I've been told the best alternate landing place is in the South Island - Nugget Point, near Tiwai Aluminium Smelter - as it's the shortest route to Australia. That would be great I think.
Also be a magnificent excuse to shut down the smelter and use all that clean, green power from Manapouri to support some honking great data centres. Make some proper money from that power instead of selling it at cents-on-the-dollar through some dodgy back-door politicking. 15% of the national electrical consumption is a whole lot of data centre, and the low ambient temperatures in the area would make it much cheaper to cool. Only negative would be that I could see it being difficult to attract people to live and work in Invergiggles. - -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
