Labour govt 2020-23

Has everyone noticed that when Jacinda & Poto start their statements with; "I want to be very clear about this", it is a precursor to more obfuscation than North Korean peace talks?

Also, J's eye's project that false smile for the first 20 seconds, then quickly darken to "pooh, who farted"?, a la Helen Clark!

Even if you repeat this selfish nonsense endlessly - it does make it neither right nor sensible and certainly not decent.

Any single Kiwi has the same power and responsibility to improve the lot of our planet than any single Chinese, Brazilian, European or US American.

The only way to repair the planet is if we all do our lot instead of all of us pointing to the others and require them to do something.

Given that we produce per head of population more rubbish than most other nations (yes, I know, the Canadians, the Bulgarians, the US Americans and a handful others are still more wasteful ), given that we consume (per capita) more fossile fuel than most other countries and given that we are comparably quite well off (top ten percent of rich countries per capita) - why not go ahead instead of waiting for the poor nations to go ahead and give a good example?

China is a poor nation? First I've heard of it. They can - and will - continue to increase their omissions until 2030. 9 years of cooking the plant with the oven being turned up year on year, while your intense focus will be on turning 5 million NZers into a beacon of green socialism. Are you truly worried about the future of the planet or not?? You should be out of your mind over what is happening in the big polluting nations - that is where the battle is being lost and will continue to be lost. But no - you are like Napoleon being worried about winning a small skirmish between a handful of troops - it's neither here nor there, meanwhile Waterloo continues towards its inevitable conclusion. You are more concerned about pointless NZ virtual signalling than actually ensuring the survivability of the planet. Who cares if the bumper on your car has just been washed when the whole vehicle is going over the cliff?

Any single Kiwi has the same power

If 5 million Kiwi's eat plant protein and vote for Jacinda and James, that will ensure the planet doesn't cook? Ridiculous.

Green credentials pay the bills - 100% pure new zealand.

We don't need to ruin our brand.

Green credentials pay the bills -

Prostitution and drugs can do that too.

Prostitution and drugs can do that too.

I don't think it will pay the country's bills though.

What an awfull looking prospect. No steak.

NZers said no to decriminalising cannibas so no industry there.

Yes there is.

The gangs will sadly take on the recreational side.

NZ:

Votes against decriminalisation
Then complains about gangs.
