Loud booming noises in central Wellington right now?

@aurynn There was a heli or plane flying over very low earlier...
Are we being invaded?

@Firesphere @aurynn Hope no oil has been discovered there lately...

@catsalad @aurynn No, we don't have oil in Wellington.
We do have shit though...

@Firesphere @catsalad All the oil is offshore in protected waters, so that our current set of conservative idiots is trying to sell off exploitation rights. Predictably.

@aurynn @Firesphere at least the locals here managed to make enough noise about the seabed mining... onto the LPG terminal next.
