This is the consequence of the issue that JAG raised in Parliament yesterday. Hundreds of people, many in the rain, waiting to check in for the one Interislander ferry. Which is also delayed by an hour

NOT GETTING A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AND STRAIT INFRASTRUCTURE.

MINIMUM VIABILITY.

SMALLER FERRIES FOR MORE MONEY.

WORSE PORTS FOR THE SAME MONEY.

THIS IS COLOSSAL INCOMPETENCE.

Ways the govt could quickly help New Zealanders reduce fuel usage, but probably won’t 🤷, for reasons:

⚠️ Lower speed limits
🚌 Encourage PT (eg bring back half-priced fares)
🚲 Encourage active modes (eg pop-up bike paths)
🛤️ Move freight from road to rail (eg ramp up KiwiRail)
🏡 Support work-from-home

What's wild is that Trump is going around deliberately & explicitly trying to bully countries into becoming dependent on US LNG.

Who on earth thinks becoming dependent on the US is smart right now?

Tune in at noon to @bernardchickey.bsky.social's Midday Hoon, to hear @connorsharp.bsky.social discuss the extraordinary cost of one of the cheapest of the Coalition's Roads of National Significance—and the risks of govt rushing us into a contract.

Documents reveal Cabinet poised to commit $4bn to a RoNS that'll cost $22bn (or more) to complete.

❓Why is govt racing to lock this in—when it won't meet the “go” threshold until 2050?
❓Why does it require extra Crown $?
❓What’s the wider opportunity cost?

@connorsharp.bsky.social has the scoop. 👀

New Zealand has more sunshine than Germany.
But only 1 in 35 homes here has rooftop solar.
Australia? 1 in 3.

Why? I tried to find out - despite some strange secrecy

If you feel like this - so many of us do...get five people to check their enrolment online.

Hint: type your address manually, do not use the auto fill as - for me - it skewed the result...

Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/p/why-not-spend-27b-on-solar-and-batteries?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

If we can’t afford to have the expertise in our councils to operate critical infrastructure, how can we pay someone else to do it?

So these dipshits won't fund a *pair* of ferry terminals that'd get used several times a day, but will fund an LNG terminal that *might* get used once in a blue moon?

One terminal, for the same price as two, and with zero (0) ferries?

After the deadly climate change-amplified weather recently, the Luxon Govt claimed it is taking action on climate change.

But their actions actually make climate change worse by increasing emissions.

Luxon's govt cut funding for extreme-weather resilience in 2024, and so shouldn't be allowed to now crow about any money they dedicate without it being mentioned.

The Post does it right.
