    Yes all AUCKLAND fuel comes down the pipeline from Marsden point to WOSL (Wiri). Northland's fuel is despatched by road tanker from a delivery point adjacent to Marsden point. Other ports around the country receive their fuel by ocean tanker, either from Marsden point by NZ operated coastal tankers or direct from overseas. Marsden Point cannot produce enough fuel to completely supply the NZ market. Mt Maunganui receives completely imported petrol because it is such a deep port, so large ocean tankers from overseas unload there first so they are lighter (draw less draught) and they can then go into other ports and unload.
    I thought you were mainly on coal down there .....?
    Actually, sorry about that Steve, I come from Dunedin originally, and we Jafas love Tauranga really. It is only your parliamentary representation we sometimes have a few reservations about. cheers

    Yeah, we had a problem with our parliamentary representative too. Hence the new man now, Simon Bridges.

    I went to University at the same time as Whinny, and I thought his parents weren't married then and I don't think they've married since Just before the last election I was down town and NZ First were soliciting for votes on one corner. I told one of the canvassers who approached me that I'd never vote for them until they got rid of Whinny, and who walks around the corner and holds his hand out to shake mine but the Peters himself. Nearly laughed til I cried.

    I think he is one of those people who just turn up like the bad penny whether they are wanted or not. My wife & I were in Tauranga a few years ago (I think an election might have been in the offing!) and who crosses the road to greet us, but the same man. He made me feel as if he had been hanging around all morning just to shake my hand, but he is of course a politician & has to be able to do that!

    You look about the same vintage as me Steve - finished an Engineering Degree in 1970, remember the moon landing and all that well. Go well mate - hope to catch up.

    Auckland School of Engineering, Symmonds St? I was there 68 and 69 - if you were there you must have been in the first 1st Pro which didn't go to Ardmore?
