It absolutely astounds me that AI and cloud data centres are being allowed and even welcomed given their stupendous power and water needs.

Once again as with oil and coal (which will both be used to power AI) we let a few get wealthy while the rest of us burn, drown or die of thirst and hunger.

Disgusting, will be interesting to see how the stock market reacts, no doubt many squeaky bums..

Frankly its a COP OUT by all the big players. Disgusting lack of action with billions of lives and countless numbers of species being pushed towards the cliff.

I for one was told when i joined my previous employer that “we don't do Kiwi saver here” so i only had a kiwi saver account for a few years. I imagine many kiwis have been swindled in this way leaving us dreading retirement.

Just look at the smug look on Putin’s face. Putin has dirt on Trump and is obviously blackmailing Trump.

Decades ago before the fall of the USSR the KGB identified Trump as someone who could have influence in future US polics. Trump was invited to Moscow and given “special” treatment…

It literally sickens me to think that Labour is even contemplating getting into bed with NZ first.

I cannot believe that is the plan, its yet another “1984” scenario. Personally i simply won’t purchase a product that doesn't have a readable label.

And also further diminishing NZ’s international reputation for being forward-thinking on environmental sustainability and human rights issues.

I wonder if modern infrared cameras are good enough to see and record the faces of these cowards for future prosecutions..

I don't think they made any progress regarding the reduction of fossil fuel use.

The figures are definitely rigged by police no shows. A truly independent examination of how each police station responds to calls made to both the emergency call line and the crime stoppers hotline would prove this. It also isn't just woman being let down.

I find it hard to believe that there is more than 30% of New Zealanders who have even a basic understanding of the consequences and urgency of climate change.

To really understand the depth of rot within the police force we would need an examination of every police station including the front desk staff.

A secret shopper type test of police responses to victims calls would also reveal the level of racism, sexism and more.

Yes but please incorporate similar consequences for environmental damage and contamination.
