    What I’m asking is, are you using less electricity.

  3. Comment on Open Mike 26/09/2026

    Are you using less electricity than before, tsmithfield?

    You’re a loose unit, Incognito and we feel blessed! Luxon’s in his Upper Room, touching base. It’s Not Okay to talk about this publicly, coz All Hell Will Break Loose, but hey, let’s throw caution to the wind. Luxxy must feel suxxy right now; the glaze in …

  5. Comment on Government is pathetic on gassing

    Predictions of “do-ability” for off-shore wells surely get blasted away by the increased energy in wind and ocean that come with climate change.

    I’ll try, but your true feelings are inspirational…

    Could the title of this post be reworked to say, “The Government is gassing on gassing”? 🙂

    Like burying a seed – all the Right need to do now is water it with their tears 🙂

    People from the Right are trying their damndest to bury this, not discuss this. They fudge, they divert but the best response from anyone has been from Luxon who ridiculously claimed never to have heard of Nicky Hager! He must be a total idiot, if what he …

    You won’t be reading it? You’ve had a lot to say about a book you won’t be reading because it’s not your cup of tea. I’m guessing you’re a Milo kinda guy anyway. Maybe you could curl up with an exciting dot-to-dot.

    Hello PLA – I am keeping very well, thanks – been distracted by a new and exciting hobby/pursuit of late and have been merely reading here, rather than commenting. On Penk – there’s something of a pong around Penk – we cheered his actions when he got …

    Chris Penk, “occasional” paid-up member of the Taxpayers “Union”, writes: “Mr Hager doesn’t appear to be a journalist any more than I am.” Going into bat for the TPU, Mr Penk? Didn’t you learn already the dangers of backing untrustworthy people? https:// …

    When writing a book you hope will attract the attention of as wide an audience as possible for the purpose of drawing attention to a serious matter, an author would wisely include material that appeals to all sorts of readers, rather than restricting the …

  16. Comment on The Government suddenly wants to limit the damage it has caused to our climate response

    It must truly be that New Zealanders just don’t believe or care that the climate is roughing-up because of human industry. Sad situation.

  17. Comment on The Government suddenly wants to limit the damage it has caused to our climate response

    And don’t forget, ACT are promising to extinguish the Climate Commission. “The sand” isn’t where those ostriches have their heads buried.

  18. Comment on The Government suddenly wants to limit the damage it has caused to our climate response

    Transport and other industries to pick up the slack from farming? No chance. If those transport and industry costs affect farmers, they’ll not have it!! The Feds will be into those Government MPs’ offices like rats to a dead hole.

    “Goldsmith said, “This will naturally be an extremely upsetting situation for anyone involved, and it would be inappropriate to politicise it, or to comment further.”” Goldsmith doesn’t want to comment further. Nothing must be said about the homeless …

    Is it true that someone died overnight, in front of Goldsmith’s office?

    Does that, “spell it out”? That sounds like a promo from the Atlas Foundation. That’s not how I perceive Kinser’s role. What do you think about her presenting as a candidate in competition with Chlöe? Happenstance?

    Eyebrows! Good one, Incognito – I hadn’t seen that.

  25. Comment on Open Mike 29/08/2026

    I’ve just raised a flag. Perhaps later on someone will say, Kinser? Kinser? That name rings a bell. Like dropping the word, “Palantir” into a conversation. Edit: someone like … SPC, for example.

    Have your eyebrows been raised yet? National Party candidate Candace Kinser. Campaigning for Chlöe Swarbrick’s seat in Auckland.

    Luxon and Upston, on the run. She knew, and denied knowing, in the House. He denied knowing, in the House but won’t apologise because so far as he knew blah blah blah! The Government’s hastily bodged-together changes are hurting vulnerable New Zealanders, …
