The Invercargill Rant
Old man yells at clouds.
Hey everyone! So something worth mentioning finally happened, and no, it's not Code of Conduct bu****it! Have a listen to what I think about the data center out at Makarewa, and if you've got a question, pop into the comments.
Hey everyone! So I've been asked a lot about the lack of Christmas lights up in town. Well, I've got bad news and more bad news about that...
Hey everyone! If you're wondering what our Mayoral candidates spent on their campaigns, I have the numbers and it was not quite what I was expecting...
Hey everyone! Today I'm ranting about nitrates and the Gore District Council, and why you don't want either of them near a drinking water supply.
Hey everyone! Bit longer than usual but there's a lot going on, so bare with me here. Trees, trains, silence, stupid ideas; and something that fascinates me is coming!
Hey everyone! So misinformation is up to its old tricks, and I like trains so this needs correcting! The Mainlander from Christchurch to Invercargill and return is coming in January (link in the comments).
Hey everyone! There's a lot going on, so the Briscoes building (again), the Tuatarium (again), the new museum car park, and what do we do about the Queens Drive trees?
Hey everyone! So we've got the numbers about where our rubbish and recycling service is heading, and out of town arborists are still a non-issue, but it needs addressed. Again.

Hey everyone! So we've got the initial bill for the storm damage, and it's only an unbudgeted $2.4 million - so far.
This could be a game changer, so let's see what the Council's insurers have to say about covering Acts of God 🤔
Hey everyone! So Councillor remuneration has been in the news and nobody really gets it, so let your favourite local curmudgeon have a crack at explaining what's going on. Cheers!
Hey everyone! Back in the saddle with a quick explainer before we go into using Christchurch contractors to clean up the city, and the $100,000 ICC fireworks display tomorrow afternoon!
