What do you mean, My little cabbage, I am English??
I have to admit google provided my phrase, so I hope it's accurate.
Genesis has predictably made good profit in the last 6 months. (Your power bill has accordingly been reduced).

National has decided to increase the minimum wage. By 25c, to $13.75. Woop de doo. It's small enough that hardly any employers will need to bother doing anything.
But National will now be able to say that "we have increased the minimum wage".

Never occurred to EZ that those on the minimum wage are using it as a stepping stone, experience then switch, or are not after a brain surgeon wages but a bit of part time pin money or are handicapped in some way and in some sort of care....

Just agreeing with your Google provided phrase..
You have the word Yes missing from your Google translation.

Thank goodness the govt will be able to go ahead and sell off part of the assets previous generations worked hard for (MRP), to secure cheap power for the country in later years. They need the money so desperately (of course they could simply print it instead).
But not before National had to restate their position on water rights. So it's a small win for common sense and respect for the Treaty.

Not sure what you mean there PTC. From what little I think I know, 50% of the special trout fishing licence for Taupo is paid to the local tribe. They also have to be consulted on anything affecting the lake and lake bed, for example the golf-ball promo area near the main street pays the tribe members to collect golf balls hit into the lake. The effect of all this is that anything impacting on the pristine state of Lake Taupo has been under control. It remains one of the cleanest, clearest water bodies in the world. And that alone feeds tourism. You can still find old untouched areas of Taupo if you look, and that suits me fine.
