Oh forgot to ask did you have an opinion oh the threshold?

Onya!

As i may've said before hope Gary Stevenson gives them a big plug when he's here.
It'd be a win win as he wants to see nations tax the rich and that's what the Greens want to do.
I must say tho with AKL house prices I think their threshold of $2M is a bit low. Gary's is £10M in the UK thoughts? 🤔

You can own a Japanese castle for $64,000, but there’s a big catch - Dexerto A six-story Japanese-style castle in Japan is currently on sale, and it can be yours for just $64,000, provided you don’t mind a few additional repair fees.

NZ Steel will be retiring one of their 42-48MW Melters one the EAF is running. There is DR associated with that new PSA too

I guess an LNG terminal as far as pricing goes would mean they'd not just mothball but close as there is no coming back from that price floor.

They already aren't contributing to the overall company's financial position...

Sorry but that's just puerile

They are a disgrace

I agree

Oh you're a Canadian hiding behind a pseudonym... no wonder you're bleating

Russian LMAO you're truly one of the unhinged in Dickensian's madding crowd albeit in the present

Your ego certainly is...

Why don't you go and shout at someone who is pro the invasion.
I am clearly not.

What gets me is that the Rogue State's (US) very own govt didn't sanction this let alone the UN security council

Unless you are some linguist versed in international law I highly doubt it

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must ...

Canada supported the invasion - fact

Yep the pipelined is all on TP website.
Tauhei a biggie later in 26 is of interest to me having met Grogan on a potential project.
A lot of water under the bridge for Meridian to invoke DR. They can't just do it broadly.

True
Furthermore despite low reservoir capacity dams are stored energy = batteries. Pumped hydro can utilise this with other renewables. We need to get over lampooning Onslow and revisit all possibilities. I know the energy traders hated the former as it would've collapsed electricity prices

Methanex would hate to see a price floor created by installing a terminal as they publicly stated in 03... what has changed? If it goes ahead and they pull out gas reserves will last no exploration will be underwritten nor needed even if we wanted it to which we don't...it will be an own silly goal

Which countries will align with Spain?

Not Canada
Given everyone took a deep breath when Carney made his speech at Davos those words will haunt him with his major U- turn supporting the illegal invasion of Iran

When will we recognise how close to the brink we actually are?

Bus on campus

Explanation of the stripes inside the bus.

This bus is electric!

Stripes made in Reading.

The new Reading 'warming stripes' double-decker electric bus came to campus today.

The bus is painted in the local warming stripes to start climate conversations throughout the town.

A greenish black toad with large, widely spaced warty bumps on their back, perched on a stick! The warty bumps are brown in color, as is the top of their head, their large parotoid glands, and the back sides of their legs!

Our friend the Udzungwa Glandular Tree Toad was first described as a new species just a few months ago! Like other toads in genus Nectophrynoides, they do not lay eggs and instead give birth to fully developed toadlets! (photo by John Lyakurwa)

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Health, climate change concerns inspire weekly vegetarian meals at Finland's army canteens The decision to add more vegetarian options was driven by health concerns as well as the impact of meat production on climate change rather than money.

"So far, all of Finland’s garrisons cater to vegetarians and overall, the Army has sought to introduce increasing amounts of vegetables into soldiers’ diets."

Isn't it surprising how better diets, clean energy and active lifestyles contribute to national security?

No change to government's LNG plans after global price spike Labour says it is naive to rely on LNG.

This guy's head is stuck deep in the sands of his own ignorance... and if you skip to the end you'll see Nicola has her head in exactly the same place

Yep and attend your 18yo's birthday party and encourage 'em all to vote in #Election26

If it's gonna be
It's up to me

With customer focus like that makes you wonder...

Is this one of the marks Luxon left?

Will the recent profit drop ever be reflected in a change in attitude?
