There’s an interesting article by a Chris Lee Ltd manager “Taking Stock – 12 November 2026” which describes the hoops companies have to go through to do business.

It’s about the gold miner Santana and lists the problem arising when a Maori tribe has an opportunity to interfere in the fast track evaluation process.

The tribe in question, Kai Tahu, has a track record of cashing in. They do not object if compensated. In this case the tribe’s lawyers contend that Santana has not consulted the tribe in accordance with its rights under the ToW. The remedy sought is not detailed. Santana says that it has consulted the tribe extensively.

Another topic I’d like to raise is the film The Godfather and its influence on cinematic art, amongst other things. But perhaps that deserves its own post.

Hosking, this morning, said he’d been disappointed in all the post-election moaning from the Left. The Left lost, he said, “they should accept it, take it, learn from it and move on!

He listed Helen Clark, any number of Greens, and Hipkins’ idiotic claims of gerrymandering, substantiating his claim that “NOT ONE OF THEM KNEW HOW TO BE GRACIOUS.”

I recalled Hillary Clinton’s immature petulance at the moment Trump had beaten her to win his first presidency. In an appalling display of far-less-than-adult conduct, she vented her rage by hurling a champagne bottle and smashing a 10 metre-wide TV screen.

As has been displayed so many times to date, the Left’s elemental problem is its amalgam of economic/fiscal illiteracy – coupled to the bizarre factor of human immaturity constantly personified by those whose rampant personal ambitions far exceed their ability to stay in control of their emotions.
