WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A QUICK FIX BY CENTRAL GOVT 20 PLUS YEARS AGO HAS DELIBERATELY BEEN LEFT UNADDRESSED

The Local Govt Act 2002 was legislated upon even though it was known there were loopholes in the Bill. We’ve heard the war cries ‘Blame the Farmers’. But the complete absence of successive Govts fixing pollution, and environmental problems of their own doings from 23 years ago (I am referring to the Local Govt Act 2002 )

Although the Govt were well aware of errors in the Local Govt Act they still passed it in the House,  legislated it. Various Councilors in NZ had pleaded with the Govt to fix the errors but ‘ fixing it was not in their ballpark’. The error in the Act meant that Councils could not issue  Infringement Fines for Trade Waste Consent Breaches. Instead it would mean  very timely costly Court prosecutions.

26th January 2021 again it was drawn to the Govts attention the concerns as to hundreds of Trade Waste Consents being breached, and no Infringement Fines could be used to deter the breaching of Consents. Instead it was advised that Councils take an Educative Approach (The Local Govt Act 2002 had been legislated on almost 20 years prior to this)

Nanaia Mahuta announced that in February 2021 the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai would be addressing Waste and other problems. Adding that it would be several years before Taumata Arowai would be able to address the loopholes in the Local Govt Act 2002.  The Advisory Board to Taumata Arowai was firstly chaired by Dame Haren Potasi. Then on 20th May 2021 the Chair became Nanaia Mahuta’s sister Tipa Mahuta.

Tipa Mahuta having served on the Waikato Regional Council. Also Co-Chair of the Waikato River Authority and the Maori Health Authority. In 2022 Ardern dodged controversial questions about Tipa Mahuta being in a pivotal role within Three Waters. Raveen Jaduram is now the Chair of the Advisory Board for Taumata Arowai

26th January 2021 Nanaia Mahuta Local Govt Minister announced that councils will take  stronger actions against companies that dump contaminated waste water – even though these loopholes still existed. RNZ articles were published revealing damming information / evidence of hundreds of Trade Waste Consent Breaches by Supermarkets * Bakeries * Takeaway Shops * Supermarkets * and other producers and manufacturers. (Even those with Brand Names)

RNZ listed publicly names of the companies/ businesses that breached their Trade Waste Consents – and how many times in one year- and under which Council. References were made to some of the following businesses/companies : The Wallace Group * Yoplait * Ernest Adams * Talleys * McCains *AFFCO * Sanfords * DB Draught Breweries * Heartland Potato Chips *Medallion Pet Food *Ovation I Sth Canterbury By-Products * Fonterra * NZ’s largest Maori Fishing Company Moana Fisheries

And even Horowhenua District Council that breaches its own consent condition that it imposed upon itself when they allowed the Levin Landfill to discharge a chemical filled liquid that was heavy in Ammonia & Nitrogen which the Wastewater Plant could not cope with. RNZ 21/2/2021 article referred to companies dumping contaminants down drains. Naming the companies.. the number breached Trade Waste Consents for each individual company and the Council they resided under. NOTING – There was no Infringement Fines.

The gory details were published as to ‘Blood red water, globs of yellow animal fat that gushed from Dunedin sewers into the Green Islans Wastewater Plant. Greasy liquid that clogged filters, coated Ultra Violet Lights used to disinfect effluent, which had to be scrubbed time and time again. It was reported this had been happening for years

The ‘Keep It Clean Plant’- Wallace Group was reported to having caused havoc on a Wastewater Plant before this water was sent out to sea off the Dunedin Coast. The same sort of scenes were playing out across NZ. An expert  that had worked in the environmental industry around trade waste for many years reported that “Once Trade Waste is dumped it can destroy Bio-diversity- Choke Rivers * Cause havoc to Marine Life.

Hundreds of companies were dumping contaminants of Blood * Fat  * Toxic Chemicals * Ammonia * Sulfides into sewers breaching Trade Waste Consents. Tauranga Council forking out $28, 606 in Clean-Up Costs for Trade Waste Consent breaches in 2019 when upmarket ..   Ziwi -Peak Petfood company racked up 12 breaches in 1 year.

Not every Council keeps track on Trade Waste Consent breaches. Some leave it to the Company/Businesses to do their own checking. So its difficult to get a true accurate picture of the actual number of Trade Waste Consent Breaches. Auckland Council Watercare refused to give out the names of the companies/businesses that had breached Trade Waste Consent Breeches or the number of Breeches that had occurred. (Saying it’s Reasons of Privacy)

For instance: Talley’s Group website describes itself as ‘Bringing you the best of NZ- Fresh Mussels pulled out of pristine waters. Fresh fish in gleaming ice buckets & smiling factory workers gently mixing peas, corn & carrots on a production line. But 4 out of 17 of Talley’s factories breached Trade waste Consents.

Two of AFFCO Plants together Breached their Oil & Grease limits, (a combination of 190 times and their Sulfide limits 519 times. AFFCo Mear Works breaching its Trade Waste Consent- 33 times in 2 years -2018-July 2020. Napier Council struggled to fix waste from AFFCO Napier site along with 21 other Trade Waste Consent Holders over the previous 5 years. Diverting waste to the City Biological Trickling Plant, that’s not designed to treat Industrial Waste (This partially treated Trade Waste was then discharged into the sea off the Napier Coast

Tasman Tanning was reported to be causing issues at the Whanganui Waste Treatment Plant. Its website declaring that “Leather- its our Nature’ that’s amid pristine landscapes & waterways. But dumps too much Chromium into the sewer. (Chromium is a heavy toxic metal). The company breaching its Chromium limits 205 times in  1 year. And clocked up 221 Sulphite * Oil and Grease Breaches over that same period

Tasman Tanning had installed a special Filter, that didn’t work therefore reported in 2021 that they would spending $1 million on a new system to filter the Chromium out of the waste water. However the company’s Timaru branch also breached Trade Waste Consents 73 times between October 2019 & August 2020. Overshooting their limits on Sulfide *Zinc * Chromium and Ammonia leaching it down the drain

RNZ reported the comments of an Expert – a Trade Waste Advisor of 20 plus years, who had worked on some of the biggest waste Water Projects in NZ & Australia– Tara Okan. He gave recognition to the huge problem of many companies/businesses in NZ and their breaching of Trade Waste Consents. Referring to ageing infrastructure * The Councils having little to no Waste Water expertise *That companies deliberately push their Consents close to the mark to ‘Maximize Profits’

Calling them Cowboys that Run Rough Shod Over NZs Environment & not wanting to fix problems only to maximize shareholder value. Adding that ‘Trade Waste is usually a lot more toxic than other waste, can cause major effects- kill rivers. Chemicals poured down drains can produce Sulfuric Acid that dissolve concrete infrastructure ( Erode Pipes under the ground) which are extremely expensive to replace. At a minimum of $5,000 per metre.

Where pipes have burst, there’s been situations where vehicles- peoples have been walking across the ground and fallen into pipes that have collapsed under ground beneath them. That contaminated waste water can kill Micro-organisms inside a Wastewater Treatment Plant * Can suffocate creatures in the waterways where waste water is discharges * that contaminants suck up all the Oxygen.

Thus Monitoring * Treatment & Mitigation of Trade Waste is vitally Important, as it also protects Rate Payer Assets * Maintains life in our Environment. RNZ had no problems in researching publishing Stats from a number of Councils across NZ as to what companies/ businesses has breached Trade Waste Consents and the number of times annually in 2021.

However  – today  I have found through my research ( November 1st 2025 )Stats on Companies that  may have breached Trade Waste Consents between 2024-2025 are absent throughout  Councils across NZ. (No the Loopholes- Errors have not been fixed). It is reported that there is ongoing legislative attention and local regulatory updates on specific issues being address (Review of Local Bylaws & Proposed National Legislation that has NOT yet been implemented or passed in the House

Various Reports & Govt updates highlighting 2025 issues of Regulatory gaps in  unresolved General Waste Management. With Local Councils noting that there are ongoing problems with ‘Non-compliance Notices’ * Trade waste * addressing issues effectively.. Loopholes are still left open. Trade waste is a matter of ongoing Legislation and local regulatory updates that mention specific aspect relevant to Trade Waste- where enforcements are still considered insufficient (Not Fixed)

The Erosion of Infrastructure  (Underground Pipes) , as erosion continues  and pipes have to be replaced* Ageing  Infrastructure- associated costs are directly paid for by the Rate Payers through much higher Rate Bills. This means a massive investment required to fix or replace 1,000’s of kilometers of old & eroding underground pipes

At an estimated spend of $120- $185 Billion over the next 30 years to upgrade Water Infrastructure, which Ratepayers are required to pay- either through Rates or Targeted Water Charges. The consequence of the financial burden of historical under investment and the neglect of the Govt to fix the Local Govt Act 2002 Errors Loopholes)

Over a period now of 23 years which has allowed businesses/companies to leach damaging chemicals etc., into drains- sewers- and Trade Wastes that cover the lights in Waste Treatment Plants often not being able to cope with the Trade Waste contamination. Taumata Arowai the New Water Regulator is a Government Entity that operate independently as a Water Service Regulator. Controlled by its own independent Ministerial Appointed Board which works in partnership with a Iwi/Maori Advisory Group (Te Puna).

Described as including the Obligations to Iwi/Maori and being accountable to the House of Representatives for its actions. The Maori Advisory Group ‘Te Puna’ is integral to the Governance of the Organization- advising the Board on Maori Interests * Knowledge  as to the fundamental importance of water * and the Principles of the Treaty Of Waitangi. (The Treaty of Waitangi 1830 did not create a Partnership nor did it create Principles)

Out of curiosity I researched for Trade Waste Consent Breaches- Dates – And Councils for Trade Waste Consent Breaches…Mata Piako * Hamilton * Christchurch * Auckland * Whangarei * Blenheim * Hastings * Invercargill. However Invercargill District Council refer enquiries for Trade Waste Consent  Breaches to Environmental Southland.  Then Environmental Southland  refer back to the Council  for info on Stats..(purposeful deliberate duck shoving & scape goating)

Research led me once again to the Local Govt Act 2022, described as having persistent drafting errors preventing Council from issuing Infringement Fines on Companies/Businesses that breach their Trade Waste Consents. No Infringement Fines issued. Hence the Govt has now introduced its “Local Water Done Well Plan’.. replacement program described as –

“Aiming for the new legislation to strengthen Central Govt oversight by ‘Regulating the Economic & Environment Performance of Water Services”. Helping Councils to transition, defer their Reviews of Water Service Bylaws, to be completed by July 1st 2026. October 2025 the Water Regulator Taumata Arowai became the consulting entity on the National Environmental Performance Standards for Waste Water Treatment.

But its reported that the Trade Waste Consent breaches are still too difficult to enforce despite the New Crown Entity and the  restoration of Council control of Water Services in NZ. Where Councils still face significant hurdles to enforce Trade Waste Consent breaches. No timeline has been given to fix the Local Government Act  2002.

Recalling that in January 2021 Nanaia Mahuta Local Govt Minister announced the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai may take several years before the Trade Waste Consent concerns are addressed. WAITING- WAITING- WAITING- STILL WAITING.  With the Govt using the 2016 Havelock North event to introduce the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai. When May 21st 2021 Nanaia Mahuta sister  (Tipa Mahuta) was made Chair of the Advisory Board of the new Water Regulator

As costs significantly increase for Ratepayers and the errors causing extra costs still continue to exist. But now what’s changed is that the RNZ Stats, names of Companies/Businesses that breached Trade Waste Consents  were clearly exposed to the public of NZ. Now they are clearly absent from Council Records. But the problems still exist. WakeUpNZ. Researcher-Cassie

Data visualization by Farah Hancock…This story originally said there were at least 270 companies that had breached their trade waste consents. The story has been corrected to say 267. This is because IXOM (Morrinsville), Waste Management and NZ Meat Processors were originally named as having breached their consents, when they had not. This was incorrect information, supplied to us by the Matamata-Piako District Council, and has now been removed.

AUCKLAND CITY COUNCIL TARGET THE FARMERS FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Auckland City Council published an article in 23rd December 2015 ‘Auckland City Council’s Climate Change Effort was acknowledged on the world stage. Mayor Len Brown attended the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris. Auckland was accepted as a member of the world’s leading local govt Climate Change Action Group namely the ‘C40 CITIES’. Len Brown said “now we have international support to increase the pace”

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a network of ‘Megacities’ that are committed to addressing, driving a meaningful, measurable sustainable action on climate change. Len Brown stated “C40 Cities represent 500 million people, ¼ of the global economy. Auckland City Council was the first NZ City to become a member of C40 Cities. Auckland City membership to C40 CITIES was approved at the 21st Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention in Climate Change (COP21) in Paris. On 29th November 2016 Auckland Super City was chosen as a finalist in the C40 Cities Awards. Len Brown reported “I am delighted at Auckland City Council receiving international recognition for its projects on climate change

14th March 2022-Auckland City Council retains C40 Innovator City title. The council’s leadership has been recognised by mayors around the globe. C40 Cities Leadership comprises of 97 Cities. Cities have to apply for membership every three years. Phil Goff said “In the last two terms of council we’ve made progress to meet  the challenges posed by climate change, planting of millions of native trees, investing billions in public transport infrastructure, stopping the purchase of diesel buses, delivering $152 million climate package in last years Recovery Budget

Auckland City Council published a 179 page report this includes:- Developing a Strategic Food Policy Action Plan, providing governance for Auckland’s food system. Developing a Food Charter for Auckland and establishing a Food Policy Council and Advocate to Government to develop a National Food Resilience. To implement a low carbon, resilient, equitable food system embodying values of  Iwi/Maori. To prioritize, increase access to healthy sustainable food.  Transition away from carbon dependence. Significantly decreasing consumption of meat and dairy products. A shift towards plant based diets, nuts, grains, fruit and vegetables etc.,

Auckland City Council goals include establishing mana whenua Climate Office/ Think Tank. Restoring, replenishing, rejuvenating  wetlands. Using whole of catchment system for decision making including land use change, Restore, rejuvenate and replenish food production. Restore and rejuvenate our fresh water springs. Prepare, educate Maori communities, businesses and landowners for change. Establish an online Maori knowledge and information portal. Reduce emissions from industrial product use, especially hydrofluorocarbons. (HFC) Refrigerants (Will include cooling systems domestic, commercial and vehicle cooling systems -References made to:-Montreal Protocol (UN) Aligning with Kigali Amendment. Auckland City Council’s Climate Change.

Auckland City Council refers to ‘Our Land & Water’- where each Mana Whenua Iwi will engage and partner with the council, the Crown, the Community and the Business Sector as part of Auckland’s Climate response. The  Kaitiaki Forum will work with the Council to monitor, evaluate the state of wellbeing of Tamaki Makaurau Influence. Mana Whenua will work at local, regional and national level to navigate, influence indigenous response to the regeneration and transformation of ecological, social, cultural and wellbeing (carbon foot-prints)

The Auckland Council report that ‘the average Aucklander MUST reduce their carbon foot-print. They state ‘We MUST act now.  We MUST change the way each of us live our lives, the choices we make, how we travel, energy we use, what we purchase and how we eat (our diets) We MUST transition to low carbon lifestyles. November 2nd 2021 AUCKLAND City Council published article ‘Auckland City Council selected to showcase Climate initiatives. Reporting that eleven cities including Auckland are the worlds best examples of impactful urban climate action and refers to COP26, Green Zone, the Global Cities Climate Action Exhibition.Auckland features in exhibition alongside Beijing, London Los Angeles, Washington etc. Auckland City Council endorsed the C40 Divest/Invest Declaration, divesting any investments in fossil fuel companies, investing in climate solutions that support a green economy. Supporting the ‘Global Green Deal’.  The Auckland Council Group raised a  billion dollars plus in green bonds to finance and refinance projects which includes cycling infrastructure. Auckland City Council is the first organisation in NZ to issue a green bond. 1485 institutions from 71 countries have committed to fossil fuel divestment

Auckland City Council Low Emissions Bus Roadmap includes deploying 100- 150 electric buses by 2021 plus more depots being upgraded with charging infrastructure and further trials on charging technologies. Ports Of Auckland has committed to build a hydrogen production and refuelling facility at its Waitemata port.. Project partners are Auckland Council, Auckland Transport and KiwiRail. Investments will be made in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles including port equipment, buses, cars as part of the project

AUCKLAND CITY-PLANETARY DIET- SHIFT AWAY  FROM MEAT: C40 Cities have establishedGood Food Cities Declaration’ 11th September 2019. Mayors of C40 Cities are committed to using science based and a people focused approach to limit global warming to  1.5C. The C40 Cities-Good Food Cities Declaration commits cities to take a partnership approach to adopt food policies, strategies around food procurement, a food system that benefits all. Commitments include -Align food procurement policies to the ‘Planetary Health Diet’. Supporting an overall increase in plant based food consumption in C40 Cities. Work with citizens, businesses, public institutions, other organizations to develop a joint strategy for implementing these measures and achieving these goals, incorporating the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ into the’ Climate Action Plan’. Develop a food charter for Auckland, a strategic food policy action area, Provide strategic direction and governance for Auckland food system. Establish a Food Policy Council, advocate government to develop a National Food Resilience Policy.

Educate, prepare Maori to transition away from carbon dependence. Establish a Mana Whenua Climate Office. Auckland City Council has published that  Aotearoa, North Island now used as the Maori name for New Zealand  Council’s role is the delivery of the plan,  direct control, lead by example, deliver services, deliver infrastructure and facilities, lever plan, monitor and review, regulate, research, advocate, inform and influence. Reviewing regularly to reflect new evidence, learning, policy and technologies,. Adaptions and actions to be  taken to help communities and ecosystems cope with changing climate condition (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)

Food for thought:- C40 Good Food Cities Declaration. C40 Member cities commit to Sustainable Food Policies to address Climate Emergency. They call it ‘The Future We Want’ They mean- The Future They Want.                         C40 Cities are paving the way, implementing the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ in the local context. A radical transformation of our global food system they state – is critical to mitigate climate change. C40 Auckland City Council rising to the challenge- C40 City Mayors working with citizens to achieve the ‘Planetary Health Diet’. Auckland City Council Mayor will use procurement powers to change food we purchase, introduce policies for low carbon diets being accessible to ALL. A pledge made at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen.

The ’Planetary Health Diet’ comprises of 2,500 calories per day.  I have personally noted here that through my research that some people need more or less calories depending on several situations, eg energy used, metabolism, health issues etc.. The Planetary Health Diet’ includes not exceeding 16kg of meat per person per year equals 300 grams per week,  90 kg of dairy per person per year. (250 grams of dairy per day- equivalent to one cup of milk per day). Half a plate of fruit & vegetables, the other half of the plate to comprise of whole grains, plant protein sources, unsaturated plant oils. The C40 Mayors support an overall increase in plant based food consumption. C40 City Mayors to work with citizens, businesses, public institutions and other organizations to develop, implements measures to achieve goals inclusively to incorporate the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ with their City Climate Action Strategy-Plan. Promoting urbanization bringing people to the worlds cities. C40 City Mayors acknowledge its imperative to act in the best interests of their citizens, therefore they must shift Urban/City diets that aim to target- implement, apply interventions of global food systems in a local context.Auckland City Council Mayors have, and are promoting, implementing, planning, predetermining Multistakeholder Initiatives of Sustainable Food Systems and Diets. Auckland City Council article on their website refers to the World Economic Forum, that represent Multistakeholder Corporations. The WEF and UN signed an official strategic partnership June 13th 2019. Several large organizations have demanded that the partnership ends, due to a conflict of interests.(WEF Multistakeholder Capitalism)

WEF are seen as whisperers in the ear of the UN, giving the WEF massive influence over peoples lives right across the planet. The UN/WEF Partnership equating to a One World Public-Private Global Corporate Global Governance. A Global Corporate Governance that’s controls ‘people-planet- for profit (massive profit for the few as others suffer increased poverty), thus the intentions to destroy sovereign nations, to intercept them into globalization as globalized citizens. A global Eco Social Credit System enacted upon nations at a local level. The WEF/UN partnership is viewed as Non-Democratic causing a humongous global democratic deficit that has potentially drown the worlds b submerging them within a massive worldwide tsunami, causing fear, anxiety and allowed the totalitarian control of UN Member Govts over its citizens.

The deliberate shift from the worlds Free-market Economy to the WEF  Multistakeholderism could never happen as it has over the last few years if it had not been for the Pandemic shutting down, destroying the worlds economies that target small businesses and farming communities worldwide. (The free-market enterprise economy has served NZ well and now its being intentionally destroyed (seriously impacting on small businesses, small farm holders). Auckland City  Council support this insanity.

I personally believe this is a predetermined evil psychological warfare, using populations globally as guineapigs- depopulation through jabs, increased suicides, assisted suicides (euthanasia) and decimalizing Abortion. NOTE:-Auckland City Council website link to Sustainable Food Systems and Diets, Multistakeholder Initiatives. (23 Pages pdf) Link Provided. References the World Economic Forum and the UN..

C40 City Strategic funders are Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children’s Investment Foundation (CIFF) and Realdania. Bill Gates among philanthropies that fund the Children’s Investment Foundation (CIFF). Bloomberg and Gates collaborated on COVID initiatives. Bloomberg-Gates fight climate change.. How to fund the Green Revolution.  Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundations form alliance’ The Green Revolution.

Gates Foundation failed the ‘Green Revolution for Africa’ published July 29th 2020 Report where massive investments spent promoting and subsidizing commercial seeds and agrichemicals across Africa failed to fulfil the purpose of alleviating hunger and lifting small hold farmers out of poverty.(False Promises’ was published by 10 German-African Non Profits. This is just one example of wealthy billionaire philanthropists self interests and failings. The ‘Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa ‘(AGRA) was launched in 2006 by Gates & Rockefeller Foundation. Promised double yields, incomes for 30 million farming households hence cutting food security in 20 African countries by 2020. African Govts spent $1billion per year. Poverty and hunger worsened. High public cost & zilch transparency

Billionaires Wealth Index.. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, John D Rockefeller, Elon Mus Gates, Rockefeller etc.,with their low carbon big ticket commitments. Across the global green spectrum get much wealthier.. China, the manufacturers of the global green deal energy hub. Tycoons who make electric vehicles, batteries for electric cars dominate as the biggest investors. Electric car batteries. Auckland council investments, implementation, plans to significantly increase electric cars, charging points

Auckland City Council will not publicly report this.  Children obligated to work in dark dangerous narrow hazardous cobalt mines. Little to no safety. Mining cobalt essential for electric car battery manufacture ‘Millions of children’s lives in Serious Danger’, lives lost by collapsed mining infrastructure. Children with horrendous injuries. Slave Child Labour. As young as 5-6yrs old. Earning approx. $1.20 per day. Women that work in these mines are reported as being sexually violated, raped

The Auckland City Council through promoting their radical C40 City global mayors project have aligned themselves with those that allow these terrible atrocities to happen to children. This will not be found on the Auckland City Council website. Will Auckland new mayor, Len Brown publicly talk about this?          Will any of Ardern’s political cronies that reside in the toilet bowl of Wellington talk publicly about this. What about Peters and Seymour they appear to be publicly speaking out about what we want to hear. Will they publicly talk about this? Will leaders of Maori Party, will Willie Jackson will Eugene Sage Green Party talk about this? I BELIEVE NOT.

Have the deckchairs just merely been moved around on the deck? I BELIEVE SO. After all Helen Clark is till advising Ardern’s Govt on policies etc., through her Helen Clark Foundation. A Non-Profit Organization. Will Phil Goff become a member of Ardern’s cabinet? Will Auckland’s new mayor, Len Brown publicly tell Aucklanders, New Zealanders about Auckland City C40 radical implementation of the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ for ALL Aucklanders? The shift to increased plant based diets, a significant decrease in real meat consumption. Will Len Brown publicly refer to  Klaus Schwab’s-WEF significant links to Auckland City Council.? Will Len Brown publicly disclose what the determinations, implementations that the Global Covenant of Mayors implanting, proposing, planning. Auckland Council references ‘Global Covenant of Mayors’ work towards climate resilient future,

Whilst attending a South Auckland meeting last weekend the speaker asked the gathering if they believed that Len Brown, the new Auckland mayor would make a difference to the insanity that’s happening now. I sadly replied ‘NO’, but I pray he will. I expect he will be bombarded by political leftist ‘woke’ crap. I pray he has the ‘Moral Courage’ to endure, implement the changes, disrupt the wrong doings that mayors have done before him namely Len Brown and Phil Goff. He has walked into the Lions Den of ‘Woke-ism’

THE CARBON CREDITS SCAM, FOREIGN LAND SALES AND DIRTY TOXIC POLLUTED WATER

15th May 2019  NZ Herald heading “Is Eugenie Sage the Most Dangerous Minister in Jacinda Ardern’s Government

Audrey Young: Is the Green Party’s Eugenie Sage the most ‘dangerous’ minister in Jacinda Ardern’s Government?

RNZ reported 13th November 2018 that Green MP Eugenie Sage accused of rubber stamping land sales to foreigners. It was revealed than Land Information Minister and Green MP Eugenie Sage had approved nearly every application to cross her desk over 9 months, just rejecting only 30 hectares out of 60,000 hectares of land. Sage allowed a Chinese water bottling giant to expand

Between 1st November and 26th July Sage approved 21 applications covering 55,957 hectares. Sage said roughly 40,000 hectares were related to the sale of Mount White Station a sheep and beef farm in Canterbury. Many of the applications were related to forestry, which is a priority area for the government,  she said. Adding we need more forestry to meet the billion trees commitment to ensure that New Zealand is sequestering enough carbon to meet the government’s climate change objectives.

I personally believe the carbon credit scheme is a sham, that will cost farmers their land and the country a huge economic loss. It’s a fraud in which the Taxpayers of New Zealand and Consumers will have to cough up big time for. Who is an environmental law and policy expert had spent years working on the integrity of the Australian Govt’s carbon credit system launched an attack on the scheme, saying it’s a fraud, is hurting the environment and wasting a $billion of Australian Taxpayer funding.

This news article referred to major implications for the credibility of the Coalitions $4.5billion ‘direct action’ emissions reduction fund in which the government buys carbon credits from rural land owner and other businesses.

This also raised questions as to the rapidly growing number of polluting companies promising to buy carbon credits to offset their impact on the planet. The private market in carbon credits being worth $150million per year in Australia.

As for NZ and its growing a billion or so tree’s for 20 years the Local Government Act has allowed companies in NZ to pollute  farmers  bore water  through what Fonterra calls ‘Nutrient Management’

Fonterra has 29 Ghost Farms. Fonterra would rather call them ‘Nutrient Management Farms’ across New Zealand. Fonterra have purchased farms, removed the stock and used the land for piping their factory cleaning waste water onto these farms and then sprayed it across these farms.

One News Feb 10th 2021 News Article ‘Council, Government ‘failure’ is why Fonterra can discharge toxic waste water on empty farms says ecologist.

That Local and Central Govt are failing to adequately limit industry’s discharge of wastewater on land, which puts people health and environment at risk.

The article refers to an assessment by Victoria University professor Mike Joy on Breakfast Today RNZ where a Waikato couple unacceptable levels of nitrates in their bore drinking water. Fonterra had emptied nearby farms of cows and used the land as tips for waste water.

But, Fonterra is within the law to continue discharging this toxic waste water. Fonterra said its part of its circular nutrient management system, that the water would help the grass grow. The grass is cut, then taken elsewhere to feed cattle. This is namely ‘Cut and Carry’.

Ground water testing found that this showed dangerously high nitrate levels of 10 12 milligrams per litre. The maximum level allowed under the National Policy for Freshwater Management is 2.4 milligrams per litre.

This is putting bank balances before human health. Wealth NOT health. An analysis by RNZ found few councils monitored breaches to trade water consents, often turning a blind eye  to this. And Fonterra’s not the only one getting away with Trade Wastewater breaches either. More on this with my next blog.

But what does the Government do.. BLAME THE FARMERS..-..THROW THE FARMERS UNDER THEIR TRACTORS….- . USE THE FARMERS AS THEIR WHIPPING BOY.

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL ‘UNDRIP’ AND VISION 2040 NEW ZEALAND

George Orwell’s- Animal Farm: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” Orwell explaining disparities that exist in our society

A proclamation by the pigs who control the government, in the novel of Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’. The hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the equality of citizens, but give power and privileges to a small elite

Orwell parody of as he criticised  Stalinist Russia. He said ‘”Windmill or no windmill, life will go on as it had always gone on, and that is badly

Orwells “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”, takes me back to the researched archives of the Beehive (The wasps nest) 15th September 2007.

The NZ Minister Of Maori Affairs gave a ‘Wake Up’ speech in the house, however three years later the National Party ignored the warning. And now the great push to introduce the UNDRIP into Health, Education, Infrastructure, Economy etc., etc.,

The hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the equality of citizens, but give power and privileges to a small elite

THE NZ GOVERNMENT HAS THE ABILITY TO DETAIN YOU INDEFINITELY WITHOUT YOU EVEN COMMITTING A CRIMINAL OFFENCE

TONY BLAIRS ‘North Korean’Sweeping Powers are permanent in New Zealand.. Not one political crony in the cesspit of Wellington will openly share this information with the citizens of NZ.

Tony Blair was reported in the Daily Mail News as referring to ‘Tony Blair’s Stalker Squad’. He had quietly set up a Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in the UK for those that were called ‘Suspects to be detained’ without breaking the law under an extended mental health condition namely ‘fixated’ behavior.

Fixated Threat Assessment Centre is a collaboration between Scotland Yard Police, Parliamentary Police and special Mental Health Officials, where the government has the power to detain anyone whom opposed the governments narratives. Citizens whom had not committed a crime, with was no criminal evidence. Thus being a blurred line between criminal and clinical investigations.

Because of the passing of a confidentiality legislation suspects name were not known, therefore no-one knew how any detained suspect there were, or their names.  The Atlantic Times reported ‘UK Law Bans the public from Criticizing the Government’ British subjects being detailed in a mental health unit under Blair’s little known laws’. Detainee’s had little or no right to appeal, a number of people falling prey to Blairs North Korean tactics.

Outspoken MP Andrew Lansley reported “the law can be used to target anyone of religious or political belief. The Government has widened the definition of mental health intervention”.
Evening Standard 27th May 2007 was headed ‘Shambles of Blairs Plan’ referring to Blairs draconian wartime powers. Where if citizens were questioned by police and did not comply they were issued with up to a 5,000 pound fine. The Government had such sweeping powers that Police could stop and question anyone. The government analyzed more than 10,000 suspects. No-one knows how many were or are being detained in the Threat Assessment Centres.

Detainee’s that undergo mental health interventions without having a mental health disorder. Civil matters in a private court where the govt chose an advocate to represent the suspect. The suspect not knowing that a court hearing was happening, no lawyer. Suspects could be detained indefinitely.

2017 the New Zealand Government decided to pilot Tony Blairs draconian North Korean Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in New Zealand. On the July 1st 2019 under the Labour led government the Tony Blair Fixated Threat Assessment Centre became permanent in New Zealand. A collaboration between Parliamentary Police, NZ Police and special Mental Health Officials.

An OIA request was made requesting details of how many suspects have been detained in the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in NZ. Age, ethnicity etc., between 2017 – 2020. The response from National Intelligence NZ Police to all questions where responses were requested were given a ‘Non Applicable’ response. In other words “the New Zealand public will never know”. Kia-ora North Korea.
