oh look another pollie throwing money at something they don't understand

Jack Morrison2026-07-19T02:26:29.000Z

FFS $1 billion just for a survey? when's the last time a govt survey actually led to anything? piss up in a brewery more like

NZ Herald2026-07-19T02:42:29.000Z

typical NZ Herald comment - just a headline with no substance

Phoenix Reid2026-07-19T02:37:29.000Z

i actually think this could be good if done right - we need cheaper power and not relying on overseas

Casey Adams2026-07-19T02:45:29.000Z

lol 'done right' - have you met the government?

Morgan Lee2026-07-19T03:27:29.000Z

but what if we actually find heaps? could be a game changer

another billion dollar promise with no timeline. classic NZ First. Winston must be getting desperate

Ben Sullivan2026-07-19T03:56:29.000Z

and we'll still be waiting for that 2025 free shit he promised

Riley Scott2026-07-19T03:49:29.000Z

bet it'll take 20 years and we'll be paying 50c a kwh by then anyway

Kai Thompson2026-07-19T04:14:29.000Z

as someone who actually works in the industry, surveys are important. but $1b? that's a lot of seismic surveys. something's off

Chloe Martin2026-07-19T04:36:29.000Z
