I find it interesting that we had a representative here from Norway recently informing us of the huge benefits the Norwegian government gives people when they buy electric cars and how most cars there are now electric.

The same person was whining about us not doing the same.

The population here isn't much different from Norway, but they only have roughly 25 per cent of the number of cars that New Zealand has on the road.

They are large oil producers, from which they derive a huge income, so they can afford to support electric cars.

Norway produces around two million barrels of oil day, and I find it interesting that a country that wants be so green exports so much oil. Are they simply Nimbies?

People need to compare apples with apples when they come here and tell us how to run things.
