The Green's one-year (but extendable) moratorium on data centres will help to prevent further hikes in power prices by putting rules in place that force massively power hungry DC's to pay for and provide all of the power they need. Without this, supply and ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:35 am, August 20th, 2026
The Bowen Peak Ltd proposal in and above Queenstown may be the worst fast-track application in NZ. But that doesn't mean it won't get consent.

USA gross national debt is now $NZ69,000,000,000,000. That is NZ$200k per capita, or NZ$800k for a family of 4. The bond markets are going to lose patience one day.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 6:56 pm, August 19th, 2026

Even mining companies are complaining about Data Centres in Oz. Fortescue mining is developing its own off-grid renewable power source (equivalent to five Clyde dams) and thinks DC's should be forced to do the same or consumer prices and power supply will ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 2:19 pm, August 18th, 2026
Now Stanford berates her staff for "milling around" in Parliament's Banqueting Hall while her failed coup was taking place. The staff obviously knew it was all on for Stanford, but she blames them regardless. Who will want to work for her now?

Not quite so simple Weka. He was found not guilty of deliberate plagiarism. This from Wiki: Having been alerted to allegations of plagiarism in Arday's PhD thesis in 2025, Liverpool John Moores University—who had awarded him his PhD—set up a misconduct ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 7:01 am, August 18th, 2026
Bishop says that he can't pause fast-track developments because of the law. Is he 'avin a laff?

Thanks-that really is a wonderful article KJT, especially: "...there is one type of rare, gargantuan, towering lie that makes all the other mass lies throughout human history seem like frightened, scurrying, little adorable fibs....the monstrous, misshapen ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:32 am, August 17th, 2026
The chaos around the CoC's ill-conceived, expensive and rushed local government reform continues.

Today's Talbot Mills poll: Lab 34.0 Gre 8.0 TPM 3.0 =45.0 Nat 29.0 NZF 13.0 ACT 7.0=49.0 Opp 5.2 Shows Opp just able to decide who forms a government.,,,but 0.3 less and Opp would be a wasted vote.

Yep bWag I just heard on RadioNZ that 35% of people in NZ have private health insurance and that this is lower than most western nations. It sounds incredibly high to me and does much to explain the crap treatment the less well-off and poor are condemned ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 7:45 am, August 15th, 2026
I agree totally with Idiot/Savant about not voting for Opp: Opp leader Qiulae Wong says Opp will go with "anyone". and if you're on the left and want to see the regime toppled, its policies repealed, and the earth salted, that is absolutely an issue. Why ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 4:18 pm, August 14th, 2026
Canterbury mayors want fast-tracking dumped. At last it is dawning on people that slamming subdivisions in with no public input and ignoring District Plans and Spatial Plans is a disaster.

....and I've just heard that Luxon has said at the big South Island Election Conference in CHCH today that DC's must come to NZ with plans for new energy.

"New Zealand has 63 data centres, five of which are owned by Datacom."\ Yes but as I said the other day those 63 DC's use 140 MW. The two new ones proposed in Southland (this consented already) and Taranaki will use 530 MW and that may be expanded later; ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:52 am, August 14th, 2026
The problem with the Curia poll was the 7.2% other. This "other" vote is usually 1-2% and represents fringe groups like hunting and fishing and anti-vax. It is never 7%. It was 3% in the Verian poll and that is high. So where had Farrar taken the 4-5% from ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 1:22 pm, August 13th, 2026

Yes it is all on for men and boys Weka. Still too close to call. But I'm not sure that rolling average from the Overhang is picking up the National Party chaos, the rise of Opp and the fall of NZF.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 7:18 am, August 13th, 2026
I think the Verian Poll out last night bears repeating: Lab 30 Gre 12 Opp 8 TPM 1=51 Nat 29 ACT 9 NZF 8 =46 The poll is notable for the fact that Lab/Gre/Opp have 50 between them. Assuming Opp goes with Labour, this is enough to form a stable government. ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 7:03 pm, August 12th, 2026

Verian Poll just out: Lab 30 Gre 12 Opp 8 TPM=51 Nat 29 ACT 9 NZF 8=46 The Lab/Gre/Opp have 50 between them (assuming Opp go with the larger party Labour). This is enough to form a government. The racist party is still falling.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:25 pm, August 11th, 2026
