Mind blowing.
The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.

National ‘Labour spends too much on consultants’
Also National ‘we will spend more’
Also National ‘we will spend more’
Comment: Minister Judith Collins has relaxed constraints on consultants spend, after the public sector massively over-delivered on promised spending cuts ... and the Govt work-rate slowed accordingly.
Public spend on consultants slashed – but not to those embedded deep in govt

The jobless rate could rise to almost 6% if employers give up on waiting for the ‘growth, growth, growth’ recovery & sack workers they’ve been ‘hoarding’. + NZTA says costs on its Ōtaki to north of Levin RONS have blown out to $87.5m/km. That's >double the average cost of the last eight RONS. #nzpol

Much like Cassandra, giving warnings out loud still leads to disaster, but:
We need free RAT tests
We need Covid booster uptake - and availability for under 30s
We need clean air
We need to encourage masking
We need media reporting
Our health system is at breaking point now - and a wave will come.
