Funny how there has been ZERO nuclear power plants built by private practise in the world, instead they use tax payer money for the folly. Even when private practise do make the nuclear power plants it is enough to drive them under, meanwhile the countries...
With the same ruling above, even though India had virtually ZERO solar capacity at that time the logic of US solar being damaged at that time could not be true. However the WTO still ruled in US favour. "The U.S. sued India in the WTO tribunal because ...
Can find the link but it looks like they have already had to shut down generations in Adelaide due to extreme heat. So just when you need power to cool, you have to shut down your generations. So I guess people could be dead pretty quickly. Sadly power has...
A seldom bought up fact is that coal fired and nuclear power does not work in very hot temperatures due to needing cooling as part of their process. In short they are not good in a global warming scenario as when it gets too hot, (and you need power to run...
I've noticed that the foreigners are trying to warn NZ the most about what is going on, while the woke lefties kiwi middle class political and media types flagellate the white male of whom they generally are themselves in some sort of irony. Maybe helps in...
Don't build Queens Wharf extension for giant cruise ships, says planner https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12195069&fbclid=IwAR3gpr-0SWwgsrOYY5FUIGWXbYrkVdyuoVyuEVdsqS5vllLCjStlxJSBymU Air quality on cruise ship deck 'worse than...
It was great when it took the Auckland councillors 4 hours to get in and out of west Auckland for a short journey. What a bonus to the country when we have no new infrastructure and no old infrastructure either and are borrowing more and more money in some...
@ Gosman, Good idea, (sarcasm) I hear there is little public transport that is usable there and takes hours from the housing estates through the one road, but there is plenty of spec houses costing around 1 million which isn't exactly affordable for the ...
Well I hear that Auckland university closed the planning and architecture specialists library, so they clearly don't value that course. Luckily the Law library was saved for the lawyers of which NZ has already a 25% surplus of lawyers beyond countries like...

@Shadrach, that right wing argument strikes again. Problem is you can't get around Auckland due to the congestion from this urban sprawl, the developers are not paying or the money is disappearing to pay for the new roads and public transport and it will ...
Construction is not the only issue that is proving difficult. For example new resident teachers are complaining they can't find work, while there is a shortage.... The lack of cohesive approach from government is concerning and like building, they fail to ...
Funny enough builders and consultants and god knows how many other people have taken the 2 billion, but at the end of the day the actual builders sounds like they were recruited with low wage tenders with massive subcontracting of various other tradies, ...
The government have also not worked out that part of the problem is that people in NZ are now so poor, in particular those working aka the working poor that after living expenses there is little chance they could save for a property... Not only that they ...
This is what you can get for a build price of $344,000 - aka a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom beautiful property that is built within months and relocated to a a site... so no wonder they can't tempt first home buyers with over priced offerings that are up to 6 ...
Is it is true the government spent 2 billion on building 33 houses? Even a fraction of that spend on such a few houses is pathetic. As usual the money is going on disputes and politics and slush funds rather than building houses for people who genuinely ...
Lucky there are so many billionaires that like to own a house there even if they only live in it for a few weeks a year. Being a millionaire is small fry these days. It's easier to be tax resident in a tax haven and just own houses and assets around the ...
Time they redo the referendum before Britain loses more of their industry headquarters based there.
The irony of a Brexit Leave supporter, now leaving Britain... also what happens with globalism it is a race to the bottom and company headquarters can come and go as they please, with few incentives of old like redundancy payments, or tax treatment to stop...
Even easier go back to the immigration levels that the new government planned for aka 15,000 max, stop the temporary work permits that are a massive burden on infrastructure, stamp on poor tourism and aged parents actually being in NZ and 'working' looking...
@ Gosman, The difference then, was that NZ immigration was not the third highest in the world per capita in the 1930's to 1950's, at the same time as they were constructing the state houses... hard to keep up with that sort of impact on population growth ...
@ Dennis Frank What are they talking about, it's the same business model the government uses as the construction industry approach. That's the problems as is relying on very poorly trained, low waged imports to build our houses who many are sitting around ...
Even the NBR had this to say about the Sky city deal John Key championed... Analysis: Close to corruption https://www.nbr.co.nz/opinion/skycity-debacle-offers-morbid-fascination they did not even get into the moral catastrophe .... http://www.stuff.co.nz/...
No doubt will be entered around a 'sports stadium', marina or convention centre for elite sports that already have funding and support at the exclusion of everyone else... meanwhile obesity levels for most Kiwis are increasing partly because there are ...
John Key's deals with billionaires somehow seem to enrich the world's billionaires at the expense of opportunities for locals to get wealthier and have access to the same tax payer funded 'sweetheart' deals as his billionaire mates.... Billionaire Peter ...
Britain can be bought to a halt by a truck driver strike in a few days when food and resources are curbed. In a strike there is chaos, the supermarkets and petrol stations are empty within 3 days. Who needs military when you rely on about 5 third parties ...
So-called 'women voters' don't exist. So why can't we stop talking about them? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/18/democratic-party-women-jessa-crispin (Hopefully Democrats and the NZ Green Party can have a read before they lose more ...
NZ officials are so pathetic they can't even do their job and deport clear cut convicted criminals. The immigrations lawyers are in the clover, making sure that the 'rich' white colour criminals are coming here a plenty so their is plenty of further ...
Did their mistakes lead to 5 years imprisonment? because that seems more than a 'mistake'. The issue is not even about his "mistake" but the NZ offical stupidity that some convicted criminal low level sports person, currently in prison, who seems well ...
Spoken like a true wokie. Everything is someone else's fault and everyone else (who they despise) should pay by working hard (which they also despise) for their entitlement to a recreational lifestyle (self entitlement) and the social consequences from ...
Can NZ have the $500,000+ for his prison stay back from his 2 million dollar house while paying reparation for his 'bad choices'... meanwhile the hardship benefits continue to people who actually live and work here paying the taxes for his prison stays.
