    In short $115 million on a failed investment by the previous Labour Government.

    Let us hope that this Government is more savvy with our tax money.

    Green Energy, net zero, etc projects have a good chance of failure.

    It is not clear whether this was a total loss of $115 million - it was
    a loan and some may have been recovered.

    There were also other investments - see: https://www.nzgif.co.nz/

    It is clear that the current government are happy to just pay for
    missing agreed targets - around $1 billion?

    And save close to 3 billion.
