New Zealand pushes ahead with selling / exchanging 60% of its precious conservation estate
This is a repost from Mountain Tui's temporary publication home Almost a year ago, I warned that the right wing NZ government was planning to exchange and/or dispose ("sell") up to 67% of NZ's conservation land. To be clear, that's almost 5 million hectares of…

The Alarming Echos between Trump and Luxon on elections
A glaring similarity of views about the ability to vote recently struck me. Currently in the United States of America the good people of California are in the process of completing their primary elections. I understand that the primary count is now concluded but checks…

Which side is TOP on?
So The Opportunity Party is throwing everything into winning the Mt Albert seat. Their rationale is if they get an electorate seat they get a lifeline into Parliament. They have an interesting policy mix. Arguably their policy positions are close to the Greens and to…

Local Bodies: The myth of New Zealand’s economic backbone
Dave Kennedy at Local Bodies recently published this post. It seems like an apposite commentary after looking at the feel-good Mystery Creek field day coverage. Reposted with permission. Anna Chrichton's brilliant cartoon sums it up. The farming sector is enjoying a boom time at the…

National intends to proceed with the LNG terminal and welch on the country’s Kyoto Protocol obligations
National claims that it is the better economic manager and attacks Labour every opportunity it can. How many times have you heard Luxon or Willis accuse the last Government of "wasteful spending"? This reputation is not deserved however. And three events from this week clearly…
