Of the respondents to the Auckland City Council's climate action framework proposal, "Forty per cent said they were prepared to make radical changes to their lifestyle, 42 per cent accepted medium change, and 12 per cent were prepared to make lower level or no change to their lifestyle."

Better than what I would have feared. But what will it take for any of those respondents to do as they said they would?
Regardless of whatever sympathies you might have for lab technicians, striking now is a terrible mistake. The PM should tell them very publicly tomorrow that if they persist she’ll legislate them (and any other sector that thinks a strike at this time is a good idea) back to work.
Regardless of your overriding authoritarianism, I would think that there are two sides to the story, and maybe now is the time for people like you to think twice about how much you value your lab technicians. You may be about to need them.
By the way, I am not a lab technician. I am one who has experienced far too much of employers failing to appreciate their workers, and using despicable tactics to undermine the employees’ efforts to gain any kind of justice.
Putting aside the fact that I sympathise with their cause, yeah I might need them, maybe. And if they’re on strike they won’t be there when I do need them. Threatening a strike at this time is madness. As others have pointed out Covid-19 has pretty much put the country onto a proto-war-footing. The government should respond as such.
Well, if they are on strike, it will be precisely because of you and your ilk, who pretend to sympathise. If you and your type had 'sympathised' earlier in any effective way, the strike would not be in the offing now.
I think your main aim is to try to pin false blame on the Govt.
Bogg off.
A 'former' right-wing white supremacist publicises his rejection of those beliefs.
I think these stories are important because it shows that followers of the extreme right-wing thought promoted by Molineuax, Southern, Jordan Petersen, the Christchurch mass murderer, David Seymour etc, can wake up to the dreadful manipulation they were victims of.
They can become good people again. Or at least reject the hatred to which they formerly subscribed.
