It was a great day and one we were all very proud of.

I have been a proponent of the use of wind technology for over thirty years now. However the Meridian Energy corporate structure is evil. I am sad to the Maori blessing and welcoming Fascism to our shores. It is particularly sad because it is Maori communities that have been most damaged by the New Zealand Electricity Industry Reforms.

Well that's your opinion, the Maoritanga added a distinct feeling of something "deeper" to the event and connected to the place we were in, hard to explain, but which often lacks at corporate openings. By the way, Key knew all the songs off by heart.

Interesting video.

Apart from the kowtowing to all those savages. I suppose they've got their hands out for some taxpayers money at the end of the ceremony.

I don't know why you New Zealanders just give into those native abbos. They should be kept behind the barriers with the rest of the riff-raff.

@farquarofwestminster Are you for real? Honestly is this a joke? I hope so.
