The case for voting Green
I’m not a member of the Green Party, but they're getting my vote. Here’s why.

Worried that the super rich should pay the same as regular New Zealanders? The nats, act and NZ Fist will work together to protect the super rich at the expense of all of us.

These billionaires could do so much good in the world and still be billionaires, were it not for their insatiable hunger for more power and wealth. They are horrible human beings, undeserving of holding stewardship over such a powerful technology that can destabilize society.

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused

. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of

Look. What I say to you is this. Steady on now. We may have announced a solar policy hobbled by short term lending making it crap, but we still hate EVs. Don't worry, our climate credentials are still spelt with an L an N and G.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

National's solar loans scheme numbers with a 10 yr loan. Real consumption date across eight homes, modelled 5kW solar set up. Loan at 4.5%. Yr 1 costs outweigh savings by $170. Yr 3 saving of $2.92! Yr 7 before total savings outweigh total costs. 1/2 20 yr loan numbers in 2/2

Aaaggghhh! National's solar loans policy is so badly designed it wrecks what should be an excellent scheme. I work in this area and the math doesn't lie. Paying off a ten year loan costs more than you save for around the first six years. Twenty year loans deliver immediate net savings.

Back on track: People can’t afford to eat. People can’t afford to heat their homes. 10s of 1000s of kids are hospitalised and their health permanently damaged as a result. The highest levels of homelessness. High engineered unemployment.

Look. What I say to you is this. Our dear FTA counterparties in the UK and Europe are seeing record temperatures and god knows how much excess death as a result of climate change. The New Zealand govt couldn't care fkn less about climate change. We're all about farmers and LNG.

It’s good that more people in power are waking up to the need to take adaptation to climate impacts seriously. But it must not be at the expense of every possible action on mitigation. As the UK and Europe endure more record high temperatures, these words from

Fewer deaths from air pollution and proceed with Wellington's Golden Mile? Or keep the status quo of cars, pollution and death. Absolutely. Positively. Shitty.

Look. What I say to you is this. Step one of trickle down economics is the accumulation of wealth by a few ultra wealthy individuals and corporations. We're doing all we can to accelerate that wealth transfer from ordinary people to the ultra rich. Only then can it trickle down.

Chippy should steal this as it puts back much of what the nats themselves took away from the scheme as introduced by Cullen. The only problem is you just know the hard right, so the current iteration of the nats, will use it as cover to destroy Super as we know it.
