A major new government campaign to convince companies to cut down on their carbon emissions has splashed the cash in a big-budget one million dollar production. The 90-second long ad opens with Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I have a dream’ speech (which has NOTHING to do with
I honestly cannot see the point of the Zero Carbon Bill. For a country that produces 0.17% of global emissions, and whose farmers are the most efficient and productive in the world, it just makes no sense. Why hamstring our economy for a rate of emissions that would make

The BFD has canvased the EV battery disposal problem here: https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/09/troy-runs-the-jag-off-the-road/ Dr Woods wants us to build 4.5 windfarms per year. Very fortunately, this is another CoL target that is being comprehensively missed as no one wants
Vancouver was once the mecca for foreign money, which resulted in skyrocketing home prices, a bit like Auckland was until the foreign buyer ban. However, the worm has turned and now real estate developers are panicking as homes go unsold. Sounds like Kiwibuild, except the developers here had Phil and,

There is another climate jolly in the wings. All the movers and shakers need to urgently fly to New York for a talkfest at the UN Climate Action Summit. Also, there are the climate activists and school children who are going to bunk off school for a climate strike later
It all kicked off with a great opinion piece in the Herald. https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/09/nz-herald-tells-the-truth/ Peter Williams followed up on his radio show with an interview with Genter where she was totally outclassed as she deflected, distracted and denied. https://thebfd.co.
In the above interview, Julie Anne Genter (to use a vulgar phrase) got her arse handed to her by the very polite Peter Williams. She was asked about points made in Troy Bowker’s NZ Herald article and her response was that it was fake news and that it is
