Another closing of the tabs:
- "This is troubling because the government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidy money to improve a recycling rate it can’t even measure."
- Pattrick Smellie on state of play in NZ craft brewing.
- I've a column on infrastructure funding and financing in the Local Government Business Forum newsletter.
- Michael Reddell on inflation forecasts and RBNZ monetary policy.
- More grid-scale solar coming in - Genesis to have 500 MW of new solar by 2026.
- A follow-up on Tamaki redevelopment. It's a neat one. Started under National, completed under Labour, seemed to work...
- Ugh. If Semour here means that dairies would have an easy time getting a liquor licence, rather than even more restrictions on where vapes could be sold, that would be ok. But I don't think he means that.
- On the plus side, on-farm sequestration that stacks up will be included in the ETS. On the downside, another two-year delay on emission pricing for ag methane.
- On the plus side, National would have better targeting of prescription drug subsidies. On the downside, they'd also have more political direction of which drugs get funded - a list of cancer drugs.
- ACT supports a Carbon Tax Refund - basically a carbon dividend.
- Scott Wilson with some history of NZ's land transport funding system. A really excellent post, the first of a promised series.
