The thing is subsidies for EVs seed the market. Those EVs eventually get sold on the used market benefitting everybody. #nzpol #ev 'No need to panic', fuel supplier says as average petrol price surges past $3 www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

I've spent a little time driving on Auckland motorways today and people are definitely driving more slowly, probably to try and save on petrol. Feeling pretty satisfied, driving in my EV #nz #fuelcrisis

Got my Covid booster for free, and got a free coffee too! #winning #covid #boosted

Planning on getting a booster this weekend. Checked my records and my last one was last May. Well overdue!

#NZpol From a few days ago: New modelling shows renewable electricity can meet NZ’s future demand – without importing gas - doubts the logic of “imposing a levy on electricity to fund an LNG terminal”, “because New Zealand also has a goal to achieve 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030,”

Maybe I'm not listening in the right places, but I have to say, where are the opposition parties in an election year? So much to criticise this awful coalition government about, but nothing seems to be happening. Ferries, economy, LNG terminal, climate change heads in the sand and more... #nzpol

You can literally see where this government increased our exposure to oil price shock There is no reason for this other than oil money funding politics #nzpol

Stuttin's my stuff! #photography #nature #blueskyartshow #birds

The experts agree, National's proposed liquefied natural gas terminal is a terrible idea. 👎

Absolutely.

Away on holiday recently, touring around the top of the South Island. During my trip, I had my drone out, and there were some Chinese tourists there too, with a NZ tour guide, and they were astounded by the drone and what it could "see". It made me reflect how privileged we are here in #nz

Just heard my first cicada in Auckland. About a month early, I reckon.

NZ, clean and green in name only, at least with this current government #nzpol

At my brother's place today. Never listened to so much radio, and because of Xmas day, so many Xmas songs! Even my mum got sick of them.

I was out for my afternoon bike ride, and saw a convoy of fire trucks and the broken bus being towed. It was certainly in a bad way, and stunk badly. It will be interesting to know whether it can be repaired. Definitely a battery fire. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Delicious homemade burger and fries for a Friday night!
