Despite the best efforts of the New Zealand Government, who passed anti-protest laws and threw millions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies AT A FUCKING OIL COMPANY in an undemocratic and corrupt attempt to get them looting and polluting here. All while flying the 'clean green NZ' flag. Andarko had proposed extremely risky deepwater drilling in one of the most hazardous marine environments on the planet with virtually no remediation or emergency capability within 'timely' reach. They were perfectly happy to see what little actual democratic process remains in this country pounded into the ground by both our elected representatives and police and went ahead with their exploration despite a huge groundswell of public opposition. Do we think this will be the last time Feral Oil tries to kick in the door down here? Ha ha ha, no. But we take a wee bit of comfort from the fact that they swung and missed and it cost them money, because that's the only language they understand. Bye, bitch! Say HELL NO to new wells.
