Yup, I guess if you filter down enough you can always find someone else to blame.

Add a few authoritarian fascists in there too.

Quite a few with laundries all over the world

I get the feeling someone like you always will. And what is stopping you from being successful?

Correct, the only thing stopping you is you.

Does raise some interesting questions though doesn't it? Is the Haka overused? Is it only powerful and appropriate if you agree with the subject of it?

Can of worms alright, more worried about these kids he's groomed into his cult, especially with the history of predators among them, his prosperity guru Eddie Long was the worst.

I believe the Kingitanga should have a permanent seat in parliament and the Queen can appoint a spokesperson that can change from 1 day to the next or she can come herself when she wants.

While I think we need to be careful what we open up to foreign investment, there are at least two projects for battery storage which the current rules are preventing from happening. I think it’s wrong to stop limit foreign investment for things like that which are beneficial but there also needs to be safeguards limiting where and when it occurs. The balance is too restrictive at the moment but what’s proposed could open us up too much.

That said, it’s interesting that the amount of proposed solar and off shore wind units has doubled with the changes to the fast tracked application schemes…. pity the government didn’t limit what could apply to it for what was beneficial and still ensured mineral and fossil fuel applications were exempt from the fast track process.

Agree Mike, my unspoken concern is around ACT and knowing that they will sell off everything (National too for that matter) - history shows us this.

Investment done well, with full benefit for both parties and retention of ownership in NZ is welcome

Southern hemisphere offshore wind is a complete fantasy. No logistics or support ships to build. Australia's plans are rapidly collapsing.

As for battery storage, watch your average wholesale price go exponential.

Regulator to probe why South Australia price spiked despite much unused capacity

The Chinese are getting pretty bloody strongly dissatisfied at the Aussies for hyping this up, and at all the Kiwis making a song and dance about it. It's all just a storm in a tea cup, my fellow mates.
