Unprepared for an oil spill
The Southland Times headed Jay Harkness' letter boldly and rightly so. In his letter, Mr Harkness of Greenpeace NZ shreds oil man John Pfahlert's opinion piece of earlier in the week, describing the nonsense that was said regarding the use of dispersants as a measure to control a major spill, the huge unlikelihood of mobilising 6000 ships in the event of a spill in the Great South Basin and the un-mentioned contribution to climate change that results from oil extraction and use. I'll not copy the letter out, but take it from me, Mr Harkness has Mr Pfahlert's measure.

When you greenies manage to get a foothold and have some say in Govt, (unlike when you lot support Labour, who wouldn't even give ya crumbs) Contact me re Emergency Management (thats our game) and I will personally assist you all with the contingencies. For a fee of course ;-)
I'll be knocking on your door. You reckon you can get your 6000 ships down here, pronto, should the plug pop out?
