power prices

Harry from Waikanae

Tv one news on Thursday night stated that three energy companies had Excessive profits
Meridian had a 55% profit Mercury had a profit of 42% and Genesis had a profit of 569 % or 1.3 billion dollars between the three of them.
This is atrocious. Have they no social responsibility during the time all of new zealand is going through extremely tough times.

We should all blacklist them and also put pressure on the government ( Jacinda Ardern and Megan Woods) to massively reduce their profits.

Particularly as the government is a majority shareholder in meridian.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
