Why do they even pretend that they have a climate change policy? Everything is being watered down to "if you can be bothered". 😡

Banks, credit unions, building societies and insurers would still be required to report.

TBF every pay negotiation is political for public sector workers as politicians decide if they are going to fund pay increases or not in the ministries. 🫤

Both parties are guilty of this, but classroom maintenance is BAU. Just freaking do it. 🙄

We should thank him for MMP. His government was the final straw for the electorate.

This BS drives me nuts. This charity is meant to do things "better" than struggling public mental health services, but the f@ckers clip the ticket big time. 😡😡🤮

This stinks more than a soggy gumboot , King's execs get 527k which is what some other charities run on per year if they haven't been cut altogether by this cretinus gov..

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes

Mind blowing.

The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.

Once again the government panders to the lowest common denominator. No ambition. No leadership. Just caving into the demands of the greedy peak bodies. 🫩

The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years and is ruling out agricultural taxes on methane emissions.

TBH I thought it would be a lot worse. We are close as it will be harder and harder to argue that Māori wards "don't work", "cost too much" or are "unfair".

MĀORI WARDS
40% of areas chose to keep Māori wards. Some by a wide margin.

A better result than I expected, given the demographics and embedded racism in our country.

In areas that lost, I'd love to know whether the numbers have improved since any previous referendum.

Aotearoa on the move.

Everything that makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is related to Māori culture. Welcome to the country, that's a pōwhiri. We are gonna thrash you at sport, that's a haka. Traditional meals, that's a hāngī. Matariki that's our New Year

If you don't like Māori stuff maybe you're in the wrong country?
