"As for SNG the obvious long term challenge will be building a processing plant , this could take many years and dilution will be an issue for holders." Totally agree.

Not to overlook the primary concern. The extent and concentration of pollutants in New Zealand's waterways are not just a problem, they are a crisis. They are from human activities and significantly exceed natural levels, harming aquatic ecosystems. Nutrients, sediments, pathogens, heavy metals, and chemicals from agriculture, urban development, and industrial activities are the main culprits, and they require urgent and targeted management strategies."

Seabed mining, due to environmental and cultural concerns. Māori opposition is often rooted under the guise of protecting natural resources and cultural heritage, the moon and Matariki. The environmental impacts of seabed mining can be significant, and indigenous groups typically in the past have not advocated for sustainable and respectful management of these resources unless there is a financial outcome for them. Much like our river systems and seabeds. TVNZ had to stop filming coast watch as most of the people being caught on were Māori for exceeding the daily limit and undersize. Shame on them. The NZ Māori movement is dangerous and has held the country back for years. And they are mobilizing. Don't they own the fresh air and the rain that falls from the sky? What about the Moriori? Thats another story. which is all coming to light now.

Jacinda Ardern's resignation highlights the personal and political failures of her leadership are enormous. Her husband Clark was (perhaps) lol, busted for supplying meth and being involved with the Comancheros; her tenure was marked by numerous personal lying challenges that she struggled to address effectively, leading to significant criticism. Hell-on Clark was no better. Many view their departure as an attempt to escape the growing dissatisfaction with her administration. Her legacy is marred by unfulfilled promises and policies that, have left the country worse off. Evaluating her time in office reveals more shortcomings and controversies than achievements, painting a picture of a leader who ultimately could not meet the demands of her role, But enjoyed the odd DJ set in Auckland while having a chemtrail with Clark. The damage done.
