Since selling off all the infrastructure paid for by tax payers over many years, these companies are operating solely for commercial gain and we the taxpayers will be left with again paying for infrastructure as its lifespan ends. There must be a reinvestment in development of gas and water power mechanisms as all the green energy suggestions are short lived and unable to provide consistent, affordable, reliable power to all.

[@SuperHone12]

Lets invest in our own

[@Phil-oj5nr]

There is no sentiment in business. All companies, both private and listed are at the behest of their shareholders. End of story (sadly).

[@lindamckenzie6500]

Well said Shane Jones Sir! Please keep telling th how it is....eventually they will listen.....one lives in hope!

[@food4thort]

Maybe energy sector companies should be legislated to invest a minimum percentage of net profits in infrastructure, before distribution to shareholders.

[@paul.richardson-y1l]

Great idea but that is not how capitalism works

[@food4thort]

@@paul.richardson-y1l I know, and I'm pretty libertarian! There is a case though, as I understand it, where in a 'thin market' such as NZ that lacks strong competition (eg banking, supermarkets etc) regulator intervention to counter 'a market negative externality' can be justified.

[@lukevanzuilen6848]

@@paul.richardson-y1l Capitalism only works when there are laws that govern how businesses work. It is a good idea because the government owns 50% of Gen Tailors as required by law having them reinvest a minimum percentage before paying dividends will ensure that production grows.

[@paul.richardson-y1l]

It is a fact that CEOs of these companies are paying out more to the shareholders then maintaining infrastructure , this is John Keys and the National parties fault

[@traceymcewing2926]

Can you show us simply how this could work? We were saying a long time ago that we didn't want to sell out our natural resources to multinational companies. What happened? Who are the Tzars? What does your plan look like?

[@SuperHone12]

It a good question we want to know the nitty gritty

[@paulblyde2175]

Without bipartisan support good luck getting foreign investment, labour and the greens have set us back decades. Its great we are getting NZ oil and gas going again but without foreign investment we will constantly be scrambling and scraping the bottom of the barrel. The days of plenty are gone forever without major changes and bipartisan agreement. 🙈🙉🙊

We have plenty of coal to burn. Instead, we've been importing it. Getting at it is expensive, but we have the best coal, lots of it and we need jobs and cheaper energy. Toitū te Tiriti.

And pretty much all their achievements are arrived at by stealth they haven’t the personal integrity to do what they do out in the open and submit their machinations to the wider public/electorate. In the manner of the attempted privatisation of the entire electrical industry in the 1990s.

[@jamescrydeman540]

Good luck with that, the economic right wing have had a pretty free hand since the 1970s with the assistance of Friedman and his disciples. They have become habituated to their selfish ways and thei influence is accentuated by NZs small and easily deluded population. Pandering to big business has been ingrained in NZ since before I came here as a child migrant in the Mid 1950s. The manner in which big companies took a small stake in state/private ventures, let the state take the risk then once established as a profitable venture, quietly buying up the government and other partners shares. Until the national mindset includes an understanding of these details you have some struggle ahead.

​@@jamescrydeman540how would you propose an economy that is devoid of business unless you are a socialist. Successful capitalist democracies rely on businesses generating taxable profits. We all pay taxes to support our common costs but absolutely no more than strictly necessary. Your anti business stance clearly defines your political leanings. Are you concerned to be on the left, if so why, be who you are.
