Minister of Energy assumed care of them. Most strange. I would have thought the
roles of the ministers of Transport, Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Science
and for the Environment would have disappeared at the same time too then.*

* Other strange things have happened. Between1866 and 1906 Parliament repeatedly could not decide whether NZ has a telegraph system or an electric telegraph system. Was telegraph by pigeon, semaphore, smoke or by tin cans on the wires in the non-electric years?
