I actually expected worse than 11%, to be honest.

 

Yup.

Definitely, someone would be dead if they tasted like lollies. Especially since children have been eating them.

Well, some good news for once. I've been fixing at 6 months the last few renewals, in the hope rates will start to drop.

 

A major update about the meth lollies, something got lost in translation with the police I think, they seem way too relaxed about class A drugs being out there in the community.

It's an interesting idea actually.

I don't shop at Countdown, so I can't say firsthand.

Yeah, smuggling operation gone wrong was also my first theory.

The capital outlay may be small, but the ongoing maintenance on a floating structure like that would be quite high, certainly compared to a fixed installation.

That's why I made the comment about a smuggling operation gone wrong in the description, I suspect this was how the drugs got into the country in the first place.

Floating solar sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me, I suspect if it was as easy as the people promoting it make out, it would already be everywhere.

It also doesn't help that our hydro is mostly at the other end of the country to where all the sun is.

That's what I thought, and in this economy?

 

Not long ago, I posted a story about someone's dog eating meth on a walk through Auckland, and now this?

Was this a smuggling operation gone wrong perhaps?

We're incredibly fortunate to have so much hydro too, because it can be ramped up and down so quickly, so it works very well to fill in the gaps in base load.

Dams that have low water levels still work quite effectively as peak plants, too.

 

Honestly, the fact they even asked is pretty bad, voluntary or not.

 

God damn it, not again.

 

Wasn't expecting to read that headline today.

 

Looking at the photos, it definitely looks like a body from a distance, I don't blame anyone for making that mistake.

 

This is just an amazing series of events, with the greens now being forced to threaten to use the Waka Jumping legislation in order to try and make her do the right thing.

 

Chris Penk is kind of a dumbass, isn't he? The amount of things he's been completely wrong about is a very long list.

 

What do we think, will she resign? Will the greens use the Waka jumping law?

And is there anything remotely useful she can accomplish as an independent MP without an electorate?

 

Someone's Friday isn't going according to plan. What a mess.

 

I must admit, I don't fully understand the green party's objection to this piece of legislation, a party is elected with a mandate to represent the wishes of the people who voted for them. If an MP doesn't want to do that, then they should indeed resign, at least as a list MP.
