Thanks Jacinda, I know your govt dont own the refinery, but you could have taken steps to have either bought it and/or gave them relief to keep running much like Tiwai point.
Your forefathers in labour sold the refinery for pennies back in the 80s after a significant investment was made by the taxpayer, now this is what we are left with.
Unfortunately the crazy ideologies you and your mates in the greens have is that this evil refinery has to go as its a detriment to the planet, you were celebrating it.
All you care about is UN agendas and environmental policies that have no solid basis and not give a rats arse about the increased cost of living.
Now we are left with the situation with having to buy imported bitumen for our roads that is of substandard quality, and increased cost due to shipping.
Anyone who has half a brain would know that bitumen has to be transported hot or else it solidifies, its a very difficult and expensive thing to freight.
We are also left with a CO2 shortage affecting the food industry, oh the irony that we actually need CO2!
Just wait for this to hit the pockets of everyday kiwis.
I bet Chl├Âe Swarbrick didnt even see any of this coming, these are the clowns that we want running this country?
You think CO2 is that evil, how about you build the infrastructure to extract the stuff out of the air! But whos gonna pay for that? Where is all this carbon tax going? You have had plenty of time to have got this shit sorted.

Julian Assange to be deported to USA |

Not without a fight obviously. But it does take attention away from Boris Johnson's unpopularity at present.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59608641
[b]"Wikileaks founder Julian Assange can be extradited from the UK to the US, the High Court has ruled.[/b]
The US won its appeal against a January UK court ruling that he could not be extradited due to concerns over his mental health.
Judges were reassured by US promises to reduce the risk of suicide. His fiancee said they intended to appeal.
Mr Assange is wanted in the US over the publication of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011.
Senior judges found the lower judge had based her decision in January on the risk of Mr Assange being held in highly restrictive prison conditions if extradited.
Mr Assange's fiancee Stella Moris called the ruling "dangerous and misguided", adding that the US assurances were "inherently unreliable".
In an emotional statement outside the court, Ms Moris said: "For the past... two years and a half, Julian has remained in Belmarsh prison, and in fact he has been detained since 7 December 2010 in one form or another, 11 years. For how long can this go on?"
Wikileaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson said in a statement: "Julian's life is once more under grave threat, and so is the right of journalists to publish material that governments and corporations find inconvenient.
"This is about the right of a free press to publish without being threatened by a bullying superpower."
Amnesty International described the ruling as a "travesty of justice" and the US assurances as "deeply flawed".

Windows digital license |

Have got a dusty Athlon 64 system lying around, boots into Win 10 in a few seconds off an SSD, great for playing GTA IV. Perfectly capable machine, but surplus to requirements these days.
It's got a digital license, so that's tied to the mobo, CPU and RAM, I'm guessing?
If I remove the SSD, and hand off the machine to someone that wants it, and they put in their own SSD and use a media creation USB/ISO thingamy to install Windows, does the digital license kick in? i.e. does the license only care about the hardware and couldn't give one jot about the user?
