I don't believe that tinkering around the edges does anything useful, no matter how rose tinted your goggles are.

That's the crux of the argument. Will covering our share of emissions put us in a better position to change the big emitters actions or will it just harm our economy for nothing. Seriously, how do you think NZ should "hammer China and India" on climate change as you say?

NZ personally does not hammer China. That would be stupid. If the UN wants to do something, maybe they could?
NZ doesn't need build moral authority by banning plastic bags. We already have moral authority by emitting not even a percentage of total carbon emissions.

In what capacity should the UN hammer them exactly and why would you think this would be effective?
Also this belief of yours that per-capitaI emissions don't matter & NZ 'playing their part' effort is a waste of time is very much a wacky talk-back radio opinion. National doesn't think this. Shit here's some Beef + Lamb New Zealand twat. Quote:

Classic CCS! Next time don't beat around the bush. You don't give a shit about high polluting countries AND you don't give a crap about per-capita emissions.
It's talk back radio rubbish because outside of the sub 1% Act Party that's the only place you'll hear it. Get with the program, the over-whelming majority of NZs DO give a shit about high polluting countries & DO appreciate that we need to do our part.

I just hope that Bridges stays the Nats leader after the election.

He will stay the Nats leader, but if they win he won't be Prime Minister.
They are extremely unlikely to reach 50% they will need to govern, and Peters will not likely side with National. With one exception if they actually offered him Prime Minister. So we might have a Nats/NZF coalition with Peters as PM. That's why I don't believe they will roll Bridges before the election. |

Most of the post was a bit of a complain about how Question Time seems like a bit of a waste of resources and it would be good if there were some more controls aside from relying on a good speaker (which Mallard is not). The other bit I pointed out was around Nationals twitter account; which that article suggested was a way for National to gloat about how they tripped up Jacinda in parliament. An analysis of their paltry 16k following suggested they had about 37% fake/inactive accounts following them, and I suggested that the remaining 63% would be so partisan that gloating would have no net effect on Nationals support base. Its unfortunate for us that time wasting and point scoring seem to be genuine strategies for opposition (this also applies to Labour when they were in opposition).

I just think NZ's politicians can't be fucked.
The way NZ politics turns over fairly consistently, the government can anticipate being in opposition and the opposition can anticipate being in government. If you're laying on too hard in opposition then you'll have to put up with the same in power.

If you needed another reason to not vote National while Bridges is in charge...

Ah, what am I talking about. That's surely just misinformation. National probably has some more palatable "facts" up it's sleeve.

The "politicisation of the public service" clusterfuck rolls on. Never tell the Minister bad news, and always support whatever the Minister says.

I'm sure all parties are guilty of it, but National cranked that shit. Has anyone forgotten the DHB members resigning, citing National's demand for positive news?

I mean, yeah, sure, you can find other instances. But New Zealand just went through 10 years where unless the truth just happened to coincide with National's goals, it was a worthless consideration. We've felt that, it shows.

The politicisation of the public service conducted by Helen Clark’s Labour government was undoubtedly welcomed when National inherited the outcome.

Sorry, I'm not handling post-truth society well. It took me weeks to sleep right after reading 1984. Mainly because of how terrifying the idea of a truthless society was.

My opinion is that the public service was turned into a party-political instrument by the Clark government - the most egregious examples being those of the Madeline Setchell and Erin Leigh incidents, each of them "handled" for Labour by the current Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard - and that the subsequent National government was happy to utilise the tool it had been given. etc etc.

Those are the facts. They are facts by National's definition.

Apparently so, in absolute terms. In terms relative to population it's increasing sharply, the last peak being the 90s.
