You have completely missed my point then if that's the conclusion you somehow came to
Classic NZ fairy tales.
1. Apartheid ended due to internal resistance including violence on both sides and mostly the drive from Klerk who feared a civil war like Rhodesia faced.
2. 318 major nuclear tests in the Pacific, 600 minor trials, French continued pacific testing right up until 1996, while USSR stopped altogether in 1990, UK 1991, the US in 1992.
Great job NZ, great job.

Seems odd that they are being held in Texas if she was detained coming back across the border from Vancouver.Stuff

Pretty grim situation for this Mother and son. Hope the NZ government is having a serious look into it, Winston says they’re aware of it
Winnie will sort it out.
No sure what you mean by that mate, can you be more specific?

Hopefully he gets a chance in between his concerns around hi viz
I think the protests for the Tour did help. The Flotilla, not so much. The French are a different beast to the rest of the world and do what they want , bugger everyone else. Got caught up in Farmers protest there years ago, quite frightening.
The nuclear thing is very interesting. Don't think there's anyone on the planet who would disagree about nuclear weapons being bad but unfortunately the sledge hammer took out the positive side of fission and we're still paying the price for that today. If things hadn't got so hysterical we could be living the dream with cheap safe energy instead of arguing over fossil fuels, pollution and here, a dwindling gas supply.

There certainly wasn't any statement from ICE that I could see. Maybe the reporter couldn't find them.
Be interested to know how many forum members use gas either through bottles or hard piped into the home.
Bottle price has doubled since 2020 and I expect it won't be long before it's $300 for a 45kg bottle. Having to import LNG, like the Indonesian coal can only increase the price of power.
By now, nuclear power would have been privatised by one of our many neo liberal governments, Some lame excuse of why our bills must be hight, ran into the ground & we'd probably end up having a Fukushima of our own.

High probability of that if we'd had a similar plant to Fukushima in the upper south island in 2011.
Of course. Never says she has a green card. But apparently she can work in the US and come and go as she pleases?!? Makes zero sense
Possibly but I doubt it. Privatised, yes, certainly but very highly regulated. Been a lot more deaths from dam collapses than Nuclear accidents.
Unless you're living in a true socialist country most of the services anywhere are not state owned these days. Not too many of those left as far as I know, even the Bear is not really socialist anymore. They don't seem to work for too long for some reason.

The current government doesn't believe in regulation. Red tape is believe they call it.
In the real world it's called safety, planning, protection, guardrails, common sense for the good of everyone and the environment.
Specifically it’s David Seymour who doesn’t believe in regulation. He’s giving me the shits, only half understands a problem before making a call. However I do now wonder if there’s a possibility we see the gentailer sector regulated ahead of the election, it’s a very big cost of living issue.
Jesus wept but you're hard work and you still haven't answered my earlier question, just what were you implying?
Big difference between statutory requirements and bureaucratic red tape. For example our Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regs are some of the toughest in the world. Very very few mechanical failures in plant here that are harmful to personnel. As far as I can see, there is no legislation in the pipeline to reduce statutory requirements.

Unlikely. The economics of renewables is more and more obvious every day. Banned from new fossil fuel gen and forced into wind + solar, energy, companies now simply get guaranteed revenue from either the state or their customer base.
You are right about this Rick
There are however examples of how compromise works for the betterment of company and employee
None better than POAL .A decent respectful CEO has gotten the attention and respect of his staff
What a difference from the previous piece of...
And profits are up as well. Win win.
