NZ Bans tiny Fruit stickers MEANWHILE in India…
This is how solid waste management is “managed” in Cuddalore district Thittakudi Bellaru India. Don’t worry though as our great PM is going to save the world one fruit sticker at a time.

The ‘BLOOD Battery’ in Your Electric Car
It’s striking just how thoroughly bourgeois is the climate change phenomenon, at every level from the Eton old boys behind Extinction Rebellion to the Greens-voting wealthy inner suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney. Climate change is the ultimate first-world problem, the almost exclusive preserve of the anxious middle-classes. The sort
Why Sustainable New Zealand?

Letter to the Editor: Eugenie Sage’s Closed Mind
Dear Editor I must credit Hon W. Peters with having some concern for the environment. He has announced a fund, small in relation to the problem, but nevertheless a significant amount. Social pressure on the MPs by concerned conservationists (real people, not DoC staff) has resulted in finance to research
Eco-Fanatics Prefer the Poor go Blind and Die
I read the Guardian so you don’t have to. Mostly, it’s a labour of very little love. But occasionally it manages to actually surprise me – in a good way. One such happy surprise is the following story, in which the Grauniad almost manages to admit that Greenpeace is

We Matter & We Are NOT Being Listened To
50 Shades of Green – NZ Eve McCallum On the 14th of November, a group of New Zealand Farmers protested in Wellington. This copy of the speech notes of Eve McCallum was taken from the 50 Shades of Green Facebook page. We are real people, we are families, and we are
$400,000 a Year for Doing NOTHING
Xbolt Just read this speech from a Farmer (Mr Lincoln Grant) who was at the protest this week outside Parliament. It’s a bit long but interesting. The ETS scheme is a rort of magnitude 10. Shame on any Government that participates. I am Lincoln Grant. We farm a 600ha

Meet Marcail Parkinson, today’s crybaby of the week and a normal teen, especially when it comes to wailing on about plastic. Walking down a supermarket aisle lined with plastic wrappers is enough to set off “massive anxiety” for Marcail Parkinson. The 17-year-old Auckland high school student feels dread, and
Grubby Greens Pile Insults on Firefighter Heroes
The Greens really are a party of opportunistic grubs. As if they hadn’t scraped the bottom of their slimy barrel of phony sanctimony already when they fell over themselves to exploit the terrible bushfires in Queensland and NSW, the Greens had to sink one step lower into the ooze.

The ‘Progressive’ State’s Power Politics Just Got Funnier
The clown show that is Australia’s most “progressive” state and its failing, ruinously expensive electricity market just keeps getting funnier. It’s like a little Venezuela, right on our doorstep. As I recently reported, Victorians are going to be very lucky to escape massive power shortages this summer, and
