The blackbird nest outside the home office window has 3 or 4 new eggs after the last three babies grew up and flew away. So that is something joyful.

Ardern and Shaw, willfully or no, were taken for a ride by National and Fed Farmers on climate change. Nats/Feds delayed climate action with false promise of seeking 'consensus'. As soon as they had the power they ditched He Waka Eke Noa and 'Zero Carbon Act'. Don't get fooled again.

If there's one thing I learned in my brief career as a lobbyist, it's that the most important things in any approach are persistence and diversity: You've gotta keep pressing MPs and Ministers, and you've gotta do it through as many different avenues as you can. #NZPOL
Re my last repost (about this open letter), I just want to say that my regular point about ActionStation petitions not necessarily being the best way to go doesn't apply here - this is an open letter to the Minister, rather than a petition. And that's exactly what ActionStation IS ideal for! #NZPOL
