I did some quick maths, and 1.1 billion litres a year is 0.002% of the water in Lake Taupo at any one time. (There's 59km3 of water in Lake Taupo). Suffice to say, this is still a lot of bottled water heading over to China in plastic bottles by sea freight (About 100 mtr cubed per year). Has to be one of our lowest value exports by weight. It makes you think - humankind devouring resources like this, importing reasonably clean water because they're short of it somewhere else. Are we a plague on the planet?
EZ, your post is exactly the reasoning National gave last term and the Greens fought against as an election policy. I don´t have a problem with this being granted but I do have a problem with the total hypocracy.
And then we get this from the guy that was involved at Board level to take Sealords into Argentina where they lost somewhere between $30-40 million. What a fool https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12070053

Probably because he doesn´t know the rules.
Watch Question Time on TV and count how many MPs and Ministers are absent minded gazing at their phones. Not just one playing solitaire.

Good to see government setting off the wage inflation spiral by ensuring all government workers get at least the Living Wage.

Man from ASB ..."The government pays better than anyone else, anyway. In many ways what they are trying to do is suggest other people should have the sort of money the government has to spend."
EZ will say this is good news

Taxpayers Union have a view on this living wage ‘initiative’
It is morally questionable to require taxpayers, many of whom don’t earn the living wage, to pay above market wages for government workers.
