The smelter is an integral part of the southern economy and we should be fighting tooth and nail to make sure it stays operating. Aucklanders get excited by promises of power price reductions if the smelter was to close but the cost of redistributing the power north would more than outweigh any savings.

They sit in their cars on clogged motorways around Auckland polluting the environment without a thought of the damage they cause but those traffic jams gives them time to think about everyone else.

We need to change the conversation to the carbon footprint they leave just getting to work
