Confusion reigns as climate minister appears unaware of own announcement
The Govt says it rejected the Climate Change Commission's advice a month ago, but the commission says it hasn't heard anything from the Govt.

RNZ Anneke Smith article is a National Party PR puff piece. Where is opposition comment?
“Coalition lauds 38k fewer victims of violent crime.”
When Luxon came into Govt they changed victimisation stats removing domestic & MH call-outs.
No one truly believes crime is down here do they? #nzpol

Who knew having a strategically shaved Tribble as PM in a time of crisis could end so horrendously.
Remembering the hit of fear as Italians I respect immensely told me in early March that "you must lock down ASAP". While the British government said these were "populist – non-science based – measures that aren't any use" and "they're who not to follow".

There are three main ways you can help my work with Rights Aotearoa:
First, you can tip me coffee money directly at:

Maybe don't keep announcing unaffordable trophy roads if you can't pay for them. Just a thought.
Hard choices lie ahead, Bishop says, as he explains funding the $56 billion in motorways promised by the Government would require a nearly 50c per litre lift in petrol taxes.

It's always so gratifying when our Centrist Left politicians pander to the Right rather than having the spine to implement agreed, popular policies.
And then they wonder why Everyone Hates Them.
