Aotearoa is home to almost 28,000 species found nowhere else on Earth. To fast-track hazardous chemicals in New Zealand — as BusinessNZ is proposing — risks this unique biodiversity, the health of our communities, and our reputation as an exporter.

"What I'm saying is that we need to have a serious conversa"

I'll cut you off there Luxon. You've yet to have a serious conversation, you know, one that actually involves LISTENING TO THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CONVERSATION, since before you got handed the MP seat in Botany.

So they're going to gut all attempts to try and mitigate climate change and then abdicate all government responsibility for the consequences of their decisions

So the government refuses to lift a finger on cutting emissions and is rolling back climate action, now they're making sure that they don't have to lift a finger in helping Kiwis deal with the results of their inaction. May their houses all be on floodplains
Disgusting.

Unlike other countries we're not really having this conversation bc our govt is busy sucking up to the current US govt but as Paris points out, all that's really changed is the messaging not the way the UD uses it's tech dominance to expert influence and control #nzpol

At every turn, the Government has opted for whatever would actually lead to more pollution and a warmer world – even if it costs more, jeopardises NZ’s reputation, overturns a campaign promise or clashes with the Government’s other priorities.
