A great article on Infrastructure- how investing in planning exploring options & excellent consultation & then acting fast confident in the best solution. Is the cheapest best solution. Fast tracking consents isn’t the problem if the solution is wrong.

Another submission. That’s about 4 different submissions done this year. First time this year. I’ve decided even being counted as a submitter is worth taking a few mins to express my views. It seems to be rattling the minister too.

If the cost of IREX as planned is compared to the cost of just one or two of National's "Roads of National Significance", the cost doesn't seem excessive. Arguably the ferries are as important or more so than any single road and hell of a lot more environmentally friendly.

Last election big parties were thwarted in the list line up with unexpected electorate results. Upsetting the apple cart - Nats & Labour only got a handful of list MPs. There is strategy to be had it’s just different.

Te Pati grew the vote share not cut the pie differently. It was conscious & strategic. 6 seats from 3% - 2 more than their party split & let’s say. 80% Te Pati Māori electorate seat voters gave party vote to Labour. Right can’t complain they’ve done it for years with Epsom - Act 1 % -1 seat

Yes we have party vote. But 2023 -Māori have shown strategic vote splitting gave 2 additional seats of Maori representation - Ka Pai. Nats won so many electorates their sure bet list MPs didn’t get in - If the Lab Nat split was closer those 2 TPM seats would have given govt to Left

Tui oilfields cost taxpayers almost half a billion to clean up.

How do those numbers add up?

My fear is Nat funders want hands on KO stock. Millions invested at height of boom in quality land & houses. Fine for long term investment.
Bishop saying house prices are going to fall - he knows. If flicked off en mass now - market will be flooded - sold at loss - AoNZ left w debt

Essentially your standard HWC becomes your battery ( & EV car ) I did the maths recently HWC &EV all charged when sunny - with maybe my office heater during day in winter. $10k 10Kw system would eat my summer power use & 1/3 ish reduction in winter. 6 yr payback. That’s fine by me.
