Luxon wants to sell or exchange up to 67% of NZ's conservation lands
National say they will "unleash growth". That may be by selling / exchanging 5 million hectares of conservation land, much of it with "high ecological value" - representing 2/3 of the entire estate.
It's true - Luxon & National want to sell or exchange up to 67% of NZ's conservation lands
The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment states:
βThis proposal would represent a major change to New Zealand conservation law...The vast majority of this land is of high ecological value.β

>> Without a Godwin's Law breach, I recall the Nazis occupying Paris in WWII required households with a radio receiver to be registered. Then that database was used to identify (and round up for deportation) residents with 'Jewish-sounding names'.
Data gathered for one purpose, used for another.

My concern about RUC is not mainly about cost, though the current first-cut proposal seems inequitable towards EV drivers
My concern is more that any future universal RUC system is likely to be GPS-based and that essentially means a govt surveillance device in each and every car

@LewSOS
Yes buying RUC periodically by the thousand k is a pain. Yes there are problems with RUC evasion for switched 4x4s. No these are not good enough reasons to just blindly accept that the govt gets to know where your car is 100% of the time and do with that information as it wishes

A big reason that the KΔinga Ora houses built under Labour "cost more" than standard builds is because they were all made to spec for disabled people to be able to live in them. So now if Chris Bishop builds any houses they will make them inaccessible because they don't care about disabled #NZPol

Thomas Coughlan NZ Herald editor Aug 2024 claims βrock star economy is backβ
A year ago NZ Herald political editor claimed the βrockstar economy was backβ. Today: 500,000 NZers reliant on food parcels. $200m subsidy to oil cos; $300m subsidy to tobacco co. Public health in crisis. War on Nature in full swing. Gore drinking water poisoned by dairy. Cost of living worse.

YouTube Video from the act party titled ' David vs the media : we shouldn't reward hamas for a disgusting terror attack' the video is david seymour speaking with media in parliament
Reposting this with the context that this was David Seymour's concern TODAY. Two years of genocide and man made starvation and he's verbatim quoting the man who leads the country causing it. Disgusting. #nzpol
