Speculation has mounted that Luxon may be considering his future and about to resign. The speculation was fuelled when National staff were invited to Friday drinks in the Beehive. The Herald understands these drinks are normal, although the invite appears to have gone wider.

This would be a perfect time to dump the LNG Terminal and all RoNS projects. In their place: Solar, Wind, Battery, Geothermal, and SOME ACTUAL FREQUENT INTER CITY RAIL SERVICES!

The system often forces people with mental health challenges to "prove" they meet imperfect "diagnostic requirements" just to earn a label to access care.
Imagine having to "prove" you were gay to access sexual health services.

If you are talking about increasing the cost of electricity, and not investing in distributed, resilient solar and battery capacity, nor electrification of transport in multi modes, you don’t understand the problem and should not be anywhere near power (pun absofuckinglutely intended)
Put solar panels on state houses. You could probably do the lot for $1.5b, would reduce energy costs for those least able to afford it, increase our grid resilience and save about the same amount in energy costs overall.
