Any info out there on the 8 Rivers project?

Mentioned in passing on The Nation by Mr Jones. Almost nothing said except – a substantial proposal being hawked around Taranaki, and the PGF might facilitate large, new private investors. Whatever that means. With Mr Jones, who knows?

  8 Rivers? What is 8 Rivers, then?
  
  Well, basically, it’s a group of investors that are seeking to create, in Taranaki — I don’t want to say too much about it — but a new development that would create hydrogen and create an output of urea.
  
  And what would that industry be worth if you got it up and running?
  
  Well, we certainly wouldn’t be funding it. But the cost of such a development would be well over a billion dollars.

    I can create methane and and create an output of urea for well under that. The price of half a dozen Lion Red and you could hook me up to the National grid.

      8 Rivers – among the technology this group is interested in is eliminating CO2 emissions from carbon fuels – like gas, which Jacinderella has sealed up as untouchable.
      
      8 Rivers looks like an American technologist think tank rather than an industrial venture with deep financial pockets. More a partner for risk investors than for a small agricultural country’s taxpayers.
      
      Here’s something 8 Rivers is interested in:
      
      “The Allam Cycle is a new type of power cycle that takes a novel approach to emissions reduction. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design. The only by-products are liquid water and a stream of high-purity, pipeline-ready CO2. The cycle can utilize a variety of fuels, including natural gas, unprocessed raw and sour gas, and gasified solid fuels such as coal or biomass. The Allam Cycle embodies major advantages over conventional systems: attaining high efficiencies at low costs with low to no water consumption. All this with full, free emissions capture.”

        A trial Allam Cycle plant, involving 8 Rivers, has been under test in La Porte Texas.
        
        The project is a collaboration involving, among others, Exelon, Toshiba, McDermott, and 8 Rivers Capital’s portfolio company, NET Power.
        
        A short video on the Allam Cycle (note the use of the Greens’ and Jacinderella’s despised natural gas):

        Another interesting video on the Allam cycle and other ways of using hydro-carbons like gas without pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
        
        (Meanwhile, do we have here NZ First taking an optimistic, positive approach to use of carbon fuel, versus the Jacinderella-Green approach of banning it?)

On the far left of the radio dial I note Labour’s propaganda arm, RNZ, is now desperately trying to roll the Sroubek turd in glitter in a vain attempt at distraction.

They led Tuesday afternoon’s Checkpoint bulletin with an extended, heart-rending interview with the criminal’s Czech speaking mother who naturally said he was A Good Boy and deserved another chance.

But you had to hear the NZ voice over artist who read Mum’s translated answers adding her own touches with a ‘harrowed’ tone. Why do that? Why ‘act’? Why embellish? We could already hear the tone in Mila’s Czech accent.

Have a listen – it’s hilarious. But it is that rare thing – quite transparent.

https://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018671052/karel-sroubek-s-mother-mila-give-him-one-last-chance

RNZ has completely jumped the shark. To their credit they read out some of the horrified listener correspondence, but to me RNZ is running interference for Labour.

What was the reason for ILG’s bizarre decision?

  RE: ‘What was the reason for ILG’s bizarre decision’.
  
  ‘Information’ held about certain senior members of the NZLP (or the relations there-of) perhaps?
  
  ‘Always have a ‘lever’; you never know when it can be ‘useful’…
  
  The MSM will, of course, not bother to do their job, so we are unlikely to ever know…

  From the court transcripts, “Mr Antolik’s mother lives in the Czech Republic and acted as the Czech agent for Mr Antolik’s company.”!!! The mothers name is all through the import operation. Something RNZ seems to have conveniently failed to report. Send them both packing. The Jurors didn’t believe her or Antolik who found them unanimously guilty. and concluded their defence was “far-fetched”. https://forms.justice.govt.nz/search/Documents/pdf/jdo/de/alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/aeeaa4a8-ffa2-4a63-9749-07f2a5abbeab/aeeaa4a8-ffa2-4a63-9749-07f2a5abbeab.pdf

      Thanks Tauhei. I agree this website does a great job. I wasn’t the one who originally posted the link however. It was someone else on Kiwiblog. I just recalled reading it when the mother was being interviewed and thought hey didn’t I read on Kiwiblog the court summary that suggested the mother was involved somehow.

    A most interesting judgment confirming my opinion we are dealing with a new wannabe Mr Big. The mother seems to be tainted with criminality too.
    
    Were these papers available to Immigration prior to the decision? If so they must reinforce the necessity for an inquiry. The logic points to possible corruption.

  One thing I still have not seen is how this mess got in the media in the first place.
  
  The minister does not make press releases about every person who gets a special gift of residence.

I was told yesterday “it’s better to be kind than to be right”. That might explain why she voted for labour/green. The problem is, I still think that two plus two equals four.

  Ha, many years ago during journalism training, we were required to do a “personality” test.
  One of the questions was along the lines of : for a reporter, is it better to be kind; or fair and accurate?
  Our lecturers (all, of whom were, or had been professional journalists to a high level) were saddened to see that several of the class had replied “kind”.
  Things got tightened up a bit after that.

“Radio Live couldn’t find its place in the Kiwi zeitgeist”

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12160799

And

“The Death of Radio Live”

https://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2018671371/the-death-of-radio-live

The difference between Radio Live and Newstalk ZB was that (aside from Danny Watson) ZB’s presenters were and still are, radio people first and foremost.

Their lineup was (and still is) consistent, and consistently conservative. Even Paul Holmes was a genuine radio man.

Contrast that with Radio Live’s ever-changing lineup – celebrities, controversial figures, ex MPs, journalists, progressives, and ‘TV stars’. Often two at a time talking to each other instead of the listeners and the folks who ring in.

Expensive.

  I agree. ZB is about as close to the “voice” of the average Kiwi as you can get. There is no clerical finger wagging like on Radio New Zealand or corporate contrived celebrity crap like Radio Live. The difference of course was that Radio Live was private, so it’s failure to gain an audience means it will disappear. Radio NZ survives because the long-suffering taxpayer is forced to subsidise it.

    RNZ is not subsidised. It is 100 percent government funded.
    
    It would be an interesting experiment to listen to a selection of ‘morning report’ shows from 20 years ago when Plunket and Robertson ran the show. It would sound much closer to a serious news show. To fix RNZ now, you would need to burn it down and start afresh.

Evidence has also emerged, as to how the Saudi’s were able to remove the blood, torture and excreta stains from the carpet –

  I don’t really care.
  It is just one dead journalist.
  Who cares for journalists.
  They are lower than a snakes belly and paid liars.
  
  How about the focus is on Saudi Arabia and it’s murderous regime in Yemen.
  How about we look at who is supplying all the arms to Saudi – Britain, France, USA etc
  How about we look at human rights to guest workers in Saudi
  …then ask why all this is ignored
  ..and why Saudi had any entitlement to be on the scabby old UN Human Rights Council
  Saudi Arabia has slid by on massive human rights abuse for decades often as a quid pro quo for stabilising worlds oil prices.
  
  Action, if anything is to be done, should have been done long ago.
  One dead journo makes SFA difference.
  They got away Scott free with 9/11 and it was Iraq that was destroyed. Huh?
  That is a tragedy.
  Not one dead scribbler in 2018.
  
  There is a bigger picture of cover up and truth burial than one deceased journo.
  There are thousands of journos around the world that don’t report the truth and have never bothered to try.
  That is a bigger issue.
  There are many victims of Saudi Arabia abuse over the last 50+ years.
  S.A. has not got away with it without a truckload of quid pro quo for USA, Britain and France.
  
  Chasing down a rabbit hole of one dead fellow- who had got out of the country anyway – will not solve the bigger issues. It is a distraction.

    It appears to me, in these cases:
    If it’s a journalist or a politician journalists agree with, then it makes news forever.
    If not then it disappears PDQ.
    eg The GOP senator shot by a Dem supporter at a baseball game.
    Compared to this.

  Rightly so as I see the drama that is associated with Pike River has claimed another life.
  
  That’s without mentioning the lives of those that are unheard and who want the debacle that is Little’s reentry put to rest along with their grief and memories.
  
  Peter’s who was going to first in now has altered his approach and says “if he is invited” which Little, who also made noise to that effect ,says he won’t be, as they will be using experts on the job.
  
  $37 million would have done a bit of work around a few hospitals or bought a few houses for the state to house all those that need help.

    Plus
    The only risk, that those that make the decision, is political.
    The one’s who go into the mine, it is physical (their lives)
    A bit like the generals in WW1 way behind the lines, making decisions that effected the LIVES of the troops on the line.
    Except, in WW1 the plans and decisions (from info. at the time) could have won the war and saved lives.
    BUT here, there are no lives to be saved. Only lives to be risked. For the sake of POLITICS, FEELINGS and APPEARANCES.

  Totally agree! Mustn’t have our journalists straying from the narrative and doing objective work.
  
  And if they do, well shame on them and we have to call them what they are – Alt-Right, gun-toting, schoolkid shooting, Islamaphobic, race-baiting, sexist, white supremacist fascists. We must picket their homes and murder their children in their beds until all journalists follow the gospel according to Soros.
  
  So glad that you spoke up for right and “kindness” once again MB- we’re lucky to have someone as “woke” as you to help us understand the higher path set-out for us by our Lord the SLG.

    Sigh it’s all so sadly predictable when it comes to Muttonbird posts.
    
    A journo who points out col idiocy – national shill
    
    Labour Party sex offender – national Party plant , part of a nefarious plot to discredit our glorious leader
    
    Alt right- anyone who disagrees with Muttonbird
    
    Can’t fault someone else’s argument?- immediately declare them a racist
    
    Jordan Peterson – mentally ill , alt right racist cult leader .
    
    There’s more unfortunately , I’m sure others can add to the list.

After the black face float (trying saying that three times fast), the media have got all upset about one of the stalls at the A&P selling golliwogs. We’ve just all got too PC. I had a golli and so did my sister. Never thought anything about it.

More waste and ineptitude from the Christchurch City Council. Having completed the Dudley Creek remediation programme in the Richmond/ Shirley area at a cost of some $52 million dollars to solve the problems of flooding in the Flockton basin district, the Council then contracted Wai Ora Trust to landscape all the affected river banks and reserves that have been created. Only problem is that, having spent however many hundred of thousands on all the trees and bushes and pretty planting, the entire area has now been abandoned for nature to take its course. No maintenance, no weeding, no attention whatsoever. And nature is obliging in the way only nature know- it’s now an over grown mess with half the plants already dead, awaiting further ratepayer dosh to rectify the neglect.

But why should the CCC care? It’s only ratepayer money after all.

Andrew Little showing what a complete arsole he is by saying the Crown should make a opology to the the victims Families that lost their love ones in the Pike River Mine Disaster. After this he went on to blame all others except himself and his Union that he controlled for the disaster, let’s hope the media actually take him to task on this as this hypocrite should shoulder his share of the blame for his lack of authority in shutting down unsafe procedures that were being used by the miners at Pike River.

ps, it’s racist for the Lions to wear blackface on a float, but not racist when a black Shortland St actor wears whiteface – in fact, it is lauded. The are even calling themselves, ‘The White Face Crew’.

Housing analyst ( Economist … Rodney Dickens ) says soaring land prices Auckland’s key housing obstacle | Catherine Harris | Stuff.co.nz

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/property/108676571/housing-analyst-says-soaring-land-prices-aucklands-key-housing-obstacle

A housing commentator says the Government’s Kiwibuild programme might not be necessary if more was done to reduce the price of land.

Rodney Dickens of Strategic Risk Analysis said his figures showed that Auckland section prices in October now made up 67 per cent of the median house price, compared to 41 per cent in January 1993.

That meant the house itself, and improvements, was worth less than a third of the price. … read more via hyperlink above …

‘Extremely bitter’?

Really? So outlining the dangers of entering a known ‘Firey’ Mine’ is now ‘bitter? ‘

Au contraire, I would suggest that the word to be used is actually ‘Real’ – especially as the cowardly Mr Little now apparently intends to ‘…Send people back down the mine shaft of a gaseous grave, now almost euphemistically known as Pike River’.

Funny that; I thought that he and Mr Peters were going to be ‘first in’ and that they actively campaigned on that basis.

Does this mean that they have chickened out?

Perhaps, given your evident contacts within the upper levels of the NZLP, you might care to apraise us of the ‘real’ situation (just to dispel any wrong information which the article might contain of course).

Looking forward to hearing it.

Thank you.

    Samuel P Huntington’s “The Clash of Civilizations. Remaking of World Order” was first published 21 years ago, and we have been moving inexorably towards that scenario ever since. At the heart of the matter is the fundamental incompatibility between, on the one hand, the ideology of Islam and, on the other, the moral values of the Western liberal democracies. A boycott of the Muslim states won’t be necessary: they will continue to alienate themselves from us as, paradoxically, they increase in power and try to assert greater influence over the non-Muslim world.
    Funnily enough, two of our traditional adversaries – the totalitarian Communist states of Russia and China – may well become our allies in this face-off (China has already uncompromisingly flexed its muscles against its Muslim native Uighurs).
    For some nations, however – notably, in Europe – it looks to be too late to reverse the takeover by infiltration. Let this be a warning to us in New Zealand.

        No. Just disagree with your views on Read. Are you wanting a more expressive leader or do you think his general play is not up to it? Huge tackle count ( especially impressive on dominant tackles), massive work rate, ran effectively. Ireland were also good. Just don’t get where you are coming from. Is Keiran Read the new SBW?

        he got penalised by the line early in the game and a knock on with the try line in sight.

        Spoiled an attacking scrum early in second half with a poor pass to Beauden Barrett and then, minutes later, knocked on after a charge down with Jack Goodhue in the clear. He doesn’t seem quite right but his back surgery meant this was always going to be a challenging year for him.
        
        i think the herald rated him a 5 or 6? stuff a 6 or 7
        
        he hasnt had a great year.

        Simple point I am making. It is easy to have an armchair opinion. It is an immensely complicated game today and basing an opinion on ……. actually I don’t know what you were basing your opinion – a feeling that Read didn’t play well when in fact his actions and stats support the fact he played well – it just strikes me as odd.
        Your comments usually make me chuckle focusing on Read seems odd as he was one of our better performers

        I am not defending Read – just dont think he was the guy that had a shit game that stood out, when others around him were also poor.
        I thought Smith (Aaron) was very poor, Squire looks out of his depth in the UK, Retallick (admittedly he has very high standards) was below his best today, etc. Read made 2 mistakes that were very visible – the poor pass off the base of the scrum (his fault or the line Smith ran??) and knocking on after his charge down. We lost and i can live with that as we have lost key games prior to world cups in 11 and 15 against teams that we have gone on and beaten in the tournament.

excuse me while I write the heralds headlines for the next week..

-All Blacks lose their Aura
– Barret should be fullback
-the MacKenzie experiment has failed

Hard to be mad losing to the Irish. I can handle them or wales and maybe France. that’s about it.

Fuck knows what we were doing tactically. trying to play “RWC final footy”?

I’m glad we didn’t sneak a try at the end. a draw wouldn’t have been a good thing.

Crotty – far superior to SBW nowadays.

As for poor Ireland, probably get bundled out at the quarters next year heh

The Irish scrum surprised me.

Some careful player management needed next year to get the toothpaste salesman, franks and Whitelock through the year firing at the right time.

Ioane tackled in the air. wasn’t a card which is fine, but ya know if SBW had done that, red card.

Lastly, this game just shows how hard it is to win a world cup. to do it 3 times in a row is nigh on impossible. I would put money on us not winning it.

  Just watched the game in an Irish bar. What a disaster. Who are the f-ing useless new props, hands? We need a new game plan.
  
  “Ioane tackled in the air. wasn’t a card which is fine, but ya know if SBW had done that, red card.” Barnes is completely corrupt, that is a red card offense (even if I think it’s a harsh rule).
  
  Come on Ritchie comeback please.

    When big Karl got the load on and had him in trouble, the Irish tighthead would release his bind, lift his arm and roll his right shoulder up. Net result, Karl shot up out of the scrum because he had nothing to push against. It happened on something like at least three occasions right in front of the ref who didn’t cotton on to it. Nothing to do with Karl’s propping – it was illegal tactics.

  dime, the NZ TAB is now quoting the following returns for a $1 bet to win the 2019 Rugby World Cup:
  
  New Zealand 2.00; Ireland 4.00; England 8.00; South Africa 10.00; Australia 12.00; Wales 18.00.
  
  Because (the bloody draft) World Rugby mob went and did their draw a long long time ago (why?), they seeded the thing so that New Zealand got to meet England in the Final.
  
  But if the games go to seedings, Ireland and New Zealand will meet in a Semifinal … the winner going on to meet (likely) England in the Big Dance.

Herald Headline yetsreday

“Hilarious reason Tom Cruise fired from role”

Turns out he’s short.

Imagine this headline:

“Hilarious reason Amy Schumer fired from role”

– shes fat.

Can you imagine the outcry?

I couldn’t care less if the Herald wants to “height shame” but its the hypocrisy that kills me.

This is how sick our justice system is. Surely, the government can intervene.

Air Force sex predator continues to brutalise servicewoman, from behind bars

She was locked in a cage and sexually assaulted. Now the Defence Force and the officer who attacked her are demanding $200,000 legal costs.

An Air Force servicewoman is waiving her court-imposed anonymity to tell of her terrifying sex attack ordeal at the hands of an officer.

But she is paying the price: she is asking for public help as the NZ Defence Force and her attacker demand $200,000 in legal costs before letting her take her compensation case to the Court of Appeal.

  Well actually the taxpayer has forked out a fortune helping the women get Justice.
  
  She can get compensation with ACC.
  
  She has made claims in the lower courts but they were rejected.
  
  With the expectation that the same cliam will be rejected for the same legal reason it’s only reasonable that costs are met from this point on.
  If she is confident of winning then it’s not an issue. If it’s just a never ending desire for revenge or money then she needs to reevaluate things.
  
  She got justice when taxpayers prosecuted him, and imposed a sentence.

    Rubbish:
    The guy was prosecuted for raping his daughters and 3 other girls.
    
    Taylor’s claims against Roper sexually abusing her whilst she was in the Airforce were dismissed solely because of the time factor.
    
    She was unsuccessful in her compensation bid: This year, Justice Rebecca Edwards found the claims of abuse and harassment by Roper were proven, but Taylor had left it too late to take the matter to court.

      Thanks for the support Maggy, The should be no time limit on civil claims against violent or criminal offending,
      
      There rightfully is a 6 year limit on a civil action that is in some case can be extended.
      
      In this case, the Army should not have used the time limit to escape liability if they were negligent.
      
      This just goes to show why the ACC should be scrapped.

I really have to ask what is the point of this type of story – and how do they come about?

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/108655711/homeless-with-a-newborn-in-new-zealand-after-fleeing-wartorn-country

I see these ‘refugee’ stories quite commonly recently – and ask why are they so clearly prioritised over the millions of other life stories present in NZ today – these refugee stories are told in numbers out of all proportion to their representation in the population.

And how do these stories come about? Has the refugee contacted the reporter to tell their tale – or has the reporter contacted the refugee, presumably via an agency, and asked to profile them? If the reporter or their news outlet has a qouta of refugee stories to feature annually, why do we NEVER get profiles of refugees who have gone on to rape their taxi customers, or murder their wives or girlfriends or systematically rip off our social welfare institutions? Why are those stories NEVER told?

Oh, and I see the article’s writer is “Danielle Clent – Auckland Breaking News Reporter.”

WTF? What is so ‘breaking news’ about yet another fucking refugee story.

And why did Danielle Clent not even attempt to put a fucking figure on what this woman has cost us to date? How many hundreds of thousands?

What ‘reporting’ is this?

    How is becoming a bigger burden on everyone around her a “success story”.?
    
    It will only be a success story if/when she completely turns her life around, becomes productive and is contributing to society instead of draining it.
    
    I hope that eventually happens.

It’s a luvly balmy day here in Auckland, and we’ve just come back inside after downing a bucket of KFC by the pool.

The missus made what I thought for her was a rather profound observation, when she said…. “You know there’s nearly *EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE* in the world, but we’d probably only be able to call 5 of them our friends”

Wimmin, eh…..

  Soon there will be 10 Billion, then 15 Billion. You, me and your five friends will be dead by then.
  
  The only people left will be millenials, with no friends, permanently wired into the Internet, zombies drinking, by the pool, from robot delivered nutrition, fake milk, smoothies. Branded Wendy’s, Miss McDees, or Burger Queen, under the matriarchy gender diversity programmes.
  
  Only men will work as maternity leave after 30 more women’s marches will be a lifetime reward, on full pay. Kinda where we started.

  Population growth is slowing, and we can expect to have 11 billion humans by 2100, ie 81 years from now. The global population growth rate is currently 1.05%, and this will drop to 0.08% by 2100.
  
  So chin up old boy. There will be a few more people to get to know before you ‘shuffle off this mortal coil’. (Would an examiner please include that expression in a Year-13 exam. Please!)

    Population is flattening off – or even contracting – in every part of the world except Africa.
    
    Africa is full, they’re overflowing into Europe and America.
    
    We’re probably the furthest place you can get from all this extra diversity.

      You’re right. Averaged across the EU, their fertility rate dropped below the magic 2.1 level way back in 1975. Affluence is the biggest determinant of a dropping fertility numbers, and as Europe is discovering simply making up the difference by importing people from poor nations is a tad more tricky than the Excel model showed.

?Brian Gaynor has an interesting article in the Hooerald about what he sees as poor oversight by the Reserve Bank.

The central bank oversees NZ insurance companies, and Gaynor is talking about the bank welcoming the liquidation of CBL Insurance although shareholders and other interested parties opposed this.

There was some criticism of the Reserve Bank after the finance companies collapses, but this sounds more serious.

Perhaps it is time to get the regulatory role of the bank handed over to some new regulatory agency.

There are allegations that CBL’s French insurance business was “significantly under-reserved”; and that CBL paid $55 million to overseas companies in breach of directions; and that $135 million worth of CBL shares were traded on the NZ and Australian stock exchanges after the Reserve Bank knew CBL “was in serious trouble”.

Sounds like there should be, first an inquiry into what was going on at the Reserve Bank; and second, who should be regulating insurance companies.

An interesting column. Thank you, Brian Gaynor.

I note that Stuff has a piece about Septic Sepaloni getting married in Fiji. The puff piece goes onto say that Septic was very happy to be able to have her mother and father attend her wedding.
Now, as nice as that sounds I have an issue with Septic’s mother being in attendance as this wedding. Remember Septic’s mother is a convicted benefit fraudster, one who ripped off the tax payer to the tune of $15k, when convicted of this crime in March 2015 Septic’s mother was ordered to pay it back at $20 per week.
So, assuming that the fine is still not paid in full why was Septic’s mother was allowed to leave NZ when she still owes the tax payer at least $11k?

  Maybe we by default can get the money back.
  Don’t let her back in NZ.
  
  I think a mother should be allowed to see a daughter married. If someone does something wrong, punish them. I think however our punishment shouldn’t deminish our humanity.
  We let prisoners go to funerals, with or without shoes.

    If Septic’s mother has the money to travel to Fiji for a wedding then she should have spent that money refunding the tax payer.
    One often hears of people being stopped from traveling at the border because of unpaid court fines and the like, why is Septic’s mother any different?
    Unless of course this is another example of Labour party corruption and a Labour party Minister of social development abusing her position for personal gain.

Querying all landlords, has your compliance burden just got worse? I have had the rental agency for my ChCh property email me stating they need confirmation of each smoke alarm, the last date of battery change, location and a whole bunch of other info. Seeing as I don’t live in ChCh, I asked them to do the check for me, and got the reply “sorry, no, conflict of interest, but here is someone who will charge extra for that work on our behalf”.

My wellington property is now going back on the rental market after renovations, and apparently the receipt for the under-floor insulation recently installed is not good enough, so the rental agency need to engage another third party to inspect the insulation and write a report back.

Is this the experience of other landlords recently? Smells like a mickey-take to me.

      If only the union had cooperated:
      
      …..” After finding during an audit that compressed air was being blown on a methane sensor he pulled the structure down. He was unsure what happened to the culprit.
      
      Until recently, he was unaware of the number of times the sensors had been interfered with – including being covered with plastic bags.
      
      One witness has told the commission that in 2009, 18 or 20 of the miners searched had been found with contraband, from cigarettes to cellphones. “…..
      
      https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/plastic-bags-put-over-gas-sensors-pike-river-mine
      
      Or do you think that miners stopping for a smoke & disabling gas sensors is reasonable behaviour that couldn’t possibly contribute to an explosion?

      In such situations all the ‘inspecting’ in the world is totally useless if, minutes after the Inspector leaves, the old, dangerous and prevailing practices return.
      
      Unless said Inspector is on top of his game, and enforces his rulings at ALL levels, this is not an unusual occurance, and happens in many industries.
      
      In addition to the situation I have just described, an ‘unskilled’ Inspector, inexperienced in the field or the industry, may also unwitingly contribute to a situation which, if allowed to continue, eventually causes failures, often of considerable magnitude.
      
      Pike River would appear to have suffered from all of the above…

  Best thing is to print off the official insulation template at the link below, and attach a copy to the tenancy agreement. Or give to the property manager to attach. It’s not that complicated and there is room on the form for explanations and the signoff requires that all reasonable efforts have been made.
  
  I’ve just done one, not a major.
  
  To be fair to the PM there is a serious fine potentially, payable to the tenant so the PM is trying to look out for you. I am certain we will see tenants trying it on, and very likely sometimes succeeding.

  Hormones haven’t been used in poultry feeds since the 50s & then to the best of my knowledge only in the USA.
  
  The human female breast is about 90% stored fat so big tits & a fat backside usually indicates excessive consumption of chicken, chips & everything else the average lard-arsed chicky babe shoves down her throat. 🙂

Much like Ardern, Macron must hanker for sweet gig with the UN, once the French turf him from their Palace:

According to the IEA, France is sitting on 80% of Europe’s frackable gas – enough to keep the country self-sufficient in energy for centuries. But the Macron government has just banned, not only fracking, but any extraction of any fossil fuels whatsoever on mainland France. It’s as if Marie Antoinette said: “Let them eat cake,” and then banned cake-making in France on the grounds that it was bad for the figure.

Purge by a lesbian of straight white men from a leading British advertising agency is alleged.

I wonder if something is going on in the NZ advertising industry. According to some folk, suddenly we are being deluged with politically correct TV ads with, for example, racially blended families the norm.

If that’s true, the business customers paying for the ads aren’t calling the tune.
