NZ must still import most of theirs eh?

Yes, New Zealand imports the vast majority of it's crude oil. :shock:


Why the Kiwi "she'll be right" attitude?

The stark conclusion has to be drawn that New Zealand is almost totally dependent on imported oil, and that we will become even more dependent as domestic production rapidly declines. Even if new oil fields were discovered off shore of New Zealand, it takes between 10 - 15 years to bring any such oil into production.

The kiwi "she'll be right" attitude pervades our response to our precarious oil security situation. Yet the reality is that we are in a far worse position than other oil importers. The government commissioned Hale and Twomey Report sums it up like this -
"New Zealand has an unusual combination of supply vulnerabilities. It faces the same broad range of possible external supply disruptions as do all IEA members but these are exacerbated by such things as its current level of import dependency, remote geographical location at the furthest extent of the international supply chain and relative isolation from other countries from whom relief could be expected in some situations."​

I have lived in Australia before, sometimes working, at other times on the dole, but I don't wish to return to Australia to live because of new laws that I find unacceptable. One of the worst ones is the pushbike or bicycle helmet law for adults as well as children. That helmet law is in New Zealand also, ferociously enforced, and I do not wish to move to a country with an adult bicycle helmet law, where I get constantly harassed by police. Cycling is one of my main transport modes.

You're joking aren't you? Tell me you're joking, 'cause today I'll almost believe anything today!
You won't go to a country 'cause you have to wear a helmet to ride a bike?
Did I get that right?
You ARE joking……?

No I'm not joking. I'm dead serious! I do not want to go to a country with an adult bicycle helmet law to live. I would visit for a short time though.

Well - I hate to be the bearer of bad news BD but if you came to California to do a porn shoot in the LA area you'd be required to wear a condom! I know - this probably breaks your heart and I feel for you but that is our government at its best. :confused1:

…. and yet the govt doesn't wear one when it keeps sticking it up everyone's 'ass'.
How do you figure THAT?
Anyway, I don't have any problems with condoms. I just don't have sex! (or ride a bike)

I think if you combine the two - riding a bike without a helmet whilst having sex without a condom could make quite the statement. It would be fun but who would watch where you were going?

If the government wore condoms while sticking it up our arses it would cost them millions more in taxes per year. Therefore they must be saving us money. :tard:

If you wore a condom and a helmet at the same time would that be a double headed protector?

Well, THAT sucks…..
I've been having major problems with my living conditions here at my building, so instead of resolving my problems, the building owners have handed me a letter of reference to aid me in finding alternate accommodation.


What a total piss off!

I am totally in shock……….

Well come to the USA or Minnesota at least. No helmet laws here, heck you can even ride your motorcycle without a helmet. Helmets are only required for motorcycle riders under age 18. No one on a bicycle is required to wear a helmet at any age.

The NSA will probably spy on you but at least not through your helmet. :rabbit:

I am definitely looking for somewhere to go. I'm considering my options.
Most countries and states don't have adult bicycle helmet laws as shown on the map. Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia Canada and most of Washington State USA are the main ones with adult bicycle helmet laws shown in red on the world map.
Of course I would prefer not to live with any sort of helmet law; adult bicycle, child bicycle, or motorbike.

Well…. the speakers you can see either side of the doors, but the electronics, well….. I don't know.
…. but they must be there somewhere, and no doubt nothing cheap, if the guy can afford an F1 (??) racing car hangin' up on the freakin' wall. :happy6:
