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.

Here's some political wisdom for people in NZ.
Whether you announce a tiny capital gains tax with a ton of exemptions pinned to a minor healthcare upgrade. Or whether you announce a massive capital gains tax and promise free healthcare for all, you will get the exact same response from the right.

Well I was wondering what the retribution for the cancel party the coalition did at the start of their term needed to be. Rug pulling Collins' arms deals & any gas exploration seems a good start.

Mystified how the energy market & how capacity isn't getting built in NZ stories don't all start with "generation in NZ is financially rewarded for closely matching supply & demand, so it not being built as demand goes up sure is a puzzler!"
