Simon Watts saying the levy the govt called a levy in its own media release documents isn't a levy, having also said that a charge set against all users to pay for something government is building isn't a tax is a new low point for "words don't mean anything any more".

Just a reminder that all policy positions are ones that have consequences, and none are neutral. All have outputs, outcomes, & externalities.
This policy decision was positioned as more 'natural' but using status quo market forces is itself a conscious policy decision

The High Court decision stands!
Paul Goldsmith tells me today he has decided not to appeal this decision.
"I didn't see the point of dragging it out for more months and more expense."

Just got an email from Chris Bishop, wearing his hat as Chair of the National Party Campaign Cttee. He relies on donations from businesses to run a successful election campaign. He is also the decision making Minister giving businesses access to the fast track.

Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...
Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?

As is now plain to see the fossil fuel industry controls the NZ Luxon Govt. Not only is Luxon taxing us to pay for an LNG import facility, he is opening the door to taxpayers paying the decommissioning costs of old oil fields. This is the story of how they did it: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

The Govt claims to be pro-market yet: $200m subsidy for oil exploration; Uncapped subsidies to decommission old oil fields; $1billion subsidy for LNG imports; Fonterra faces zero price for emissions under ETS. There is a pattern here. They are using the state to support and subsidise pollution.

This Luxon gas scheme feels dodgy, like he needed to lock it now just in case they lose election. The minister says it could be online by next winter , this, the same gov that couldn't even run a roadcone tip line.. #nzpol

Kiwis have been harping on about NZ as a low productivity nation for almost as long as we have been warning about climate change...
Just as the Manu is our unofficial summer sport, kicking the can down the road is our national pastime - make it an olympic sport, NZ Gold every time.

The opposite of this
NZ's low productivity (gap between value of inputs and outputs) is the primary reason why our self-ideation as a prosperous country able to provide a good life for everyone fails to match reality
Workers are largely victims of it, and we should demand better productivity

Our obsession with productivity is psychotic.
Because there's never enough productivity.
If you work hard, they want you to work even harder.
Making a line go up for the sake of making a line go up is just flawed.

The takeaway here is the declaration that Goldsmith ran a shoddy process that was inconsistent with some mandatory statutory criteria in the appointment of two high ranking tribunal members stands. And we're entitled to take that into account when assessing how Goldsmith does his job.
