So Nicola Willis decided to run an RBNZ Covid inquiry, delayed it 8 months in time for the full election year run and is making us taxpayers pay $500,000 for her presumable hit job.
She said she couldn't find the right people as the reason for delays, then got an Atlas Network adjacent guy #nzpol

There's been this hit job on the Green Party by ACT's NZCPR, claiming money was "stolen" from water infrastructure for cycleways.
In fact, their Council invested significantly, more than others over decades.

These mining fast-track applicants don't appear to genuinely benefit New Zealand.
Removing limited resources, returning 2-5% royalties, and paying no tax.
Then we get lugged with clean up costs (like Tui oilfields that cost $500m for taxpayers to clean up)

#nzpol same lies being told all over the world. It’s almost as if there’s a common source
Let's do some quick simple math. We are told that the data center boom will be powered by natural gas (methane) in the US. Even thought methane is a climate killer and gas power is much more expensive than renewables.
However, we are being told this is the only way forward.
It is a lie.
