I tend to think the NZ government's proposal to build an LNG facility for electricity resilience is fairly silly...
But it's always nice to get some perspective on how much stupider things could get.

Has New Zealand Energy Corp go anything to do with the proposed new infrastructure to shore up the ailing domestic gas industry? I know Willis' dad doesn't work there anymore, but I'm guessing the family have a shitload of shares....

Did Nicola Willis just appoint Atlas Network connections to her surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry?
Willis launches a surprise Covid inquiry with results to come out 6 weeks before the election. Most NZ publications noted her hiring of "independent" experts. I looked further into it.

Athanasios Orphanides is a Milton Friedman acolyte so it's got a pre-determined outcome.
He has argued against central banks having a mandate for protecting employment, so is likely to damn any such policy.

Don't play their game on their pitch using their rules, you literally cannot win in any way that is meaningful because they fundamentally do not care about your ideas, thoughts, position or argument. It's all self promotional right wing glysophate towards free speech.

Going on the Free Speech Union podcast is validating their ridiculously bad faith operating model and ideology, it's a few degrees away from when those "left" wingers Trotter (yes I know, he's not) was coopted by them to show they were bipartisan when they're nothing but right wing shit heads.

A while back now RNZ approached me to debate Liam Hehir on some stupid ass thing about cancel culture or academic freedom and after considering it I realised that by turning up I'd give some weight to his fucking nonsense. So I said no, and they didn't do the piece.
