While I still have concerns about Minister's fast-tracking developments (especially for mining), it's interesting that NZ's two approved BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) schemes both had their Resource Consents fast-tracked: the Meridan BESS (which is now operational) at Ruakākā Energy Park, Whangarei was approved under the previous Government's COVID Fast Tracking Scheme while Genesis Energy has just received fast-track approval under the current government's scheme to develop a BESS at Huntly.

Both are designed to provide up to two hours back up power during peak demand times off early morning and evening.

Amazing, fast-tracked projects helping with renewal energy power projects.... now if only the current government had removed the ability for mining companies to use the fast-track scheme and I'd be 100% behind it.

My guess is they are facing massive losses as renewables are eating into every profit margin, hence the need for fast track approval. Its happening here in Aus. Transgrid is desperately trying to shore up its finances while its biggest shareholders are dumping stock.

UTA’s sale has played out in parallel with fellow shareholder OMERS’ negotiations to sell a 19.99 per cent stake, acquired for $2 billion-plus in 2020, to the Future Fund.

Best market in years for young families and FHB to get on the ladder, I thought that's what we wanted, where's the doom?

Just from Tony Alexander ‘no positive movements in the housing market – unless you are a buyer.’

But what do economists know? About as much as weather forecasters.

Don't get me started on meteorologists, the weather is lefty propaganda, clouds aren't real.

They did say he was a former Stuff journalist on the article I read on the site yesterday

Thanks, was missing from the first reports I read. Glad they cleared that up.

Are you for them or against them

Machetes? N****s? Or the NSN?

I meant the Nazis

While I could never support the NSN as my skin colour prevents us from co-existing, I do understand their position.

Watch live: Christopher Luxon demands answers as press secretary Michael Forbes resigns

Deputy chief press secretary Michael Forbes resigned after accusations he recorded audio of sessions with sex workers and had intrusive photos of women.

Will be interesting to hear from the multiple agencies that the pm is demanding answers from whether there was anything in the past that was questionable with this guy. Luxon seems to find out late when many things are going on within his coalition

Gol gets caught red handed shoplifting and the left posters on here say innocent until proven guilty - nothing to talk about.

Some no name, unimportant, paper pusher that we’ve never heard of gets caught doing something that isn’t even worthy of police charges and the news makes a mountain out of a molehill.

Who cares

That's a no then right? Are you really a confirmed racist fascist now, or is that a troll

I met with a housing related company today. There’s nothing positive happening yet.

I have my mother-in-law staying and she’s a communist, māori party lover.

Watching the news saying how racist parliament is treating the poor māori Party.

Ive hidden in my man cave and will come out when she leaves.


(She’s staying for a week, so lots to do in the man cave )

Do you come out for dinner, and can you give us a running dialogue of the conversation

Yes to the first and no the second only in the way you mean it. I AM a fascist in the way Mussolini meant it, anti communist.

She’s a mean cook, but my ears bleed eating.

I’m picking I’m going to lose some weight this week!

Not like you to be silenced Wiz.
Give her a wind up like you normally do here
And let's know the outcome.

I guess if you have to identify with someone, you could do worse than Mussolini.

Might be just some grub that likes to jerk off over his recordings? Interesting story emerging though with police saying they were looking into the brothel through the pm press secretary’s recordings and the pm knew nothing about it?

That's what I'm hoping for, we might be witnesses in a homicide case though

She’s old school, respect your elders style (mixed with a bit of dementia).

Safer for my marriage to stay in the man cave and put in the long hours at work
