Open letters

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Your old mate isn't really a fan of the recent trend toward collective whinging, otherwise known as an 'open letter'.

However, with the future of New Zealand's energy supply at stake, the letter penned by the gas lobby group GasNZ, along with leaders from 11 other energy and resource organisations, eems more useful than one from 400 'church leaders' opposing non-existent legislation.

The letter calls for an ened to energy being used as a political football to the detriment of a clear plan for stable energy supply.

"Ensuring that our homes, schools and hospitals are warm, and that our industries have reliable and affordable energy shouldn't be a partisan issue," says GasNZ.

We all know gas is part of the answer, yet Chris Hipkins has stated he'll oppose cross-party action if it involves gas.
