[WA] A hotel security worker has contracted the virus, Premier Mark McGowan has announced
New cases reported in the last 24 hours
Local cases:
+0 new local cases.
As per the media release, the case announced today will be reported in tomorrow’s case numbers, as the result came through following the end of the 24-hour reporting period.
WA Health today confirmed that a security guard who works at a State Supervised Quarantine Facility (hotel) has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
The guard, a man in his 20’s, worked at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel on Tuesday 26 January, Wednesday 27 January, when he could have acquired the infection, and was diagnosed with COVID-19 overnight.
This indicates that the guard likely acquired the infection while at the hotel. Exactly how the infection was acquired remains under investigation.
He developed symptoms on Thursday 28 January and phoned in sick and did not go to work at the quarantine facility.
COVID-19 was detected following the man’s mandatory day seven swab.
He had tested negative for COVID-19 on January Friday 15, January Sunday 17 and Saturday January 23.
There is a known case of UK B.1.1.7 variant strain in quarantine at the hotel.
The man’s immediate household contacts have been contacted, tested and placed in isolation at State managed quarantine facilities to complete a 14-day quarantine period in a quarantine facility. All three have tested negative this morning.
🧬 Gene sequencing is under way and results will be known by Tuesday morning. However, based on the information WA Health have, it appears possible that this new positive case has the highly transmissible new UK variant.
McGowan: "I have been in contact with the Prime Minister and my fellow state and territory colleagues to advise them of the situation. I have recommended that they put a stop to any travel into Western Australia as an extra precautionary measure."

Hi guys - before we move forward with the weekly things to do post, we wanted to provide some clarity on why a new account is creating this post and provide the community with some information about who we are and how this came about. We’ll keep this intro brief for the sake of getting to what you actually came here for, finding cool things to do this week! We are 4 childhood friends (and are all Redditors as well), who grew up living and hanging out in Toronto. We realized every time we hung out we ended up at the same places because it was far too cumbersome to find anything else, and even though we wanted to explore new things, it just felt easier to go somewhere familiar. We decided we’d try our hand at creating something that makes discovering new things to do easy, and over the last few years and countless of hours later, we created the ExploreTO app. We really admired the daily things to do posts, and also aspired to contribute to the Reddit community in a way that is aligned with our passion project. Our focus on event research has been increasing over the last several months and when we saw that the mods have started doing the posts, we reached out to see if there was a way we can contribute. We are very delighted that the mods gave us the opportunity to create these weekly posts on a trial basis, and we hope you enjoy them! We also wanted to get ahead of some questions that you may be wondering about: How will this affect me as a user who frequently uses these posts? It won’t. We wanted to be transparent in this post because we know the passing of the torch may be confusing. We hope to maintain a great and consistent experience with these posts and improve it further over time based on feedback from the community. We don’t want these posts to turn into anything but what they have always been: a community generated post that captures the best things happening in Toronto. So what’s in it for you? To be frank, these posts take quite a bit of time a week to compile, especially if you aren’t already doing it for another purpose (we are, for our app). We thought it might be mutually beneficial to the community for us to generate these posts as we’re already doing a lot of event research. The community will get a weekly things to do thread that is continuously updated & improved, and we will get exposure for our app. We will never be impartial to events that “benefit us”, this will not only be true in the Reddit threads we post, but also in the app itself. We see our job as finding the best things to do based on the merit of the events themselves. We will never post affiliate or sponsored links on Reddit, however, if the community believes we’re doing a good job, we would be happily welcome anyone to check out our app. Closing thoughts Just like the app was created as a passion project, these posts will only be a continuation of said project. We have no clue how far the app will go and we’ve already spent thousands of hours working on it with nothing earned but the joy of a few positive reviews on the app store. We will however, ask you – the community, for one thing: if you enjoy these posts or derive some benefit from them, occasionally, please let us know. Between our day jobs and our evening passion project that is this app, we’re running on fumes and positive reinforcement. This is the first and last time we will add this intro on the post. We will link to it in the next few so that anyone who may have missed it can still access it. If you have any questions, please go ahead and ask. Hope you enjoy this week's post!

My brothers are coming to Adelaide early August for a family event. Got heaps of different stuff booked/planned for the days they are here but need something to do on Friday and Sunday nights. Was thinking of hiring a suite in the city and go to a restaurant, casino and pubcrawl (haven't been in the city for well over a year myself) Anyone know any alternatives or have any suggestions for a big night out? Doesn't have to involve drinking just looking for something social and fun..Will be 3 of us (22-28yo)
Kia Ora Redditors, I have gone through and analysed wide economic Moat companies listed on NZX. Hope the below helps to narrow down your choices in your investment journey.
Wide Moat, what is that ? Before starting this blog post please read this wide moat businesses explanation here Okay, now that we are up to speed, before you invest in any wide moat company you need to ensure financials of the business are solid as well, I’ll cover the topic of How to understand the financials of the business in the upcoming blogs so subscribe (here) to know when the blog is out. Let’s see if we can spot any wide moat business listed on NZX.
Auckland International Airport Limited (NZE: AIA)
Auckland International airport holds a virtual monopoly as the largest airport in NZ and processes the most number of passengers. This is located in the largest city in NZ as well, making it an ideal destination for travelers, With travelers expected to increase in the coming decades, you can clearly see the wide moat around this business.
WILL THE MOAT SHRINK IN THE NEAR FUTURE ?
The likely hood of the moat shrinking is very low since construction of another international airport in Auckland is highly unlikely. Thing to look out for is debt, since airport need vast amounts of money for up keep and improvements( ex: loss of unnecessary capital due to project over runs and delays). Read a more in depth analysis on Auckland International Airport here
Chorus Limited (NS) - (NZE: CNU)
Chorus manages and builds telecommunications infrastructure in NZ, for ex: when ever you sign up for fiber broadband plan with your ISP, Chorus is contracted to install the connections to your house. As copper cables are replaced by fiber optic cables around NZ, the cost of maintaining these new infrastructure grids are less than before.( Fiber vs Copper wiring: cost of copper and fiber optic cables are stronger requiring less maintenance).
WILL THE MOAT SHRINK IN THE NEAR FUTURE ?
I don’t think the moat will shrink in the near future as setting up a telecom infrastructure company with years of know how is quite difficult, the only way I can see this moat shrinking is if international companies what a piece of NZ infrastructure, but I don’t think the government would allow key infrastructure projects to be outsourced.
NZME Limited (NZE: NZM)
NZME is a New Zealand media company which owns brands such as:
NZ herald
Newstalk ZB
ZM
The Hits
Grab one etc…..
The moat exists but it is a very small one, this moat would have been huge during the hay day of print newspaper readership. So what has happened here ? Internet…. Print newspaper is virtually dead, newspapers all around the world are struggling to make money as subscribers dwindle. Due to the drop in readership, less and less ads are placed in the newspaper hence lower revenue. All the eye balls have moved to “ Social Media”, that’s where the ads are now a days. The only saving light I can see is Grab One, the popular coupon site in NZ. I do believe this will provide a strong source of revenue to the company but I am not sure if this can offset the losses in the other divisions.
The New Zealand Refining Company Limited (NZE: NZR)
Refining NZ is New Zealand’s only oil refinery and the leading supplier of refined petroleum products to the New Zealand market, including petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and other products As a critical piece of national energy infrastructure, Refining NZ is responsible for supplying:
around 85% country’s jet fuel
around 67% of diesel
around 58% of all petrol
between 75 and 85% of bitumen for roading
all fuel oil for ships
sulphur for farm fertilizer
CO2 for the carbonated drinks industry
Moat exists because this is the only oil refinery in New Zealand, It also suppliers around 85% of NZ’s aviation fuel. I believe the number of travelers to New Zealand will only increase, Provide refining NZ a solid moat, however as electric cars are bound to make in roads in New Zealand, the demand for petrol and diesel will gradually decrease. So we need to keep an eye out on the financial performance on an annual basis to make sure the business can still maintain the moat.
Port of Tauranga Limited (NS) (NZE: POT)
The Port of Tauranga Located Tauranga (about 200 km away from Auckland) is the largest port in New Zealand in terms of total cargo volume, and the second largest in terms of container throughput. Total exports: 📷 Total Exports from POT As you can see the number of tonnes being exported from port of Tauranga is increasing. Total imports: 📷 Total Imports from POT As you can see the number of tonnes being imported from port of Tauranga is increasing as well. I see this trend continuing as the demand for NZ products especially in emerging markets increases and demand for imports increases as NZ population continues to grow. So the Moat around POT should be in tact for many years to come.
Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZE: RBD)
Restaurant Brands operates the New Zealand franchises for KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl's Jr. It also operate a KFC franchise in New South Wales, Australia and Taco Bell and Pizza Hut franchise in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan. As of October 2018, Restaurant Brands has 261 stores: 94 KFC New Zealand, 61 KFC Australia 29 Pizza Hut New Zealand, 18 Carl's Jr., 36 Taco Bell Hawaii and 45 Pizza Hut Hawaii stores. It employs nearly 8,000 staff across New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii and serves 120,000 customers worldwide every day. Since RBD operates the NZ franchises for KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl’s Jr and if you wanted to be a franchisee in NZ then you would have to go through them , this gives RBD an economic moat. Will the moat shrink in the near future ? I think the moat will certainly shrink, this is due to the fact that many people are moving away from processed foods to more organic and more healthier options, this will cause sales in fast foods such as KFC, Pizza hut etc to shrink, which in turn means less new franchises opening up. There might even be closures around the corner. So I see the moat being broken pretty soon in the years to come.
SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited (NS) (NZE: SKC)
SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited is New Zealand’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment company. It is one of three major publicly listed casino operators in Australasia. It has entertainment complexes in:
Auckland
Hamilton
Queenstown
Adelaide
Darwin
SkyCity also owns one of Auckland’s best know attractions “Sky Tower”. Although the revenue generated from sky tower to the overall business is small, it is still a jewel in the sky city crown. Will the moat shrink in the near future ? Considering SKC is New Zealand’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment company, it has all the basis covered for tourists that enter into NZ. It also has large convention centers where numerous conferences are held, I don’t see the moat shrinking any time soon. As they in casino lingo “ House always wins”.
South Port New Zealand Limited (NS) ( NZE: SPN)
SPN is the southern most commercial port in NZ located at Bluff. It is situated in the highly productive province of Southland which is responsible for producing a sizeable proportion of New Zealand’s total exports by value. The region’s major exporters are all situated within 80km of the port. All the moat characteristics explained for Port of Tauranga (POT) exist here as well.
Trade Me Group Limited (NZE: TME)
Trade me is the largest internet auction website in NZ. It has Trade me property, motors, jobs etc. Trade me had held a monopoly on internet auctions for quite some time in NZ, but it’s moat has been slowly eroding away, how ? Trade me jobs is competing against Seek, LinkedIn Trade me property is competing against realestate.co.nz, oneroof etc. Trade me market place is competing against Facebook marketplace. Looking at all the competitions trade me is facing it seems quite difficult to hold down the moat in the future.
Vector Limited (NZE: VCT)
Vector is New Zealand's largest distributor of electricity and gas, owning and operating networks which span the Auckland region.This distribution system gives Vector an economic moat. Vector has been involved in electrification projects - charging stations for electric cars, which I think is great for future growth. As number of electric cars increase, there will definitely be a need for more and more charging stations which vector can deliver. The moat seems to be very much intact.
Visitor's Guide to Red Wings hockey at Little Caesers Arena
It’s the inaugural season of the new Little Caesers Arena (LCA). Many pilgrims are making the trek to the new arena to watch the Detroit Red Wings play. This is my first version of this guide for first time visitors modeled after the one I put together for The Joe. I hope you find it helpful. Suggestions welcome!
Safety around the LCA as well as nearby Detroit city streets is very good. Detroit has a reputation of having high crime however in the 25 years I've been going to games in downtown Detroit I've never felt threatened for my safety. Immediately around and inside the LCA there are Detroit City and Michigan State Police as well as Olympia Security before, during, and after the game. The city streets around the LCA and out to the restaurants and hotels are walkable. But like in any modern city, keep your eyes and ears open and don't be stupid. Walk in groups. Stay (reasonably) sober. Don't go down the sketchy alley. Stay on the well-lit streets. Park in a guarded structure or lot not on a dark side street far away. Lock your car doors. Don't leave visible items inside the car. In other words don't be a victim. You'll be fine and you'll have a good time.
A guided tour of the LCA is available by scheduling in advance on specific dates. Check the LCA tours webpage for more information on prices and scheduling.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster, or at the LCA box office (if not already sold out), or through a reseller like Stubhub or even Ticketmaster's Ticket Exchange. Join the mailing list and check out the Red Wings social media for short notice deals like student and military rush ticket pricing and Fan Packs. Be advised the special offers are typically for low demand games like weekdays. Friday and Saturday games especially near holidays or against Canadian teams are high demand and typically not going to have special offers. These games will most likely not have cheap seats even on the reseller market. Ticket prices for the first season of the LCA have been higher than historically at the Joe.
Joe Louis Arena is still standing but no longer being used. The Joe is designated to be torn down but that date is currently not public. You can visit the Joe at 19 Steve Yzerman Dr, Detroit, MI 48226.
I personally do not have much experience with hotels in Detroit but I know people who have stayed at the Westin Book Cadillac and the nearby Ilitch-owned Motor City Casino which also has free shuttle to the LCA or an 8 block walk. MGM Casino is also nearby with a shuttle. On the cheaper side is the Holiday Inn Express next to the Westin Book Cadillac. Check out TripAdvisor Detroit for other hotel options.
With all of the new good food options I recommend checking out a restaurant inside the LCA. Sure the food is stadium prices but there are now three full restaurants located inside the arena as well multiple food stall vendors serving a variety of tastes. The free game day program at the LCA contains a map. I am partial to The Coop. If you want a complete Ilitch experience then get a slice or whole pie of Little Caesars pizza to go or sit down at Mike’s Pizza Bar. Outside the arena I also recommend somewhere iconic such as a coney from American or Lafayette (PROTIP: Lafayette). There are many good restaurants near the LCA and beyond. Check out the /detroit sidebar for more Detroit restaurant suggestions in and around the city. Popular spots include Hockeytown Cafe and flaming cheese in Greektown.
Harry’s Bar and Temple Bar are neighborhood bars that are within a 2 block walking distance to the LCA if you want to drink and hangout with fans before or after. The Chevy Plaza outside the southwest corner of the LCA has beer stands. The /detroit sidebar has more bar suggestions in and around the city. PROTIP: take the QLINE streetcar (US$1.50/3 hours) to the Canfield stop and quaff a few brews over crack fries at HopCat then take the QLINE south 2 stops (10 blocks) to the LCA stop at Sproat St. Be advised the northbound QLINE LCA stop is Adelaide St.
For convenience, park at the LCA VIP parking structure. It may be pricier (US$40 as of 2017-11-09) but it is a comfortable sheltered stroll to the LCA. If you are up for a short walk and would like to save a buck park at the MGM Casino or Motor City Casino for free. From there you can walk 8 blocks or take their free shuttle. The further away you park from the LCA the cheaper it is. There are several surface lots and structures nearby, some let you pay in advance. Some bars also have shuttles for free or a couple bucks. PROTIP: Nemo's has the best shuttle drivers. Regardless, remember where you parked, how you got to the LCA.
Coming from Canada? There is a Windsor tunnel bus US/CAN$5.00 each way from the bus terminal downtown Windsor (Chatham and Church) to Cass Ave. and the I-75 service drive next to the LCA. Getting through immigration takes a few minutes. Have your passport and don't be drunk. Check the link above for service times and details.
The LCA doors open 1.5 hours before game start. There are four sets of doors one at each corner. The Chevy Plaza at the southwest corner has a large screen that shows pre-game hype videos and on occasion the live game. There are also beebeverage stands in the plaza as well as picnic games (e.g. corn hole). You will have to pass through security to enter the Chevy Plaza but no ticket scan until you enter the arena doors.
You can sort of watch the players arrive by car (and visitors by bus) into the parking structure off Clifford north of the I-75 service drive.
The best photos of the LCA exterior are from the east side of Woodward just north of the westbound I-75 service drive looking at the building from the southeast corner. Photo
Will Call tickets at the box office located at the northeast corner of the arena off Woodward Ave.
There is a strict bag size policy enforced at the door. I’ve seen some upset people turned away at the doors. Know before you go.
You will have to go through a metal detector and may be subject to extra screening to enter the LCA.
Free WIFI is available inside as well as outside of the arena.
There are free programs inside the LCA at the entrances. Grab one because it has an arena map with section numbers and vendor locations. Sometimes there are interesting articles too.
There is souvenir shop called the Team Store in the southwest corner of the LCA. The authentic signed gear and memorabilia located in the east end of the store. There are also vendors scattered around the via and upper concourse selling souvenirs. PROTIP: the LCA prices are high for swag. Buy your gear ahead of time online or at Detroit Athletic in Detroit or Hockeytown Authentics up in Troy.
Friendly ushers are everywhere to help out and answer your questions. Most will take your photo for you if you ask politely.
There are local Detroit and Michigan craft beer vendors scattered around the arena priced at around US$10. Check the map in the free program for locations.
During warmups, fans congregate around the glass. Players come out at 30 minutes before game time for warmups. PROTIP: I recommend watching the Red Wings shoot at the net during warmups from behind the net on the glass in section 102/103. Hearing the puck smack the glass inches from your face is neat. Same for aisle for 115/116 on the visiting team side behind the net. The ushers will let you down to the ice level for warmups even if you don’t have tickets in that section.
The sea of banners is gone but the retired jerseys and Stanley Cup Championship banners remain. They are not the originals (those are hanging in the practice rink below the main rink) but are retractable. The banners share the ceiling with the Pistons banners on the other side. PROTIP: The best photo op for the Red Wing banners is in front of the Fox Sports Detroit broadcast desk at the top of section 219. Say hi to Keats for me.
There is a nice mix of old and new artwork in the LCA. Take some time before the game to walk around the lower and upper level concourses to see the manholes, the Howe/Lindsey/Delvecchio statues from the Joe, the original Olympia sign, murals of Red Wing greats. Look for the Red Wing logo at the northeast corner lower concourse made of auto parts. There are multiple selfie and photo spots too like the Red Wings bench and Little Caesars spear. The LCA is shared with the Detroit Pistons basketball team so you will see artwork and displays featuring their greats as well.
Every seat at the LCA has a great view of the ice. Some seats in the upper level (rows 6 and above between the red lines) have obstructed views of the center ice score board but there displays mounted behind the gondolas. The layout of the seats are steep and from the ice it looks like the stands are stacked on top of you. Sections, rows, and seats are on your ticket but navigation is based on portals. Check your ticket for your portal, go to that, then find your section/row/seat. Sit in your own seat. If you see seats that are still empty well into the first period then move to them. If someone asks you to move out of their seat just do it. Explore the arena to check out different seat views. PROTIP: go up to portals 78-82 to check out the vertigo inducing view down from the gondola.
Get to your seat 10 minutes before puck drop to see the pre-game on the huge scoreboard and on-ice projection.
The LCA now has a legit organ with in-house organists. They're pretty entertaining. Check it out the upper concourse behind section 301.
Don't be disrespectful during the national anthem(s). Just stand politely and shut up. Some visitors don't understand how disrespectful they can be. It's like 2 minutes, put the phone down.
Most Red Wings fans are friendly people and quite knowledgeable about their team and the sport. Strike up a conversation and you'll probably learn something new.
Cheer for your visiting team but don't be a dick about it.
DO NOT STAND UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT WHILE THE PUCK IS IN PLAY.
The LCA has a strict no smoking policy. There is no smoking area outside of any door. If you leave the LCA to smoke you will not be readmitted.
We know the goal horn recording sucks. We've already told the Red Wings organization about it. They know. They're working on it.
There are a lot of restrooms in the LCA. I haven’t see any long lines like the Joe had. Sadly(?) there are no urinal troughs in the men’s rooms.
Don't leave early! If the Red Wings win the DJ will play Don't Stop Believing in the final seconds or right after the game ends for you and thousands of your friends to sing along. The arena DJ plays music from multiple genres from Motown to country to pop and is known to take suggestions. He can be reached on Twitter @thehockeyjockey.
There is no public accessible spot for athlete autographs. The best opportunity for autographs is an event created for that purpose such as the Season Ticket Holder Open House, Fan Day Open House, or charity events like Toast of Hockeytown, Charity Poker Tournaments, as well as autograph signing events posted at https://www.facebook.com/DRWautographs/.
Post-game ride share pickups are along the I-75 service drive south of the LCA. Shuttles will pick you up where they dropped you off.
Have fun and enjoy the game!

NZME is a New Zealand media company which owns brands such as:
NZ herald
Newstalk ZB
ZM
The Hits
Grab one etc…..
The moat exists but it is a very small one, this moat would have been huge during the hay day of print newspaper readership. So what has happened here ? Internet…. Print newspaper is virtually dead, newspapers all around the world are struggling to make money as subscribers dwindle. Due to the drop in readership, less and less ads are placed in the newspaper hence lower revenue. All the eye balls have moved to “ Social Media”, that’s where the ads are now a days. The only saving light I can see is Grab One, the popular coupon site in NZ. I do believe this will provide a strong source of revenue to the company but I am not sure if this can offset the losses in the other divisions.
The New Zealand Refining Company Limited (NZE: NZR)
Refining NZ is New Zealand’s only oil refinery and the leading supplier of refined petroleum products to the New Zealand market, including petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and other products As a critical piece of national energy infrastructure, Refining NZ is responsible for supplying:
around 85% country’s jet fuel
around 67% of diesel
around 58% of all petrol
between 75 and 85% of bitumen for roading
all fuel oil for ships
sulphur for farm fertilizer
CO2 for the carbonated drinks industry
Moat exists because this is the only oil refinery in New Zealand, It also suppliers around 85% of NZ’s aviation fuel. I believe the number of travelers to New Zealand will only increase, Provide refining NZ a solid moat, however as electric cars are bound to make in roads in New Zealand, the demand for petrol and diesel will gradually decrease. So we need to keep an eye out on the financial performance on an annual basis to make sure the business can still maintain the moat.
Port of Tauranga Limited (NS) (NZE: POT)
The Port of Tauranga Located Tauranga (about 200 km away from Auckland) is the largest port in New Zealand in terms of total cargo volume, and the second largest in terms of container throughput. Total exports: 📷 Total Exports from POT As you can see the number of tonnes being exported from port of Tauranga is increasing. Total imports: 📷 Total Imports from POT As you can see the number of tonnes being imported from port of Tauranga is increasing as well. I see this trend continuing as the demand for NZ products especially in emerging markets increases and demand for imports increases as NZ population continues to grow. So the Moat around POT should be in tact for many years to come.
Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZE: RBD)
Restaurant Brands operates the New Zealand franchises for KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl's Jr. It also operate a KFC franchise in New South Wales, Australia and Taco Bell and Pizza Hut franchise in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan. As of October 2018, Restaurant Brands has 261 stores: 94 KFC New Zealand, 61 KFC Australia 29 Pizza Hut New Zealand, 18 Carl's Jr., 36 Taco Bell Hawaii and 45 Pizza Hut Hawaii stores. It employs nearly 8,000 staff across New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii and serves 120,000 customers worldwide every day. Since RBD operates the NZ franchises for KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl’s Jr and if you wanted to be a franchisee in NZ then you would have to go through them , this gives RBD an economic moat. Will the moat shrink in the near future ? I think the moat will certainly shrink, this is due to the fact that many people are moving away from processed foods to more organic and more healthier options, this will cause sales in fast foods such as KFC, Pizza hut etc to shrink, which in turn means less new franchises opening up. There might even be closures around the corner. So I see the moat being broken pretty soon in the years to come.
SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited (NS) (NZE: SKC)
SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited is New Zealand’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment company. It is one of three major publicly listed casino operators in Australasia. It has entertainment complexes in:
Auckland
Hamilton
Queenstown
Adelaide
Darwin
SkyCity also owns one of Auckland’s best know attractions “Sky Tower”. Although the revenue generated from sky tower to the overall business is small, it is still a jewel in the sky city crown. Will the moat shrink in the near future ? Considering SKC is New Zealand’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment company, it has all the basis covered for tourists that enter into NZ. It also has large convention centers where numerous conferences are held, I don’t see the moat shrinking any time soon. As they in casino lingo “ House always wins”.
South Port New Zealand Limited (NS) ( NZE: SPN)
SPN is the southern most commercial port in NZ located at Bluff. It is situated in the highly productive province of Southland which is responsible for producing a sizeable proportion of New Zealand’s total exports by value. The region’s major exporters are all situated within 80km of the port. All the moat characteristics explained for Port of Tauranga (POT) exist here as well.
Trade Me Group Limited (NZE: TME)
Trade me is the largest internet auction website in NZ. It has Trade me property, motors, jobs etc. Trade me had held a monopoly on internet auctions for quite some time in NZ, but it’s moat has been slowly eroding away, how ? Trade me jobs is competing against Seek, LinkedIn Trade me property is competing against realestate.co.nz, oneroof etc. Trade me market place is competing against Facebook marketplace. Looking at all the competitions trade me is facing it seems quite difficult to hold down the moat in the future.
Vector Limited (NZE: VCT)
Vector is New Zealand's largest distributor of electricity and gas, owning and operating networks which span the Auckland region.This distribution system gives Vector an economic moat. Vector has been involved in electrification projects - charging stations for electric cars, which I think is great for future growth. As number of electric cars increase, there will definitely be a need for more and more charging stations which vector can deliver. The moat seems to be very much intact.
2017 AFL Premiership Season Early Ladder Astrological Predictions Thread
Adelaide: Good blend of air and earth signs. Might be hit with injuries early in the season, but should pan out well during August when Mercury is retrograde. Top 4 finish. Brisbane: New coach is in for a good year… at the Casino. Bottom 4 again. Carlton: Too many fire signs means Carlton will have trouble keeping their cool next season. 14-16. Collingwood: The pies were disappointing in 2016, mainly because the stars said they would make the finals. How they managed to fuck that up is anyone’s guess. 2017 will see the stars have their revenge, with significant injuries to players and fans alike. 12-15. Essendon: Jobe Watson is an Aquarius, which explains why he acted like such a bitch over the Brownlow thing. Now that the bombers have overcome the significant block to their progress provided by ASADA having lots of Taurus among their board; and with Hibberd, Brown and Zaharakis all coming into their Saturn return in 2018; 2017 is do or die for the bombers. They won’t have stars like this again until 2021. 6-8. Fremantle: Ross Lyon is such a Scorpio. All promise and no return. Never trust a fucking Scorpio, they appear all whimsical and adventurous but at the last minute they’ll leave you at the restaurant by yourself on Valentines day looking like a fool. FUCK YOU TANYA. Geelong: Tom Hawkins is a Cancer, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. His birthday is July 21, and had he been born two days later he’d be a Brisbane Lion. Together with the heavy hitting combo of Aries/Gemini found in Dangerwood, the Cats should be on track for another decent year. Top 4. Gold Coast: Despite having the actual son of God in their side, GCS are pretty shit. This is easily explained by Rodney Eade being an Aries while the side are mainly water signs. 12-16 GWS: It takes a significant weather event for there to even be stars visible in western Sydney. That event happened in 2016, and 2017 will be a different story. No easy ride to the finals this year for the youngest AFL side. 8-10. Hawthorn: The hawk’s star fell in 2016, but a phoenix rises from the ashes to glory. Too bad they are not the Hawthorn Phoenixes. Best thing we can say about next season is nobody appears to be Cancer. 5-8. Melbourne: The demons need to change their symbol from the cartoonish demigod to a fully fledged Baphomet. And then perform some blood sacrifice rituals. Seriously, their stars are up the shite. 9-13. North Melbourne: The Kangaroo is a strong graceful creature which doesn’t get too old. Because it dies. But a new generation emerges from the pouch to eat your lawn. Maybe 2018 will be better. 9-13. Port Adelaide: Howya garn maaaate? Fucken stars are heaps good ay. Fucken make the 8 bro. See youse in fucken Chinar ay!!! Richmond: For some reason, the planets have aligned in Richmond’s favour this year after a dreadful 2016. They will finish very comfortably somewhere between 8th and 10th. St Kilda: Not even the Saints themselves could help the Saints in 2016. Next year’s stars are a little kinder, although Reiwoldt appears to have some big changes coming his way late in the year. That could mean a retirement, or it could mean a premiership, or maybe he is just going to buy a new house. The stars tend to be kind of obscure like that, so that you can point to pretty much anything and say that was true. 5-8. Sydney: With a strong portfolio focusing on diverse real estate and commodities, Sydney is poised to have a big year provided the ASX200 remains steady. Top 4. WCE: Sam Mitchell brings Libra to the eagles, which is a good fit with NicNat being a Taurean. Sadly though, NicNat isn’t playing next year; and with too many Geminis on board Mitchell will struggle to fit into the side, and won’t give them that boost they need to finish on top. 4-8. Western Bulldogs: The stars knew that the Bulldogs would win in 2016, but they kept it a secret. They wanted at least one nice surprise given the whole Trump thing was about to happen. Anyway 2017 will not be kind to the bulldogs, although that didn’t stop them this year. There’ll be a wedding, a funeral and something exciting happening in September. Sorry, the stars aren’t being any more specific this year. 1-12.
