Selling public assets to private hands only raises the cost of use of said business for users, it’s dirty capitalism. The new catch phrase is recycling assets 😂 how much did that cost to come up with?

Really feels like this a a very bad idea. Yet again, govt ministers hyped an unproven technology, and hey presto a report is produced to try and justify their decision. Meanwhile nothing is being done to address the privacy, reliability and environmental risks associated with the technology #nzpol

The minister had been moving to change the requirement, but has announced it will remove it altogether.

3 November 2025 saw two new NZ electricity records set: highest daily utility solar power generation (1.6 GWh, enough to make 50 million cups of tea), and the last day of an unprecedented 25-day run of zero coal power.
There will be a lot more records like this to come.

False logic from the Police here. The fact that they exceeded the target does not mean that there was no pressure to hit the target. Exceeding the target could indicate that at the time there was a lot of pressure, leading to the falsifications. So many by so many cops suggests a systemic problem

At what point do the media stop calling what it happening a "cease fire" (even Al Jazeera is guilty). The killing and starvation by Israel is ongoing. The genocide is still in full swing.
