The ‘4Rs’ of emergency management are risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery. Govt decisions to make fairy dust the strategy for emissions reduction suggests they’re not bothered with risk reduction; adaptation is all too hard so forget readiness, making response increasingly frequent
NZ has fallen into a 'crisis and response' pattern on climate disaster, experts say. Billions have been spent on storm recovery since 2023, while key climate adaptation funding and planning tools have been cut.

Kirikiriroa/ Hamilton folks. It would be great to have a strong show of support for Te Huia this Sunday 2pm at Hamilton Frankton Station. A key decision is coming up in a couple of weeks on extending the trial by another year and your support could help get this across the line.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies.
That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.

What was there to consider? Using the genocide of Palestinians for a real estate opportunity is a disgrace and this should have been rejected on the spot. Luxon said the Government had considered the invitation but decided not to join "in its current form". What does that even mean?

So ... um, National decided to put together a pre-election election advert, and it's all AI generated video.
Leaving aside that the AI generated animation is as bad as you think, I wonder how much energy it sucked down and how much it contributed to climate change.
