Lushington D. Brady: Air NZ Admits It Was All Bullsh*t

Corporate wokesters admit that their “climate action” is virtue-signalling bullsh*t.

The thing about corporate pandering to the Climate Cult is that, sooner or later, harsh reality slaps even the most determinedly virtue-signalling CEO in the face. The alternative is going broke quicker. That’s because ‘climate action’ is as ruinously expensive as it is useless.

Only last week, even Twiggy Forrest gave up pretending that his ‘green hydrogen’ hyperbole was just that.

Point of Order: Government wants to make the Fuels Sector more resilient

Having done nothing as the oil majors closed down the Marsden Point refinery, the Ardern government is now belatedly moving into the market to ensure what it calls “supply resilience”.

Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods says she wants “to strengthen NZ’s fuel sector” through a suite of initiatives to encourage more competition.

She doesn’t say why suddenly there should be a need for more competition, but implicitly there is criticism of the big petroleum companies for their high prices – as if government taxation wasn’t taking more out of motorists’ wallets than the actual cost of the petrol.
