Imports of brown coal (lignite) per capita
So what? Means nothing when not in contex.

I download this report from the Ministry of Businesss, it's awesome. It shows on a quaterly bases Production, Imports and Exports for coal. Broken down further into Bituminous, Sub-bituminous and Lignite. It also shows how much is used for Electricity, Transport etc

http://www.med.govt.nz/sectors-industries/energy/energy-modelling/data/coal

It also shows in 2011 we only imported 20 tonnes of Lignite, 0.01% of our total coal imports.

And our total coal imports are 8% of our exports.

Lignite has very low enegy and it is not worth it to transport it over long distances. So it wouldn't surprise me that a tiny amount of 20 tonnes would put us 3rd in the world for importing it, since no one else would bother importing it. It's just a good example of how people can takes stats out of context to make them sound far worse then they really are.

Okay, so not all of them are bad, and of course we are awesome in other ways, I was just reading a new article about child abuse and got interested and stumbled across these stats, bullying, rape and suicide isn't something to be proud of though. I'm just stating some of the negatives as I found them interesting.

Apparently the NZDF have shown interest in these, but i want to know what a hand-thrown drone is - a paper plane perhaps??

Depends on upkeep, but yeah, I can't see us wanting to shell out for continuous aerial reconnaissance of the Southern Ocean, compared to the economic benefits.

Looks bloody handy if you need to patrol our huge maritime area.

I'm not sure it's worth mega bucks just to look at this:

"HOW'S THE OCEAN?!"

"It's still wet sir!"

Erm, having flown a few of those patrols in P3K's, it's amazing how many

New Zealand already has adequate equipment (read: firepower) to stop whaling. we don't need a big expensive AR-Drone to look at it.

Case and point:
I've seen asian people take a shit in the street, they're not going to give a fuck if we watch them butcher some whales I can tell you.
