shortened my HC nic to stazI'm alive... Just kidding I'm dead inside.
I'm Dunedin born and raised and was a Scarfie too, I left uni with half a Political Science degree and full honours in drinking Speights and burning couches to keep warm. Might explain this weekend as I was drinking with a mate from home
Naah I completely agree, it's astonishing that it could happen and go that far. The whole tree seems pretty rotten not just the odd piece of fruit. Was merely pointing out that the piece of paper having an official stamp doesn't mean its legal and stands up in court.
I normally get terrible hangovers, managed to eat some dinner and get some sleep and I feel fine now so lets see how long that lasts.

Terrible hangovers -
I suggest you go and get your blood pressure checked. If you have high blood pressure, the doctor will probably ask for a complete checkup too. Too many middle aged blokes, don't go to the doctor. I've taken medication for high blood pressure for almost 2 decades now. For many losing weight helps. Even if you are healthy and a good BMI, blood pressure can be an issue.
Few famous middle aged blokes like Shane Warne checked out recently.

Felix Tshisekedi, president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has demanded a ban on issuing and trading mining permits until the countryâs mining registry has been audited, a measure aimed at combatting fraud within the sector.
Tshisekedi told ministers he wanted to end the squandering of mining assets by unnamed political actors and officials involved in the administration of the mining register, which records mining concessions, according to minutes of the meeting seen by Reuters news agency on Saturday.
âThis recommended clean-up will increase the contribution of the mining sector to the stateâs budget and help, as a priority, the people benefit from the mineral wealth of our country,â Tshisekedi told ministers.
The move is an escalation of Tshisekediâs continuing review of deals struck by his predecessor Joseph Kabila, which includes a $6bn âinfrastructure-for-mineralsâ deal with Chinese investors.
The DRC is the worldâs top producer of cobalt and Africaâs biggest copper producer, but more than 70 percent of its roughly 100 million people live on less than $1.90 per day, according to the World Bank.
Transparency activists have estimated the DRC has lost out on billions of dollars of revenue from mining deals over the past two decades.
Tshisekedi gained the presidency through a power-sharing settlement with Kabila, following the disputed 2018 election, but he has gradually taken almost all the levers of government, political analysts say, and been increasingly outspoken about Kabilaâs mining deals.
Mining companies who fail to comply with their administrative and social obligations should have their licences revoked, Tshisekedi told Mining Minister Antoinette NâSamba.
He asked NâSamba to identify mining companies where the state had not gained 10 percent of shares when the permit flipped from exploration to exploitation, as required by the mining code.

DRC rated at 84% progress on EITI Standards
The international secretariat of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) favors the Democratic Republic of the Congo at 84% after analyzing the draft assessment of the progress it has made in implementing the standard EITI, the Minister of State in charge of Planning, Christian Mwando Nsimba Kabulo, said at the weekend during the 116th ordinary meeting of the EITI Executive Committee which he chaired in his office.
In his capacity as the current Chairman of the Executive Committee, the Minister reaffirmed the government's determination to successfully complete the EITI-DRC process for transparency in the mining and extractive industries according to the international standards of the EITI.
He also indicated that other subjects were discussed during this 116th meeting, including the state of play of the governance of the Mining Fund (Fomin) for future generations and the partnership contract between the DRC and several partners.
The Minister of Mines and First Vice-Chair of the EITI DRC Executive Committee has, to this end, reacted to the concerns raised by the members of the Executive Committee.
For the national coordinator of the EITI-DRC, Mr. Jean Jacques Kayembe, although the score is very high, the national executive committee of the EITI remains convinced that the judgments made must be improved in order to allow the DRC to reach the maximum score.
âWe worked on a draft validation report which is a draft, and the committee will have to respond and argue to improve the score. We are within the limit of very high transparency, we are not very happy because the efforts that have been made are enormous and the judgment that has been made for us can be improved, "said Jean-Jacques Kayembe.
Faced with the concerns raised by the international secretariat of the EITI, Jean-Jacques Kayembe reassures that the appropriate responses will be given by June 22 after the meeting extended to the mining cadastre and the Ministry of Mines.
This meeting will allow the DRC to achieve the high score of transparency in the mining and hydrocarbons sector.
âIndeed, it is an encouraging result but not sufficient to validate the country of FĂ©lix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo in compliance with the EITI standard by the international secretariat. After having taken note of the remarks raised by the international secretariat of the EITI, the national executive committee intends to provide clarifications during discussions with the experts of the international EITIâ, he declared in substance.
This result, adds the source, is consecutive to the advocacy that had been made by the Congolese delegation led by the Prime Minister in South Africa during the world forum on mines, called "Mining Indaba 2022".
During this forum, the Congolese authorities reassured the delegates of the EITI International Secretariat of the government's determination for more transparency in the extractive sector.

Westpac joins banks offering cheaper loans for electric and hybrid vehicles
One of Australiaâs Big Four banks, Westpac, has launched an offer of lower interest rate loans for customers buying a new or used hybrid or electric vehicle.
The banking giant says it did its own research and found that more than two thirds (67%) of Australians were citing cost as the biggest barrier to buying a hybrid or electric vehicle.
To help overcome that barrier, Westpac is offering a new loan product targeting new or used (up to seven yearsâ old) hybrid or fully electric cars of anywhere between $10,000 â $100,000 at a fixed interest rate of 4.99% p.a. (compared to 6.21% p.a.) over 1-7 years.
There are some basic requirements for eligibility and a list of eligible cars â itâs 93 pages long and covers a LOT of non-plug-in hybrids) â and the bank also offers loans at 10% greater than the amount of the chosen car, to cover on-road costs.
Westpac says the survey of its customers also found that 70% of Australians plan to own a hybrid or electric vehicle in âthe future,â with 34% of current petrol and diesel car drivers looking to make the switch for their next auto purchase.
âWe know that cost is one of the biggest barriers to hybrid and electric vehicle uptake, so this offer can help more customers transition to a greener vehicle,â said Chris de Bruin, Westpac chief of consumer and business banking.
âGiven the recent increase in petrol prices, electric and hybrid vehicles appeal to the environmentally conscious, and the financially conscious too.
âWe expect demand for these vehicles will continue to rise, with many Australians already planning to make the change,â de Bruin added.
âWeâre also seeing new government incentives, improved access to charging stations, and more manufacturers offering hybrid and electric vehicles, which will help accelerate the transition.â
Behyad Jafari, CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council said the new offer from Westpac represented another opportunity for Australians to save by going electric.
âWe know the majority of Australians are now actively considering an electric vehicle as their next car and this initiative will help them make the shift.
âGiven the average Australian household currently spends $3,700 a year on petrol and diesel, the purchase of an electric vehicle would ease real pressure on the monthly budget.â
Westpac is not the only Australian bank offering EV-friendly loans.
Macqurie Bank offers rates starting from 3.99% per annum as part of a specialised electric vehicle buying service that it has set up âto make the transition easier.â
Bendigo Bank, which has offered a âgreen loanâ product for 20 years, earlier this year announced that the interest rate for a secured Green Loan to buy a second-hand EV would be reduced by 180 basis points to 4.99%.
Pepper Money â which is the company through which Tesla does its EV financing in Australia â also offers a fixed 3.99% p.a. with no ongoing monthly fees and âa host of soon-to-be-announced benefitsâ for the purchase of an EV.
Pepperâs electric car loan calculator offers an estimate on repayments for a new or used EV and claims to have financed one in nine electric vehicles sold in Australia, thus far.
Plenti, meanwhile, offers a slightly higher interest rate â from 5.49% p.a. â but perhaps offsets that with no monthly fees, no early repayment fees and the ability to be able to âbundleâ the costs of buying an EV, including home charging and a promise of future access to discounted comprehensive insurance.

It's an embarrassment to their legal system really, blatant corruption at the expense of the actual law. Both of the matters in question.
How any of it got through any 'court' is stupefying.
The only way AVZ lose this is if the current DRC government/ President / M of Mines are corrupt to the eyeballs .
Good work on flying the AVZ flag on twitter mate. I do think we have to be really careful calling the DRC Government incompetent though, especially if it is obvious it comes from AVZ holders. We don't want to offend the DRC people. Hopefully with mining journalists like Franck being involved there will be more awareness as to how much better off the DRC people would be with AVZ as opposed to China/Zijin.
I do agree though, the lack of action is extremely frustrating.
