Removing limited resources, returning 2-5% royalties, and paying no tax.
Then we get lugged with clean up costs (like Tui oilfields that cost $500m for taxpayers to clean up)

Is underpaying the Mariners on the Vega a form of modern slavery? Currently the former Interislander is in Tasman bay (Nelson) awaiting permission to sail to India to be wrecked. Both India and New Zealand have yet to approve her final voyage. More to come on #RNZ

It was retired in August and sold for scrap in October, yet its currently sitting in Nelson Harbour.

EVERYONE needs to read Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social “They Knew” right now. She has been writing about & tying together loose ends about this “president”, our government & ties to foreign interests for well over a decade now. If you don’t know of her work, I cannot recommend it enough.

I've just put up today's episode of 'the monkey and the queen' on my Substack. The protagonist muses on othering non human creatures. Possibly as he's being slowly consumed by an alien entity. A 5 to 7 minute read. Next episode on Wednesday. #scifi #writer #romance
