4/ What I did not do was build my own little NZ business from the ground up..... 5/ My mate John Key gave me leg-up into parliament .
There is a very interesting series of 5 articles by Eugenie Bingham running at the moment on Stuffs The Post. It is a close look at the work of Predatorfree Ltd 2050 since its inception. https://www.thepost.co.nz/a/nz-news/350096235/how-noble-goal-...
And TOP , who will work with either main party ?
And now this huge rip off by businesses.. leaving us with a whole lot of immigrant workers that clearly were not needed! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/accredited-employer-work-visa-exploitation-allegations-immigration-minister-andrew-little-orders...
No comments have been facilitated for this article in this morning’s NZ Herald. Wondering what Kiwi reaction is. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/long-standing-use-of-russian-fishing-crews-on-new-zealand-flagged-boats-raises-questions-as-war-rages-in-ukraine/...
I can remember Northland topping 19% unemployed back in the 80,s and that was with out a pandemic and climate change moves to complicate things.
Yes Weka, what is going to earn the export dollar instead, is the question. Destocking is not all bad because many farmers find that with it comes less input costs and improved individual animal returns. From the food we produce – animal or plant – more ...
I agree with his philosophies but there is still a big answer needed about who is then going to make the money the rest of NZ needs - particularly the ones in urban areas. - to go on living the good NZ life. NZ has been built on the production and ...
That has crossed my mind too... Also I have had first hand experience of a young Indian who, while claiming to be christian, knew very well he was from the Brahmin caste. He was extremely arrogant and condescending about others intellectual capacities ( ...
If NZ is still importing palm kernel to feed the diary cows - know that the palm kernel they are buying was always placed back on the ground under the palm trees to rot down and feed the next crops. I saw that first hand and am dismayed palm kernel was ...
Actually the majority of people do not have strong visionary ability and will not change their ways much because of this. The other problem is, as covid has proved, they all want to get back to normal FREE life, not rearrange their lives to help reduce our...
Let it go ? If you mean effective pest control, no, but pest control must be continuous and long term to be effective. Actually our professional trappers and hunters, when allowed to ( ie properly paid and invited to do so ) have already proved they can ...
We have ways and tools to pest control enough … Predatorfree Ltd would be better turning to designing schemes that properly coordinate pest control along with compliance and regulations. Councils need pushing to start landscape monitoring and directing ...
Did not the Iwi around Waikaremoana refuse 1080 control ? When an Iwi does that they get no funding for pest control and most simply cannot afford to fund it themselves. They need to be funded about $10 per hectare to continue pest control when numbers are...
Was in a hard copy letter sent to the owner.
The purpose of the one year trial was to test the PFLtd2050 target of ZERO pests, using the enviroMate100TM and SA200 traps, so no bird studies were undertaken. Anyway the property had been under pest suppression for the previous 20 yrs. Identifying the ...
While the NZ tax payer is expansively funding “ Jobs for Nature” trainees there are many self employed, fully equipped, very experienced and proven pest control professionals out there now who cannot find regular work and the work they do undertake is ...
Someone did the mahi years ago and developed virtually all that was needed for possums , rodents, mustelids and cats, but it has been steadfastly ignored. It does not have to cost billions to reach a predator free Stewart Island BUT there are businesses ...
Thankyou for this dissertation on Putin and his fixation on the “borderlands” of Russia. I found your clarity very helpful and expanded on and reinforced what I had already partially pieced together. I thought the photo and caption at the end very ...
We knew back in the 80s, and clamoured, when diary farmers were moving south and converting sheep farms to dairy farms that it was not the right way to use Canterbury,s porous soils... but what did the governments and regional councils of the day do to ...
I hope you ate the garlic'd chickens quickly. My vege garden is ring fenced - no chickens, no ducks, no rabbits can enter. You could probably grow garlic as a pot plant.
What I am doing about garlic is growing my own .... Its very easy to grow but of course you need a bit of dirt to grow it and not everyone has that. I read once that garlic uptakes toxic elements very readily - thats why I grow my own and not buy the cheap...
“God send trials not to impair us but to improve us” I see now as a time of opportunity for new business to develop in the gaps and cracks that are now appearing and making NZ vulnerable because so much production has gone offshore (the likes of F&P) or ...
Yes a move in the right direction... and I wonder how many of 2.1 mil people eligible are already on some kind of government hand out / benefit.
Well TOP does not seem to agree with you. "The $350 cash transfer to people earning under $70,000 will be of great interest to TOP supporters. It’s not quite universal as it excludes those who already receive the Winter Energy Payment. But with 2.1m people...
I see TOP in the mix as beneficial. It is committed to Climate Change action and what Labour has done re the $350 handout is well on the way to UBI, in fact almost a trial run.. TOP would bring "freshness" to a tired old Labour led government.. Labour ...
“What I find relevant to the world is a state that is started a undeclared war by launching an invasion on a neighbouring state, and threatening their usage of nuclear weapons for any state that interferes with their attack.” As I see it too and when you ...
It does not need extreme over-reactions to rebalance NZ farming and it does not need us to go “plant based.” First it would be very “healing” for NZ farmers to have it acknowledged that many of the farming practises today were actually researched and ...
Yes it is , absolutely obscene. The answer Kiwis, is do not sell to a non New Zealander nor to a "New Zealander" not born in New Zealand. Hold our land because it seems to me now that we have a nicely developed country the rich of the world are saying ...
The dairy factory at Whareroa, three kilometres south of Hawera in South Taranaki, is the world's largest dairy processing complex on one site. Operations began on the site in August 1973 at this factory. The local cheese factory near our farm opened in ...
The small diary factories were just that, small , and they usually only produced one product . With transport improving milk was able to be moved to bigger factories which in the beginning produced three or four products Finally we have the mega factories ...
