letter to the editor letters

Dear Editor,

Hi, my name is Benjamin and I am twelve years old.

I am writing this letter to say that, unlike my peers, I’m excited about climate change.

Why? Well, I’ve always wanted to live on a farm and I also want to visit Antarctica. So I’m thinking: surely by the time I’m 30 Antarctica would have thawed out enough to be suitable for farming.

So when that happens I’d like to build a boat, load it with animals (Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Horses and more) and seeds, and then set sail!

OK, I’ll admit there are probably a few flaws in my plan but I have about 18 more years to fix them.

So many people of my age seem to be panicking about climate change but I believe that God has everything sorted and that, instead of panicking, we should be thinking about how we can adapt to changes in available land.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

– Jeremiah 29:11 ESV

Regards,

Benjamin.

Hīkoi No More Than a Hiccup

The politicians, particularly those on the right, with the exception of ACT, need to realise that those who put them in power did so in the belief the necessary courage was there to fix this festering sore. We are now left in doubt and that is not good enough.

What Does the Treaty Hīkoi Signify?

National could, under urgency, progress Seymour’s bill to second reading and vote it down, but this would put immense strain on the coalition, which is supposed to operate based on good faith and Cabinet consensus. An early election could be provoked, leading to National bleeding votes to ACT.
