Still waiting on a response to this New Zealand Police NZP Media your response at Waitangi was simply dreadful. Let me paraphrase (to someone who can’t walk properly) “go over there to get on a bus”

Great evening to be at the cricket. Let’s all say it “you can’t beat Wellington on ….”😊 Go the BLACKCAPS they’re off to a cracking start!

Natural gas is needed to keep the lights on and energy affordable while we scale up renewables. But to allow gas to play this role we need urgent action to allow our declining gas fields to be replenished and replaced. Urgency is needed Shane Jones

Totally enjoyed facilitating this awesome panel of Justine Gilliland BlueFloat Energy Nigel Barbour @orionnz Andrew Harvey-Green Forsyth Barr and Laura Harris @ Mafic Partners. Thanks for the great discussion about the massive investment the NZ energy sector needs @IResources

Having a great time at WOMAD NZ, thanks for your hospitality OMV Group. Feeling the good Energy here in the beautiful Taranaki #MusicFestival #GoodEnergy

Alarm bells are already ringing in the sector this year around the absence of available natural gas - there are some significant unmet demand and electricity security risks that we will simply need gas to fill in the coming decades. #energysovereignty

Straight down to the business of governance at World Energy Council as we head into World Energy Congress 2026 Rotterdam Ahoy #humanisingenergy #energytrilemma #energytransition

Thank you PwC! The best coffee (and snacks) at World Energy Congress 2026 #snackifyingenergy

Kudos to Nature for publishing this "I am concerned by climate scientists becoming climate activists, because scholars shouldn't have a priori interests in the outcome of their studies. Likewise, I am worried about activists who pretend to be scientists" nature.com/articles/s4416…

Valuable lessons here for New Zealand from how the Net Zero Technology Centre has been established, its mandate & work programme. Critically it allows for x-sector collaboration. Judith Collins Shane Jones MP Simeon Brown GNS Science Te Pū Ao #energytrilemma #lowcarbontechology #collaboration

First came coal, followed by gas. A personal observation

It’s known NZ doesn’t have its #trilemma balance right, but our new Govt is facing this head on, opting for a back to basics approach on #affordability & #energy security, looking to revitalise the gas sector by encouraging investment as a key element of this #NZopenforbusiness

“New Zealand faces an energy shortage which threatens our electricity system and the competitiveness of our exporters. We now urgently need to attract further investment in exploration and production to keep the lights on, our houses warm and business humming”

Time for NZ politicians to #buildbridges in the best interests of all NZers - and bring back bipartisanship on energy policy. Enough closures, job losses and missed investment Shane Jones Simeon Brown Simon Court Megan Woods Chris Hipkins #unjusttransition #energysecurity

Our energy shortages result from policy failures. All political parties should negotiate in good faith to restore the confidence to invest in all forms of energy #crosspartyconsensus #energysecurity #investmentconfidence #justtransition

There’s no room for bottom lines in consensus building. It takes understanding, openness & a willingness to collaborate and compromise around a set of key guardrails. This will still allow for distinct policy settings. Are our politicians up to it? Christopher Luxon Chris Hipkins

Honoured to have been confirmed by my energy peers from across the globe to hold their trust to provide strong governance and financial stewardship for the World Energy Council as it reaches into its second century of global energy leadership and insight #humanisingenergy #governance

New Zealand has excelled in geothermal for decades, and it's exciting to see us joining the U.S. and Iceland in advancing supercritical technology (SCGT). Great work GNS Science Te Pū Ao

Another practical, user-led tour de force from the Wellington City Council planning dept. Bus stop seats at one of Wgtn most popular bus stops on Lambton Quay a metre outside of the veranda cover - exposed to the rain. So as useless as the proverbials in bad weather
