Did the New Zealand government parties work this way through the two world wars too ? I liken the Pandemic to a war and this warring between the parties at a time when we all need to work more together has greatly disappointed me .
So a clear why would help to make it understandable... Is the Aucklanders that they say ran to their baches, is it to stop drug running , is it not enough scanning in, is it not enough police to control a north border as well as a south border. What is it ...
One is left wondering if there is an undisclosed reason for this .... maybe drug runners and the self excluded Aucklanders.
Yes Northland lumped in with Auckland is quite disappointing when you realise that Warkworth is part of the Auckland area not Northland. There are no cases in Northland and the sensible place to hold a border would be Te Hana - with just a short strip to ...
Way back Ghandi was projecting a future "Gandhi rejected the modern industrial-urban concept of development for its anti-democratic, anti-humanitarian, and exploitative features. In its place Gandhi offers the ideal of the economically self-sufficient, ...
I would have to buy a new phone and then do I have to also buy data for that app to work.? Think I will sign in the book.
Yes Robert , The natural fertility builds up with rotational grazing… this was the way we ( my husband and I and other young farmers ) were farming fifty years ago – before us my great grandfather, my grandfather and my father, until agricultural ...
“ examining the new regulations, piece by piece, to see if they are actually fit for purpose,” This is exactly what the farmers are asking – and this time do it collaboratively with the real farmers and stewards of NZs farmlands. AND also recognise and ...
Yes Anne, both the Climate Calamity and Covid suppression are requiring a lot of restraint , re-evaluation and adjustment to the way we have been living on earth. In a perverse way Covid is accelerating the acknowledgement that we have passed the natural ...
I agree with you ... and a parent at home while the children grow to instil these values / qualities.
We have Covid and its restrictions we have Climate Change requiring us to pull our strings in. Good time to start doing that right - Start learning to live within our environmental means ... Start consolidating or down sizing . Start working with the ...
Weka wrote “ We desperately need cogent and hopeful visions of where we can go next.” Adrian Thornton wrote “The only way out of this climate disaster is for absolutely everyone within all our communities throughout this country (and around the world ) be ...
Thank you .... you said it all for me, and it starts at the bottom , each one of us must evaluate - like tomorrow- the way we are living our lives then rearrange it to fit earths needs. Simple things, and seeing electricity is on everyones mind today - how...
The value of the ability to preceive NEED over the things you think you need. (remember Dr Seuss's The Lorax " ) The value of getting to know thy neighbour - love thy neighbour, being inclusive not exclusive ....
"I may be wrong, but I feel our values have begun to shift back to more community thinking." Maybe there is a shift . People shifting away from the cities ? The tide that emptied out the rural townships may have turned. Centralisation of so many services ...
Multitaskers – as the 3 old tradesmen brothers from Wyndham who featured on Seven Sharp earlier this week are – would largely replace undue specialisation in smaller communities and that 16 yr old I mentioned before would find rewarding pathways.
We need UBI. We need education to be free and unrestricted again. Eg: I know of a 16 yr old , who won,t return to school, who would do well in a trade but can,t get underway because he doesn’t have a school “qualification “ to start to become qualified at ...

The link to GETS that you refer to is in fact a time wasting exercise for the private inventor of resolved pest control tools. It is a convoluted way the Predator Free collective goes about getting funds and the ideas they need to help them with specific ...
Your problem lies maybe here https://www.doc.govt.nz/globalassets/documents/conservation/threats-and-impacts/pf2050/pf2050-5-year-progress-report.pdf This comment on page 19 you should find particularly revealing : “Accelerate: Applying Predator Free 2050 ...
Thank god for some of that technology - I use skype - to travel around half the world every night - separated now for a year by regulations.
You say “Environmentalists blame farming practices along with climate change for the drought, “ I blame unfettered human populations that need more and more food to survive. Farmers’ current offending farming practises are the result of our scientists ...
And while cartoonist are onto this one - at last - Richard Branson is chasing, now promoting , another rainbow that the earth does not need. His rocket rides! I just don,t get it !
If they are going to invest to improve sustainability in NZ , like replace all the imported pet food and pet litter products with NZ developed and made product, YES. If it is about more tourism , space stuff and unnecessary technology NO. If it is buying ...

“Yummy Fruit Company general manager Paul Paynter said the ongoing need for MIQ was a "train wreck" for growers. We have already spent $600,000 to bring 82 RSE workers through MIQ," he said. We are already 20 per cent up on labour costs. Our total labour ...
Question . Why are these people being paid tax payers' money to claim information that anyone working in the field has known for a very long time. Check out facebook.com/automatedbaitstation The most recent post is about the extraordinary level of ...
Many farmers are smelling another agenda as well.
“Freely educate “ is the key point here. Grand plans are already in motion to change the farmers ways! It involves a lot of new “shiny bums “ at regional council level to go out and help/consult with farmers who are now each required to prepare and produce...
For all the years of my life I have lived on the land. My grandfather’s generation farmed on the natural fertility of the land after clearing and burning the bush. They used the “natural “ methods that came with them from England. I saw my father’s ...
