thinking about people in the academy whose heads are too far up their own research to notice what's happening around them that threaten their place. Not to mention oblivious to the people and movements working for nothing to keep them doing their thing. Then remembering Siouxsie.

Shove it up your ass, but not too far! Too far and it gets absorbed into your liver straight away, like the oral route, and you still end up waking up earlier with a bad dream. Not nearly as bad though. Just by one digit? Sleep fine throughout the night, little impact on pee. Perfect solution found
