Another swing and a miss. Contact Energy wanted to build a wind farm in Southland. They have been turned down. They are not the first and they will not be the last. Close to $300 million and hundreds of jobs are now not happening because of it. Also, the need to build 15GW of additional capacity in the next 25 years will not be happening either. So far, we have built less than 3GW. We are entering yet another winter where it is touch and go on power supply. The Minister has been busy wagging his finger at the gentailers. The climate campaigners bark on about the role of renewables, yet we continue to import record amounts of coal to cover the gap. We have cut a deal to keep Huntly going ever longer because the renewable dream is getting further and further away. Renewables may or may not be the answer to our problems at all. The simple truth about water, sun, and wind is they are beyond our control. Coal and nuclear isn't. But we seem to insist renewables are what we want to do, and yet we don't. Nimbyism will kill us. We seem happy to be shocked every year at the coal pile and we seem to be happy to be unhappy at the idea we don't have enough power to get us through a winter. The industry tells us they are investing in wind and solar. But are they? How many get turned down vs how many actually get the go ahead? Are we actually progressing, or taking a step forward and a step back? Here is the ultimate irony: there's been a lot said about this Government's fast track law. Their fast track law is actually just an extension, or an amendment, of the old fast track law, which Labour produced during Covid. Under that fast track law this wind project got turned down. So, is a “no” fast tracking? Or no tracking? If you can't get a wind farm through under fast track, are we actually into solving issues or not? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a good six months for the Port of Auckland. It's doubled its half-year profit and will deliver a 20% increase in its dividend to Auckland Council. Car and structure steel imports are down, but bulk cargo levels are rising. Chief Executive Roger Gray told Mike Hosking that's partly due to one-off events, like Genesis rebuilding the coal stockpile for its Huntly power station. He says their operational performance is also increasing, which is attracting more customers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Genesis Energy says it's doing what it can to ensure Huntly Power Station helps the country avoid another generation shortfall this winter. More than 500,000 tonnes of coal was restocked earlier this month, with another 500,000 tonnes on the way before September, in anticipation of demand. Genesis Chief Executive Malcolm Johns told Andrew Dickens Huntly's units ran at full capacity last winter, working their way through 800,000 tonnes of coal. He says a million tonnes is about appropriate for what he believes can be put through the machines. Johns says this kind of preparation will still be needed in the future, even with 95% renewable generation in New Zealand in 2035. He says 100% renewable can't genuinely be reached, and back up is needed for when the rain doesn't come and the wind doesn't blow. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week another police officer was struck by a vehicle, this time in Huntly. The officer suffered moderate injuries. It comes after the horrible New Year's Day incident in which Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming was killed and another officer injured after being struck by a vehicle in Nelson. Police Minister Mark Mitchell said on the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning, Police and first responders are increasingly dealing with violence. Not just here in New Zealand, but globally as well. It's good to hear Mitchell, alongside Paul Goldsmith, is planning to bring new legislation into the house in the first quarter of this year to bring in tougher sentencing for violent behaviour towards first responders and prison officers. It would have been better if it had been included in Goldsmith's sentencing reforms, which had its first reading in Parliament last September. Those reforms too are to ensure criminals face tougher consequences and victims are prioritised. This new legislation aimed at offenders towards first responders will not just impose tougher sentences, but also clearly define emergency service workers, and require sentencing to be cumulative rather than concurrent. It's aimed at being a preventative measure, but something tells me offenders will get the message through experience rather than media headlines. We owe our first responders as much support as possible. They go to work and deal with a level of risk the rest of us don't have to confront. These laws show we as New Zealanders appreciate their work and are prepared to do what we can to protect them. I hope the work to clarify who is a first responder - generally thought of as police, paramedics, and the fire service - is extended to hospital emergency staff, and possibly even other health workers. The need for this legislation, this growing anger and agitation experienced by many in public facing jobs - especially those in retail - makes you wonder what has happened to us as a wider community. You rarely go into a shop without signs telling you kindness is appreciated, or that they will not tolerate abusive behaviour. Is this a post-Covid thing? Have we just got more angry with the world? Is it a need to be seen and heard? We seem to have forgotten that the consequence of anger is often more damaging than what made us angry in the first place/ Hopefully the least these tougher laws will achieve, is help bring that back into perspective.

The Police Minister says recent incidents where vehicles have been driven into officers are part of a rise of anti-Police violence. An officer has moderate injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Huntly on Wednesday night. It comes weeks after Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming was killed, and another officer was injured after being struck by a vehicle in Nelson on New Year's Day. Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking these kinds of incidents are happening more often around the world, including here in New Zealand. He says overall, the type of violent offending Police and first responders are having to deal with has been growing over the years. The Government is promising tougher sentences, Mitchell saying he'll be introducing a bill to address these types of incidents by the end of next month. He says the bill will introduce tougher sentences, require cumulative rather than concurrent sentences, and clearly define emergency service workers.

Elevated levels of arsenic have been detected in the Waikato River, affecting water supplies in Auckland and Waikato. The Government has been briefed this evening and sought assurances that water supplies are safe. Authorities are carrying out further testing with results due back tomorrow. Watercare is also rejigging the way it processes water to reduce the amount of arsenic in the city's water supply but said there was no immediate concern to public health. Steve Taylor, head of operations at Water Services Authority (WSA), told Newstalk ZB there had been increased levels of arsenic recorded in the Waikato River, affecting water supplies in Auckland and Hamilton. He said there was “naturally a level of arsenic” in the river, but it had been notified levels had increased recently. “I'm not sure what the reason for that increase is and that is affecting water supplies in Auckland and Hamilton,” he said. He explained the maximum acceptable value for arsenic is 0.01mg a litre – an “incredibly low amount” – but they had seen levels around 0.013mg, which is “marginally above the acceptable value for drinking water”. “The level of arsenic is above what we've described as a maximum acceptable value, but it's not at a level that we would suggest has a significant health effect. “There's no health risk in drinking that water,” Taylor said. “What we would expect is that those levels of arsenic would reduce over time.” Elevated readings of arsenic have been recorded in the Waikato River. Photo / Waikato District Council. Taylor said it is safe for people to keep drinking tap water. “The key thing about the maximum acceptable value for arsenic is it's designed for long-term exposure, so it's not an acute level. ”Unlike some other levels, you know, if you exceed that level, it has an immediate health effect – that's not the case with these levels.” Taylor said the WSA was only notified of the elevated levels on Wednesday and it had been “a very short-term situation”. ”We've contacted the [Waikato] regional council to try and understand what is the reason for this change in source water,” he said. Local Government Minister Simeon Brown has been briefed on the issue this evening. Photo / Mark Mitchell Local Government Minister Simeon Brown said he had been briefed on the issue by the WSA this evening. “I have asked the WSA to ensure that water suppliers in Auckland and Hamilton are taking appropriate steps, and that they communicate with their customers,” Brown said. “The WSA is the lead agency for this issue and will be providing regular updates.” Watercare reduces production at Waikato Water Treatment Plant The Herald repeatedly sought comment from Watercare this afternoon and it responded shortly before 8pm, saying it had reduced production at its Waikato Water Treatment Plant since detecting the elevated result. Watercare CEO Mark Bourne said the Waikato River supplies about 20% of Auckland's drinking water. ”We treat the water at our Waikato Water Treatment Plant in Tūākau and distribute it throughout the metropolitan network. ”In most parts of Auckland, treated water from the Waikato River is blended with treated water from our dams. However, Pukekohe, Buckland, Clarks Beach/Waiau Pā, Patumahoe, Glenbrook Beach, and Drury south receive water solely sourced from the Waikato River.” Bourne said Watercare had increased production at its major Ardmore plant, which treats water from four dams in the Hūnua Ranges. “This extends the processing time at the plant, and we expect it to improve our ability to reduce the level of arsenic in the treated drinking water. “We're working closely with other agencies and will continue to share information as we learn more.” The current minor exceedance of the standards does not present any immediate concern for public health, Watercare said. A Waikato District Council spokesperson said Watercare operates the local water networks in the area under contract. “Pōkeno and Tūākau are supplied by Watercare's Waikato Water Treatment Plant. There are also treatment plants that serve the townships of Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Meremere, Taupiri and Ngāruawāhia.” The spokesperson said samples from these plants were being tested, with results due tomorrow. Hamilton City Council's water supply remained safe for drinking, bathing, cleaning and cooking, following test results that showed small increases in the level of arsenic present. What is arsenic? The Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora website describes arsenic as a substance found in rock, which in some situations “harms your health”. It commonly enters the body in food and water and people can swallow small amounts every day for a long time without any obvious health effects. But swallowing larger amounts may cause long-term health effects, arsenic poisoning or death. Someone with arsenic poisoning may suffer from: Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Extreme tiredness and bruising. An abnormal heartbeat. A “pins and needles” feeling in the hands and feet. Arsenic can not be removed from water by boiling it.
