I think it feels over the top because we normally only hear of weak as fuck fines for environmental/fisheries offending. In this case a small company got the book thrown at them, I have doubts that a company like Talleys would ever see a fine like this. They would be in the Ministry for Primary Industries office and lobbying away before anything happen.
I am at least hopeful that something could happen now.
I got to say I have been enjoying woman’s sport in general. I originally went to a game because it was cheap and something to do. But I have really enjoyed the game play and it nice to go to a game and not break the bank. I haven’t been priced out of watching this sport
Nationals policy isn’t bad , it’s just not targeted for example if my business needed a new machine to boost productivity realistically I would have already done the business case to see if the numbers are going to stack up. Nationals policy won’t change the business case, if it makes sense, the 20% isn’t the difference between viable and non-viable in most cases. Always exceptions of course. It will be interesting to get a the details on what labour is planning
There seems to be a lot of upset people on the right and the left because of the fact that top can potentially swing either way.
“You don’t know what you are going to get”
Policy wise top appears to be centre left, I think it’s a good thing for nz politics as a whole if they get in.
Claims on youtube that Iran has fired warning shots (2x balistic cruise missiles). No information about any outcomes yet.
I don’t own a SUV I own an EV which is another type of vehicle that gets blamed for wrecking roads due their weight. Roads are designed around the largest vehicle that commonly use them. For example in suburban neighbourhoods that would be a garbage truck. Would SUVs increase road wear sure, but Increased traffic and less road maintenance would be bigger factors then SUVs.
Pretty sure it transport trucks and lorries that do most of the damage, but sure blame SUVs everyone hates those right?
Upvoting this, you can turn any computer into a router as well. You can have control of your own hardware.
This appears to be fake news from the US and Israel based on other sources.
This makes me furious that they can do this without a cost comparison of the other options on the market (renewable and non-renewable)
I could live with this if I knew they had compared all the options on the table showed their math and they gave some solid reasons for this choice; But they did none of this. At best commercial users will get their power price a bit more predictable. Residential users will be paying the “levy” so commercial users have more certainty about power cost.
I won’t start on how we are 100% reliant on offshore companies to supply LNG.
Not throwing shade here, but i don't know a single person (farmer or not) in a disaster situation that would not want the government to fix the roads, maybe a road is not fixable... but if i had a apartment, house, cottage, batch, farm at the end of a road i would like the council/government to fix the road to my place, if they couldn't that would be a big deal and i would be unhappy. The individuals affected by this may have supported or opposed climate action, it doesn't change their current situation that they are still in.
100% this. The internet before business/corporations understood how it worked was a wonderfully ugly (by today's standards) source of information. It was really possible to get global reach as an individual if you created something interesting. Search engines just indexed at that point, no buying key words to get on the front page. If you made the best "something" out there it would organically find its way to the top of search engines.
I was a firm believer that it was going to change the world giving individuals a chance to get their ideas out to the world, give small businesses global reach. It did change the world just not in the way i had hoped.
