  1. "It's not that I think nuclear power is 100% safe, I won't tell you that. But ... the risks of nuclear power are less than the risks of continuing to burn fossil fuels, in my opinion. Now a lot depends here on how much of your energy mix you think you can get from renewables, which are very good at the current margin, but you don't want to become over-reliant on them."

  5. "I think [the government are] putting the money into the wrong areas. When you've got money that's taken off people that could be in their first home, and giving it to people that own multiple homes, there's a bit of an issue."

  6. "... they gave us a brand new 4 bedroom home to live in for free."

    Supplying housing to professionals who move to take up positions is common in Oz. Why do we not do this here? Owning and managing houses, if done well, is cheaper than paying enough in salaries for rents or mortgage payments. Especially at times when these are ballooning.

  7. One of the most successful parts of the Powell strategy has been the reframing of "liberty". From it's original meaning; freedom from tyranny, to the freedom to be a tyrant (eg ZuckerBorg, Bezos, Thiel, Musk etc). Buying into this framing...

    "Limitarianism v Libertarianism"

    ... implies we can only have economic justice at the cost of political freedom (a la China). I call bollox on this.

  8. CW: NZPol / Tova

    There's no doubt a lot of folks that don't like Tova O'Brien, possibly for a variety of reasons.

    I get fairly frustrated by everyone that plays in the mainstream media's game & how it portrays politics, so there's certainly stories she's covered & angles taken I didn't like.

    Anywho, this "opinion"* piece is good, and probably won't win her many friends. But it needs saying so credit where its due.

    *Actually almost entirely factual.
