NZ Govt took a huge bet on fossil fuels. NZ was spending $8 billion/yr importing fossil fuels, and now the global fuel crisis is going to make it worse. Betting on fossil fuels turned out to be a losing bet for NZ. This is the 15 point policy record of 2 years of the NZ Govt: 1. Removed the Clean Car Discount, which supported sales of EVs and low emissions vehicles and disincentivized sales of high fuel consumption vehicles. This removal resulted in a collapse of EV sales.

The SkyCity Convention Centre fire led me to re-read the Auditor Generals damning report of the process that Key, Joyce and Brownlee followed to give the Convention Centre deal to Skycity in 2011. After the Govt asked for expressions of interest to build the Convention Centre, officials ranked the five bids they received based on the published criteria. The AG found the officials ranked the Skycity bid last (para 5.29) in June 2010.
