IF it has transferred through the aircon then obviously not
I understand 'social distancing' applies in MIQ irrespective of time arrived i.e. between and within groups
A long(ish) and instructive read...the rules of the game. https://michael-hudson.com/2021/01/the-rentier-resurgence-and-takeover-finance-capitalism-vs-industrial-capitalism/
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/27/keep-covid-rescue-programmes-or-risk-triggering-stock-market-crash-warns-imf And there you have it.....all pretence gone.
Conflict of interests? https://www.newsroom.co.nz/agency-ambitions-spark-tourism-turf-war "Tourism has been of huge importance to the country, pre-Covid, as our biggest export earner and the direct employer of 225,000 people. Before the pandemic took hold,...
"Opportnuity to un-do rogernomics would be more persuasive." Then take it.
Where in the article is there any positive reinforcemnt of the effects of 'Rogernomics'.?...time for some rational thought
yes he was...as was Stalin...as said, it dosnt mean you support the vision, but democracy allows us to decide which visions are implemented....if we engage
you dont like the 'framing'...thats fine, it isnt aimed at you..its aimed at those who dont wish to risk that which they have (opposed to change) ...if you look at the demographics of the climate change recalcitrants they are overwhelmingly National and ...
Using the 80s reforms (rogernomics) to quantify the scale of change needed is sensible especially as many of those required to drive that change are the beneficiaries of those rerforms....they will be encouraged to accept that change as an opportunity.
"Climate Change Minister James Shaw has said he thinks many people will be shocked by how much New Zealand needs to cut its emissions. But the alternative – inaction and climate catastrophe – would be worse." The worse is indeed spelt out
Why?...to do it better. Those same people you refer too are likely the same people who have been calling for the reversal of Rogernomics since its implementation....are you telling them they must continue to rely on incrementalism?....thats what weve had ...
Assume you havn't read the article..... "The shifts required to run our economy without fossil fuels will make the economic changes of the late 1980s “look like a trial period”, in the words of Climate Change Commission chair Rod Carr." cant see 'worse' ...
@ Solkta Unfortunately that is what it is widely defined as in NZ....and it serves as shorthand for a complexity that most over a certain age understand.
Again.. visionary adjective UK /ˈvɪʒ.ən.ri/ US /ˈvɪʒ.er.i/ visionary adjective (ABLE TO IMAGINE THE FUTURE) with the ability to imagine how a country, society, industry, etc. will develop in the future: There is no denying Douglas (et al) had a vision for ...
Yes weka, I know what framing means...do you know what yardstick means? However people experienced Rogernomics they will know they have done it before and can do it again....the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown. visionary adjective UK /ˈvɪʒ.ən.ri/ ...
Using the example of Rogernomics as a yardstick for the level of change required is logical in the NZ context as there is nothing else within living memory to use as a comparison....whatever anyone thinks of those reforms there is no doubt it was visionary...
Or we can carry on pretending that nothing really has to change
Ah..ic...so many acronyms its hard to keep up
jfc??? and .. "This time, Carr and his fellow commissioners (and the governments that receive their advice) will need to succeed where leaders of the 1980s failed, by transforming the country without the mass pain and job losses that accompanied ...
"The biggest economic transformation since the 1980s is coming – and many of us don’t even know it." Rather, it should be, but time will tell if they have the vision (and will) to implement it. https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/124001781/the...
"And then you'd never get to have to do all of them, most places are at a relatively low risk really." The sourced data from the Seametrics link would suggest otherwise
Your example...If Auckland needs to build a desal plant to ensure its water security will it build one that only provides for 20 or 50% of its needs?....Id suggest not.
"there will never be a need to build 'a million' plants all at once." No , I was being generous....closer to 2 million (at current average scale) within the next 20 years to supply close on a 100% of reliable 'drinking' water
You continue to miss the point...by all means build another million desalination plants (and the energy capacity to operate them and all in a decade or two) if you think you can but will that provide water for the environment?...no, it MAY provide drinking...
There are currently around 20,000 desalination plants in the world and they supply around 1% of current DRINKING water. We will not build our way out of these problems, even if you choose to ignore the externalities
70 % of potable water is used for irrigation https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/news/ocean-desalination-no-solution-water-shortages
Potable water....more critical than even food, we are in trouble. https://www.seametrics.com/blog/global-water-crisis-facts/
First hundred days?....its now 98 days since the election.
"Ardern told her MPs action was coming, but not for several more months. The Cabinet would not complete its review of housing demand settings until late February, and all she would say about new housing supply was that it was likely in the Budget in May." ...
Yes , the stats are difficult reading but that wasnt my point (and it may be premature in any case, the organisation is still state led)....I was suggesting that rather than Maori highlighting the failings of the state organisation, it is likely that the ...
