The headline kinda set up for something more dramatic, I think that's part of the problem.

I actually expected worse than 11%, to be honest.

I'm curious, who here would pay $35 to visit Te Papa? I haven't been there in years, and I work in Wellington, I could just drop in after work.

Also, the fact they don't actually check if someone's from NZ or not beyond asking will spread quite fast, and I suspect a large chunk of visitors will say where they're staying in NZ, rather than their country of origin.

Definitely, someone would be dead if they tasted like lollies. Especially since children have been eating them.

Well, some good news for once. I've been fixing at 6 months the last few renewals, in the hope rates will start to drop.

Someone tried to sell one on Facebook Marketplace.

It's an interesting idea actually.

I don't shop at Countdown, so I can't say firsthand.

Yeah, smuggling operation gone wrong was also my first theory.

The capital outlay may be small, but the ongoing maintenance on a floating structure like that would be quite high, certainly compared to a fixed installation.

That's why I made the comment about a smuggling operation gone wrong in the description, I suspect this was how the drugs got into the country in the first place.

Floating solar sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me, I suspect if it was as easy as the people promoting it make out, it would already be everywhere.

It also doesn't help that our hydro is mostly at the other end of the country to where all the sun is.
