That's why they are rich and we are poor I guess.

If I understand the argument is that we have no expertise in finding and extracting it, so we have to offer bigger concessions to get anybody to do it.

Which sounds like the wrong solution to the problem, but what would I know?

What's the argument for taking such a low cut of the profits?

Maybe nobody should extract it.

Yeah but then car no go brrrrrr

Other than CNG/LPG I don't think any NZ cars have run on what we extract for at least a few decades now (could well be wrong).

Fortunately electric cars exist and they can go whrrrrrrrr instead of brrrrr!

Good. Car is noisy and annoying.
