@mariner4life I love the anti mining brigade.
Basically if it isn’t wood or from a carcass of an animal, it’s come from a mine or a quarry.
Give up your phones, your tvs and nearly everything you own all you anti mining tools.
Even our soft as shite govt has backtracked on mining

I’m not a hundy sure of the exact fact but gold in NZ is three times more enriched than Aussie and other large gold producers.
So that means you only need a third of the displacement to get the same amount.
The more we displace oil and gas the more we need to mine.

Netball loses $15mill
I was discussing this yesterday with a mate and he summed it up beautifully: This wasn't sponsorship, it was an act of charity. Gina would have got absolutely nothing out of this given no one watches the sport.
I blame the sports administrators for not pulling these players into the office and telling them that they'll either STFU or find another job.

The political spokesperson endorsing the net ballers position is independent senator David Pocock. Would be interested to see what companies logos he wore while he was playing
He's another hypocritical moron. Made millions from the benefits of fossil fuels and mining.
I bet he never once gave a thought to how he managed to fly to a stadium, play under lights wearing a kit, mouthguard and headgear, televised to an audience without fossil fuels and mining.

@antipodean wasn’t he playing for the Force when Twiggy Forrest was secretly bankrolling it?

The irony is strong in this one. It clearly wasn't enough money.
David Pocock set to switch allegiance from Western Force and sign with Brumbies this weekend
"For the past six months, RugbyWA has done everything within its power to retain his services as a leading player within the Western Force. "David's concerns were principally around the club's inability to recruit high-profile players with this challenge highlighted by the recent opportunity presented to (Wallabies and Reds halfback) Will Genia which ultimately was unsuccessful in bringing him to WA.''

David Pocock is a muppet of the highest order.
This guy took a sabbatical on full pay, played overseas for more coin, travelled, then came back and abruptly retired.
He has now developed a conscience that apparently means no junior athletes should be developed unless they're sponsored by the fantasy that is green hydrogen.
He can fuck right off

I won't have you two traducing the BBC Green Athlete of the Year. Show some respect.

That's a new word I can introduce at inappropriate moments. Thanks!

There are four main sources for the commercial production of hydrogen: natural gas, oil, coal, and electrolysis; which account for 48%, 30%, 18% and 4% of the world's hydrogen production respectively. Fossil fuels are the dominant source of industrial hydrogen.
The only viable "no fossil fuel" hydrogen production method would be via the electrolysis of water via a nuclear power station.
You could say hydro or geothermal but good luck finding enough of that to power all the cars in the world.
Regardless it would still be significantly more efficient to just pump the power into the grid than electrolyze water in the first place.
But my apologies, I'm using facts and science to interfere with someone's virtue signaling, some new breakthrough technology will come in a few short years I'm sure, just like we were promised it would in the 90's...

You could also say that hydrogen is only going to be certain cases, and batteries will take care of the rest, as far as road transport goes.
Back to the topic at hand: is $15M that big a deal? It is the kind of money Rinehart wouldn't bother to pick up if she dropped it in the street, figuratively speaking.
If I win Powerball's $160M Thursday night I can flick them a lazy $15M and get "NTA Rules" on the uniforms, right?
