Female #kakapo are utterly focussed on their chicks. Stella came back to the nest while I was checking her very young chicks two nights ago. Apparently unconcerned by me being there, she jumped in and started brooding them in front of me. #conservation #parrots #birds #kakapo2026

Big solar and batteries lead march to the grid, but new plans for wind are piling up A flurry of new solar and battery projects has appeared in AEMO's grid management system, driving home just how popular the two technologies have been with investors. But in the EPBC queue, it's all about wind.

A quick trip home can be made doubly worthwhile. you can get a decent coffee, top quallity pie, see some friends and family, and then be able to vote to make the leadership better for people at home.

Oh, I know this one! We own Air New Zealand because its former private owners made a series of ghastly decisions and registered an operating loss of $1.45 *billion* in 2001 and the Clark govt stepped in, bought an 82% stake and renationalised it so we still had a national carrier.

this is good jornalism from Tom Hunt at The Post

I charge my phone outside of the bedroom and leave it on charge till I'm ready to start work, when I walk the dog I use an offline device to listen to audio books. A second device maybe a good idea for you.

Looks like they only have one train, I guess it's for people who live in the tron but work in Auckland. Shame they don't run a late one on Friday night.

How the hell is Angus Taylor still a thing? - The Shot Angus Taylor a walking Venn Diagram intersection of fossil fuel fervour and cash for the boys.

As it appears enough of the Liberals will sufficiently succumb to madness to endorse him as their next hapless leader, here's a piece I wrote way back in 2021 about the many and varied and still unexplained controversies that have swirled around Angus Taylor.

#YarraTrams would like to distance ourself from the electrical issues that affected the Metro Tunnel yesterday. Depot Cat doesn’t work for us, and any sabotage he has been contracted for by a third party is not our doing, regardless of how much we paid that middleman.

F'ing muppet, it's a one time sugar hit to the budget then more costs going fowards. only people it's good for is the people who buy it. yes the gvment may end up with assests that make money in the long run but that is a good thing.
