The Labour-led government (2017–2023) oversaw the largest absolute transition and set the highest formal renewable electricity targets in New Zealand's history. By pushing a suite of clean energy policies, they achieved a grid that consistently generated between 85% and 88% of its electricity from renewable sources










Not from me but ol mate ai says you can thank labour for that

Wow, did Labour build all the dams and geothermal in NZ? I thought the Greens would have found some geckos or taniwha to stop it but well done Labour!!

I had always assumed it was the think big projects back in the day!

Now, he's left being a civil servant and is a partner at Earnest and Young.

Hasn’t really left then has he..

Another shooting the messenger *checking notes* who for one would like to see the majority of running countries automated. Suddenly you don’t trust the information of who you want to run the world

Still awaiting another invite frank, petrols gone up a bit and airfares too, might need you to chip in for a ticket for me

Some good deals still to be had if you know where to look. A friend just picked up some flights on Qantas flying business class from Akl to NYC (via Syd and Dallas) and then travelling back from Dallas to Akl (again via Syd) for only $1,200 more per person than doing the same trip economy on Air NZ (and less than Air NZ's Premium Economy). The Qantas sale finished yesterday. Cost him $9,000 PP for fares that would normally be over $15,000 PP.

Shit I’m barely keeping on top of everything that’s gone up in price Mike to be considering a trip without frank coming to the party. He said previously he’d pick me up from the airport but unfortunately funds are a bit strapped to get there. I’ve been saving hard because hanging out with frank would be a dream, we could watch Goggins videos for days. September is probably a good time to save towards

Invites always there. Smoking on a fresh batch of Mr Whites finest. I'm actually back off overseas again next week so not the best time.

As much as I don’t agree with much apart from league matters, you’re a good bugger frank

Im a Qantas business class fiend. Their blind auction is so good. Between points and bidding like 1/3 the price in the auction, Ive been Aus-US 2x, Aus-NZx 2 and Aus-UAE x1 since '18

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Also in Aus you can convert woolies rewards into qantas points.

 

[tyrael]

Is this true? How so?

I hate how Americanism has bleed into our politics.
