Freight costs and logistics are in a massive turmoil at the moment. While you may not like what you hear from Mr. Roberts, he speaks the truth...the price increase is not his doing...it all comes down to what the product cost landed after it has cleared customs. 8-10% may even be conservative. I guess the rising cost of plywood is his fault as well and totally not related to the global situation.

Can't we get rid of him sooner?

So many people are busting curfew these days, if the police would book everyone we'd clear all of our debt out of the treasury.

I say that if the govt will not do the right thing by Mr. Smith and the agreed upon parcel of crown land, they must repay all his investors and the potential lost profit at the time the crown land was agreed upon. Because of govt 'dither and delay' in signing anything in a timely manner, this is where we end up, and instead of honouring the earlier agreed upon lease, they figured they could 'line their pockets' a bit better with some deeper pockets. Shameful. If you don't have the balls to honour your deal, then you should square things up financially in a good enough manner that your LOCAL investors don't get burned. Yet another way that political parties alienate many of their backers...yet they will come to you at election time requesting financial support.

I'm hearing people saw smoke all the way out by Rose Island.

net income being the operative word...not GROSS

"The volcano is said to have shot up some eight kilometres (4.97 miles) of lava into the skies when it erupted on Friday."

kind of hoping the reporter meant ASH not LAVA...

So this is part of the big coverup...he's 'been exposed' and is experiencing 'symptoms'...but they won't test him to confirm him as a positive...covid is raging through here and government gone quiet.

Sure is...take the wholesale price and throw at least 30-35% upcharge on it to buy it retail on the shelf.

Live by the gun, die by the gun...
