Hopefully that will be revisited and given the green light.

    Hopefully we will see some new mining projects as well. We need more exports in this country.
    Aquaculture isn't the dream industry it's made out to be, is fraught with risk and climate change is having a significant impact on the industry, I.e the massive Salmon farm that failed in the Marlborough Sounds recently due to warmer sea temperatures. Mind you as most righties don't believe in Climate Change, then there's no problem, until it's an economic failure.

    Aquaculture, depending on what it is, has also been an environmental failure with concentration of fish poo and diseased fish causing problems. Personally I prefer my fish antibiotic free and not dyed to look right.

    I'm no fan of Davidson at all.
    But let me get this straight.
    You make up a BS fable and then add, " let Marama think this one through"
    As if it's real! 😅
    Your mind does wander & I know you believe in fables, but this is beyond the pale.
    An attempt at humour? I repeat, an attempt...

    What is the Winston Rule and did James Shaw just kill it?


    Poor James (on the way out) whines about Winston interrupting 'his attempts to work out how many
    degrees' there are


    How many were mislead about the published releases on the Degrees alleged to have been held ?

    Good result for the Greens and Swarbrick will increase their appeal as long as she can keep Davidson in check.
    I don't agree with all her views, but she is highly intelligent and has a lot of integrity which is a pretty good base.
    Hopefully she can gee up the youth vote which could be decisive in any election if they actually turned out to vote.

    Swarbrick is sharp and an eloquent speaker.
    She has gone head to head with David Seymour and Winston Peters on many occasions and more than held her own.
    Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

    If she is an eloquent speaker then the bar has been well and truly lowered. Waffle more like, similar to Ardern. Plenty of noise. Not much substance.

    Same Swarbrick who thought the Greens won on election night and gave a victory speech! She woke up the next morning and realized her party was out of government. Delusional and full of BS & spin - exactly like Clueless Cindy.

    “From Wellington to Auckland city Ponsonby, our clothings will be free!”

    Can’t even take care of one of their own, Golriz, and she thinks she can take care of NZ!
