Green Party says overstayer amnesty a priority if Labour wants its support after election

The Green Party says an amnesty for overstayers will be a priority if Labour wants its support after the election as it is revealed the Immigration Minister has further delayed implementing the policy.

Pacific leaders and advocates of migrant communities have long been calling for an amnesty and pathways to residency with an estimated 14,000 people living illegally in New Zealand, some still being subjected to dawn immigration raids.

Let's try a little more Green Blackmail to see if the sleeping Labour Front Bench open their ears - seeing as the Wealth Tax Hissy fit didn't do the trick

Too disgusting...

King’s Counsel patent lawyer says Green Party’s Barbie political memes could breach copyright

A top patent lawyer says the Green Party could face serious consequences over their use of Barbie movie memes on their social media pages.

Clive Elliott KC, a past president of the Intellectual Property Society of Australia and New Zealand (Ipsanz), told the Herald unless political parties have a license from the creator of the content, they’re not entitled to use it.

“It doesn’t matter who created the work and it’s not a question of the quality of the work, it’s that if someone has created a work, they own the copyright in it and they’re entitled to control who actually uses it.”

A Green Party spokesperson confirmed the party hadn’t sought permission from Barbie’s studio Warner Bros. to “make memes”, but said it sometimes “remixes popular memes to communicate with the public, particularly young people”.

Green's meme BS looks like landing the cabbage munchers in a pile of larger BS .. bring it on

Let's face it - why would any self respecting Barbie want to be linked in any way to this clueless bunch of backwards facing Political retards

If asked nicely, maybe Warner could find some discarded Cry Baby stuff that could be painted bright green at a large cost

Recycling ‘a fraud’ and food scraps collection ‘subsidised greenwashing’, landfill engineer says

Recycling in New Zealand is “essentially a fraud” and food scraps diversion from landfills is “subsidised greenwashing”, a landfill expert tells BusinessDesk.

Waste Management chemical engineer Timothy Brake said “we can’t recycle our way out of the climate crisis”.

He said only a small fraction of our rubbish is recycled, and when it is, it’s often a mere delay to it ending in landfills, shedding microplastics in the environment in the process, he said.

Recycling a plastic drink bottle into meat trays, for example, he says delays the disposal of the plastic from the drink bottle by about a couple of weeks.

“We haven’t solved any of our problems by delaying the process.

”Recycling in the circular economy is essentially a fraud. And there is no point in removing food scraps from modern landfill, generating extra carbon emissions through its transport to sometimes remote facilities,” Brake argues.

Food will “rot away to nothing” in landfill, he says, with each tonne generating 0.3-megawatt hours of sustainable electricity.

Probably another can of worms that Greens would be fully in support of, now being shown up by Experts

Unsavoury revelations about the inner workings of the Greens promised & expected this afternoon from one of the departing Greens’ MP.

Can’t wait!

Former Green MP, turned independent MP, Elizabeth Kerekere says she won’t be holding back as she gets ready for her valedictory speech on Wednesday afternoon.

Her speech is likely to be the most eventful this week, with Kerekere telling Stuff she wants to “set the record straight” on her fallout with the Greens.

Elizabeth Kerekere makes final speech, decrying poor process in the Green Party

Former Green MP Dr Elizabeth Kerekere bowed out of Parliament in a mostly subdued speech that made only one barb against her former party.

Kerekere resigned from the Green Party in May after a massive falling out and ahead of an investigation into her conduct following an embarrassing incident in which she appeared to call Chlöe Swarbrick a “crybaby” in a group chat. Kerekere denied the message was intended for Swarbrick.

In her valedictory speech to Parliament, Kerekere said Green co-leaders James Shaw and Marama Davidson made “unfounded and increasingly elaborate allegations about me [her]” up to her resignation.

Not too much loud squawking being emitted from this bird who jumped out of the nest to another

Did buckets of cold water get tossed over her from both camps to shut her up ?

No - she just never had anything!

Good on her for bringing into disrepute the integrity of the two Green co-leaders/conspirators - no due process and trial by innuendo & rumors.

Not surprising when you look especially at Davidson's record of spraying all and sundry who do not support her with her vile divisive, sexist and racist utterances.


https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...-kerekere-says

Excerpt : "She said she disputed “all such allegations” of bullying, and read an email from the investigation. “Dated 7.14pm Wednesday 3 May 2023 – exactly four weeks after the original incident,” she told Parliament.

Kerekere’s supporters had argued the investigation was dragged out to hurt her list ranking, an allegation the Green Party leadership denied. She said the email told her that nobody had made a formal complaint, with only Shaw and Davidson voicing concern. “To recap, no formal"

And Davidson showed just how hypocritical and nasty a person she is by leaving the kete (Maori goodwill basket) for Kerekere on the floor rather than handing it to her and wishing her well.

Don't give the gift if you are that way inclined - just pxssed off.

"The Green co-leaders waited for a few minutes, but didn’t join the queue of MPs waiting to hug Kerekere. Instead, they bowed and left the debating chamber – with Davidson leaving behind her kete."
