However, the debate is not really about balance sheet separation – at least not as the term is generally understood. Normal meaning of balance sheet separationLet’s start with the normal meaning of ‘balance sheet separation’. The government of NZ owns Transpower, but its balance sheet is separate from the government’s balance sheet. It turns out ‘balance sheet separation’ is a code for a more difficult question: “What kind of credit support should local councils or the national government offer to local-government-owned water utilities?”When WaterCare’s chief executive says, ‘We need balance sheet separation’ [2], he doesn’t mean that literally: WaterCare’s balance sheet is already separate from the Auckland council’s. Balance sheet separation means the water utility’s balance sheet is separate from the balance sheet of its owner.

Video / DRIVENThe new Government is sitting on a potentially damning review of its decision to get rid of subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs), despite saying yesterday it would be released. Brown said on Tuesday he was aware of a draft RIS and it was his expectation it would be released. “There was a draft RIS, there was not a finalised RIS following Cabinet decisions,” Brown said. On Tuesday, when asked about the RIS on the clean car policy, Brown said: “I believe one has been drafted”.

When we cranked up in January the prices being paid by livestock processors had taken a chronic downward slide. To a degree this is normal, but this season the drop was more marked than seen for some time. By that time there had been a $2.65 kg drop since the giddy heights of October. Speaking of which, back in May we were forecasting El Nino and by the end of July saying it was imminent. The El Nino dry has been delayed and on farm productivity should not be taking the hit predicted earlier.

Tomorrow she will attempt to take the eight-hour individual women’s strong wool lamb shearing world record title. At the same time, she and cousin Hannah McCull will attempt to break the eight-hour women’s two-stand strong wool lamb shearing world record.

The record attempt will take place at brothers Robert and Cameron Grant’s woolshed.

Upset with the events transpiring in Gaza, Usman Khawaja was planning to display a show of solidarity on field in the 1st PAK vs AUS TestAustralia skipper Pat Cummins assured that opener Usman Khawaja won’t be displaying a pro-Palestine message during AUS vs PAK 1st Test. The captain’s remarks comes after Cricket Australia warned Khawaja to stop in his tracks, noting that it was against the rules set by the ICC. Cummins, however, said that he did not find anything wrong with Khawaja’s ‘all lives matter’ remark and that he supported it. During one of the practice sessions too, he wore shoes, that read, ‘Freedom is a human right’ and ‘All lives are equal’. Meanwhile, Khawaja told the Sydney Morning Herald, that he would wear the shoes on the first day of play as well.

But that is Shane Jones. Shane Jones used his Address in Reply speech in Parliament to launch an attack on policies enacted by previous Governments to address climate change. “We are not going to meet the 2030 dreamy fairytale aspirational figures that will be freeing ourselves of fossil fuels as generating energy,” Minister Jones said. “We’re going to bring rigour and commonsense to the hysteria surrounding climate change,” he said. “There’ll be a fast track for mining, fast track for energy, that’s the thing coming in your direction,” said Jones.
