WISHFUL THINKING - BUT LITTLE ACTUAL INVESTIGATION OF IMPORTANT QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ECONOMY. Today was able to confirm the following when the ODT spoke of 200 people based in Port Chalmers for exploration drilling they unaware the bulk would be 1. Philliino/Indo crew who largely sent their pay home (so little money in bars). 2. That the crew work in rotation shift and are flow off the wells to the nearest international airport (which Dunedin does not have) 3. No one has done a feasibility study in the council (other than informal reading by individual staffers) other than Anadarko itself regarding what actual local jobs would be provided to the local economy in the event of actual drilling. 4. No one has done a feasibility study to work out what the cost would be to local fisheries, tourism, ect in the event of a spill. 5. No one has drafted a plan of how exactly any horizon style disaster would be combated - so in other word their are no contingency plan in place to deal with this and as we saw with Rena the government has not only proved ill equipped to deal with such events but via Maritime Services largely ran a PR campaign where no in depth study of the environmental impact of Rena have ever being done since while during maritime constantly changed the data of their won web page when ever faced with glaring inconsistency regarding the ships manifesto and cargo placement. 6. To add all of this we should now be worried that Shane Jones is talking the same dig it up attitude as Key while Key has suddenly done a u turn on the Pike River Family and agreed to retrieve their bodies as the coming election looms. postmanproductions.org
