CONCERNS AS TO PRINCIPLES OF WAITANGI AND PARTNERSHIP: Firstly I have concerns has to the deliberate legislative corruption of New Zealand’s original Founding Document Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The sovereign Nation of New Zealand are the people of New Zealand (NZ Citizens). All Peoples. Te Tiriti o Waitangi’s purpose was to carry out the wishes, desires of the Queen  of England to establish a settled form of Civil Government with a view to avert evil consequences to the Māori people and the  Europeans living ‘without laws’

Te Tiriti o Waitangi’s purpose was to carry out the wishes, desires of the Queen  of England.

1) To establish a settled form of Civil Government with a view to avert evil consequences to the Māori people and the  Europeans living ‘without laws’.                                                                                    2) The Māori Chiefs ceded to the Queen of England forever the Government of their lands

3) Their lands means ‘their territories’  – Government means Sovereignty  -‘Personage’ means  King or Queen.

4) The Queen of England extends to the Māori people of New Zealand her ‘Royal Protection’, ‘Privileges’, Rights’ The same Royal Protection, Privileges, Rights  as she gives her British Subjects, which therefore means ALL people alike, none are more privileged than another.

KEY NOTES: 

a)Article 1 of ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi means,  that the Maori Chiefs transferred their ‘chiefly authority’  and their ancestry, past and present and future generations were ceded for ever.   That prior to the signing of ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ there were no laws, no government, and lots of lawlessness.

b)Māori were fighting Māori, Māori and European were fighting each other. The Queen of England guaranteed royal protection from foreign invasions of New Zealand’s territories, from foreign powers also royal protection  within New Zealand Territories

c)Te Tiriti o Waitangi clearly describes that the Laws established were ‘One Law for All People’ – Te Tiriti o Waitangi clearly shows that Māori did not have Fishing Rights –  Tiriti o Waitangi does not state Iwi/Maori have ownership, control of Forestry, Natural Resources.

d)That Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create Veto Rights, nor Compensation of Lands or ownership of the entire lands of New Zealand. The Māori Chiefs ceded to the Queen of England forever the Government of their lands. Hence ‘lands’ means ‘territories’. Government means ‘Sovereignty’. The people of New Zealand are the Sovereign Nation. ‘Personage’ means  King or Queen.

1. e) The Queen of England extends to the Māori people of New Zealand her ‘Royal Protection’, ‘Privileges’, Rights’ The same Royal Protection, Privileges, Rights as she gives her British Subjects, which therefore means ALL people alike, none are more privileged than another.
2. f) The Queen of England guaranteed royal protection from foreign invasions of New Zealand’s territories, from foreign powers also royal protection within New Zealand Territories
3. g) Te Tiriti o Waitangi clearly describes that the Laws established were ‘One Law for All People’

h)Te Tiriti o Waitangi clearly shows that Māori did not have Fishing Rights, Own or control of Forestry, Natural Resources in New Zealand prior to Te Tiriti o Waitangi

i)Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create Veto Rights, nor Compensation of Lands or ownership of the entire lands of New Zealand

j)Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create a Partnership between Crown (Government) and Iwi/Maori/Hapu.

k)Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create ‘Principles’. Parliamentary Legislation created ‘Principles’

and

THE TERM ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’  Te Tiriti on Waitangi did not create the term ‘Indigenous People’. George Manuel President of the Canadian Indian Brotherhood visited New Zealand in the early 1970’s met with a number of Māori entertainers and Māori Politicians. This gave George Manuel the opportunity to speak serious talk about the term ‘Indigenous Peoples’ that he continued to spread around other countries he visited including meeting up with Aboriginal students in Australia.  George Manuel established the World Indigenous Council of which he was President.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE UNITED NATIONS: At one meeting held in the UN Assembly a number of protestors walked out as they were angered that they had not given Manuel consent to label them as ‘Indigenous Peoples. George Manuel played a part in the preplanning of the UN Declaration Of the Rights for Indifenous Peoples. This took years to plan, involved several Iwi from NZ.

THE NATION STATES ‘RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION’ New Zealand is a Nation State, territorial bounded sovereign polity. A state that rules in the name of the citizens of that State whom identify themselves as the Sovereign of the State. The Right to Self-determination of the Sovereign State. This states that people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference

QUESTIONS FOR THE NEW COALITION ‘GOVERNMENT OF NEW ZEALAND’

ON DAVID SEYMOURS PENDING REFERENDUM ON THE TREATY: The new government to support a ‘Treaty Principles Bill based on ACT Policy through to select committee to be legally binding. The rights to referendums should a council want to introduce Maori Wards? The people of New Zealand still have no legally binding referendum rights

ACT’S PENDING REFERENDUM ON TE TIRITI O WAITANGI’: The ‘Founding Document of New Zealand’ Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create ‘Principles’. By acknowledging ‘Principles’ therefore then supports the deliberate legislative corruption already implemented in the 1980’s by legislature. The New Government not acknowledging the corruption of the original founding document of NZ but once again promoting it by recognizing that ‘Principles’ were created by the Treaty and they were not.

THE CREATION OF THE TERMINOLOGY OF INDIGONOUS PEOPLES:  Was not created by Te Tiriti o Waitangi. George Manuel President of the Canadian Indian Brotherhood visited New Zealand in the early 1970’s met with a number of Māori entertainers and Māori Politicians. This gave George Manuel the opportunity to speak serious talk about the term ‘Indigenous Peoples’ that he continued to spread around other countries he visited including meeting up with Aboriginal students in Australia.  George Manuel established the World Indigenous Council of which he was President. (George Manuel was influenced by Tanzanian politician Parkipuny who started modernizing this term rather than using the terms ‘natives’ or tribal communities’

THE TERMINOLOGY ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ WAS NOT WELCOMED BY ALL: At one meeting held in the UN Assembly a number of protestors walked out as they were angered that they had not given Manuel consent to label them as ‘Indigenous Peoples. George Manuel played a part in the preplanning of the UN Declaration Of the Rights for Indigenous Peoples. This took years to plan, involved several Iwi from NZ. How many people with Maori ancestry call themselves Indigenous People/ Never mind leave it to the Te Pati Maori and Iwi Nationaal Leaders Groups.

A HUGE BONE OF CONTENTION THAT STILL EXISTS TODAY: There has been much contention as to the following:- If Māori did not have a Government, then how could they cede something that did not have in the first place? The following response included:- Each Māori Chief who subscribed his mark on the common weal and to Governor William Hobson (Representative of the Queen of England) were counted as an ‘authority’, as an offering to the Queen of England. That Māori Chief’s each having authority over each of their Tribes. That the total sum of the ‘Chiefs Authorities’ amounted to what was described as a ‘Government’

GOVERNANCE OF NZ PRIOR TO TREATY: Each of the individual Chiefs that made a mark on the Te Tiriti o Waitangi were finally counted as a total sum of ‘Authority’ (‘Total Authority’ of the Chiefs being the ‘Total Government’)  Therefore  Article 1 of ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi means,  that the Maori Chiefs transferred their ‘chiefly authority’  and their ancestry, past and present and future generations were ceded for ever. New Zealand was a country of much lawlessness.  Prior to the signing of ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ there were no laws, no government, and lots of lawlessness. Māori were fighting Māori, Māori and European were fighting each other

PROTECTION OF NEW ZEALAND AS A NATION STATE: Te Tiriti o Waitangi ‘New Zealand’s Royal Protection from Foreign Invasions:- The Nation State is under ongoing attacks through the continuous UN International Laws that have been adopted into out Domestic Policies, which endanger the very state of our Sovereign Nation State

THE PRINCIPLE OF SOVEREIGNTY: The political model of the nations state, fuses two principles. The principle of ‘state sovereignty’ (First articulated in the Peace of Westphalia 1648). This recognizes the right of states to govern their territories without external interference and also the principle of ‘national sovereignty’ which recognizes the right of national communities to govern themselves

THE LAWFUL RIGHTS OF THE CITIZENS OF NEW ZEALAND IGNORED: Citizens Initiated Referendums: The citizens of NZ are the Sovereign of New Zealand. The parliamentarians our servants, the people of New Zealand are not their citizens. Therefore we, the people of New Zealand should have legal rights to agree or disagree with the government. The people of New Zealand have no ability to act upon the decision making rights. Therefore this is an undemocratic system on that is determined by the State for the State not the people.

UNDRIP: The Government will no longer recognize the UNDRIP, therefore also the government surely must rid NZ of the terminology ‘Indigenous Peoples’? This UN Declaration was adopted into the UN Assembly on 13th September 2007. Four countries rejected this, did not agree to sign it, they were the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.  John Key under a veil of secrecy sent Pita Sharples Co leader of the Māori Party to sign the UN Declaration in 2010. Hence this has at the core of apartheid in NZ (Racial Politics)

WILL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DUMP AGENDA 2030? And its global Development Goals that are being implemented in New Zealand at an accelerated pace.?

UN AGENDA 2030: Imposes a threat to our country, New Zealand’s Nation State. Ardern imposed it into NZs Domestic Policy hence the Non-binding UN Agreement became legally binding. (The Peoples Report on UN Agenda 2030 2019. (134 pages).

AGENDA 2030 ‘IWI/MAORI PARTNERSHIPS: UN Agenda 2030 seeks Iwi/Maori Partnerships.(Published by MBIE Govt 2019) MFAT collaboration, a wider engagement to implement the UN Global Agenda in New Zealand by NZ Government engaging a partnership with Iwi/Maori  for action on UN Agenda 2030 SDGs. References made to:-Indigenous people are adaptable and reconstruct world views to ensure relevant information is passed onto government. The implementation of the Open Government Partnership National Action Plan. UN agenda 2030 in the spirit of partnership, the SDG Global Agenda 2030 that recommends ‘diversity-fluidity-LGBTQ+ community

UN / WEF INTERNATIONAL INTERFERENCE OF THE NATION STATE: The principle of ‘Sovereignty fuses two principles. The principle of ‘State’ sovereignty’ First articulated in the Peace of Westphalia 1648). Recognizes the right of States to govern their own territories without external interference.

THE PRINCIPLE OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY:  The principle of ‘National Sovereignty’ recognizes the right of national communities to govern themselves. With the governments accepted interference of UN/WEF International Rules this has violated the right of the Sovereign People of The Nation State of New Zealand

NZ AS A NATION STATE: Nationalism aspires to a congruence between State Borders and the Boundaries of the Nation Community, so that the National Group is contained in the Territory of its State, and the State contains the Nation’. It is clearly evident that Parliamentarians, our Nations Leaders show no obedience to that of ‘Sovereign Right to a Nation State’. The sovereign people of NZ have no legal binding decision making rights.  The Undemocratic State of New Zealand

THE NATION STATES ‘RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION’ New Zealand is a Nation State, territorial bounded sovereign polity. A state that rules in the name of the citizens of that State whom identify themselves as the Sovereign of the State. The Right to Self-determination of the Sovereign State. This states that people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference

STATE BORDERS: As a political idea, nationalism aspires to a congruence between state borders and the boundaries of the national community, so that the national group is contained in the territory of its state and the state contains the nation

CHARACTER ASSINATION OF THE NATIONAL SOVEREIGN STATE: Has been severely corrupted by the ideology of ‘Decolonizing Everything’ consequently causing a serious division between individuals, groups, organizations in New Zealand, including that of political parties and their enactment of their policies.

PATRIOTISM: The term ‘Patriotism’ has been seriously corrupted globally and nationally. Patriotism is about loyalty to ones own country, our nation and political community. : Loyalty to ones own country: Patriotism, a feeling of attachment and commitment to a country, nation or political community. Patriotism the love of ones own country. Nationalism is the loyalty to ones nation

INTERUPTION AND INTERGRATION OF OUTSIDE GLOBAL ENTITIES: In the rights of the Sovereign people of the National Sovereign State of New Zealand. To Love One’s Own Country  has been seriously corrupted has been deliberately determined “loving, being loyal to ones own country  as Neo Nazism, Right Wing Extremism and White Supremacy.

EDUCATION CURRICULUM DISMISSES ‘LOYALTY, LOVING ONES OWN COUNTRY: Our children are being taught in the school curriculum (Universal Education UNESCO Education 2030) that promotes identity politics and gender ideology. Yes, the new government state they will once again implement English and Maths, but will they take RSI (Relationship & Sexuality), Gender Ideology out of the school curriculum?

GOOD NZ CITIZENS: Will the New Government replace the teaching of children to be ‘Good Global Citizens to be Good New Zealand Citizens, to love, respect be loyal to their own country?

NATIONALISM THREATENS MULTILATERALISM: Reported 2nd May 2019 (UN Article). Multilateralism must be strengthened, revitalize the UN Multilateral system so the UN remains effective. Nationalism has become a challenge to UN Multilateralism.  Parliaments worldwide actively achieving Agenda 2030.

NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENTARIANS:  The integration into national frameworks to reach local communities. Parliamentarians worldwide to embrace UN Reforms, this includes diffusing the virtual space in which global civil society have emerged. To support promote minority communities, LGBTQ+, and racial division, environmentalism termed as ‘diversity and inclusion’. The Un reports Parliamentarians to play a key role at local level. Improve Stakeholder partnerships

PARTNERSHIPS AND STAKEHOLDER CAPITALISM: References to this:- Parliaments worldwide foster interaction between National Parliament and the UN. (Nations Parliaments worldwide form Partnership with the UN). The 5th World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments 2020 the opportunity to further consolidate this partnership to ensure implementation of the global agenda 2030. Highlights the role of Indigenous Peoples.

DESTRUCTION OF FREEDOM TO CHOOSE: This report is published by NZ Govt MBIE. Stakeholder Capitalism is Klaus Schwab’s baby, the destruction and replacement of Free-market Enterprises worldwide. Destroying the freedom to choose.

RUINATION AND DESTRUCTION OF THE NATION STATE ECONOMY: Multi-stakeholder capitalism is the enemy of small businesses and farming communities, it is one of  the ‘Corporate Capture’ of Nation States to advance Global Governance. Massive re-engineering of social behavior as to the way we think, behave, what we purchase, the way we live and how we live.

UN CHALLENGES NATION STATES AS THREATENING MULTILATERALISM: It was reported on 2nd May 2019  (UN Article) entitled ‘Parliamentarians Discuss Multilateralism, UN’s Effectiveness at the 2019 Annual Parliamentary Hearing that discussed the emerging challenges to UN’s Multilateralism, that Multilateralism needs to strengthen worldwide, their needs to be many more women that participate in revitalizing the UN’s Multilateral System.

PARLIAMENTS WORLDWIDE ‘SDG’S (AGENDA 2030): Referenced the importance of Parliamentarian worldwide promoting global goals, that SDG Indicators (Agenda 2030) have been established to ensure local and regional budgets are ‘in step’. To ensure that the global agenda is integrated into national frameworks and they reach local communities

PARLIAMENTS ‘COMMITTEE’S PARTNERSHIP WITH UN: The suggestion was made to create within National parliaments committees similar to IPU Standing Committee on UN Affairs to foster interaction between National Parliaments and the UN. Thus referencing the 5th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in 2020 could provide an opportunity to further consolidate the partnership between the UN, Nations Parliaments and IPU, thus ensuring to commit SDG implementation , to form a parliamentary committee to embrace UN Reforms

PARLIAMENTARIANS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE UN GLOBAL AGENDA; . They can hold their Governments accountable by following up on commitments made at the United Nations and monitoring the implementation thereof, passing relevant national legislation and approving budgets. I. Multilateralism, emerging challenges and the role of parliamentarian

UN STATES THAT NATIONALISM HAS BECOME A HUGE THREAT: Nationalism, populism and isolationism pose a growing threat to the global order. The international system, with the United Nations at its core, must become more relevant, responsive and transparent. It must do a better job of including women and youth, and partner with the private sector, business, labour, civil society and regional and financial institution

SOCIAL MEDIA ‘IDISINFORMATION’ A GLOBAL AGENDA: Social Media and Disinformation that undermines the Multilateral System. The hearing emphasized the need for multilateralism in a world grappling with increasingly complex cross-border challenges. Nationalism, populism and isolationism pose a growing threat to the global order. Parliamentarians play a key role because they represent people and can ensure that global ambitions apply to local realities

ELECTIONEERING CAMPAIGN NEGLECTED GLOBAL ISSUES THAT ARE IMPLENTED LOCALLY: This has not yet been addressed or even publicized by ACT, NZ First or National Parties during their electioneering campaigns. Surely National Interests should be the dominant principle of policy making in any given country. Distr.: General 26 March 2019 UN General Assembly.

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ‘AUCKLAND COUNCIL’: Will the new coalition government dump the C40 Cities agenda of Auckland Council (Local Government) Smart cities, the promoting of plant based foods, encouraging the destruction of small businesses and farming communities. Their Drag Queen Storytime in libraries.

POLICING IN  NZ: Will police be required to remove their Rainbow bracelets? The Police are employed to serve the Government not the People of New Zealand

CHALLENGING PARLIAMENTARIANS TO STRENTHEN THE GLOBAL/WEF MULTULATERAL ORDER:. The 2019 annual parliamentary hearing served as an opportunity to discuss growing challenges to multilateralism and share ideas about how to reform the United Nations and strengthen the multilateral system in order to better respond to global challenges. This mode of operation challenges the traditional confinement of political struggles to the public sphere of individual sovereign states.

COALITION PARTY IGNORED THE NEW 300 PLUS RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: Whether New Government Coalition partners would oppose these WHO International Health Regulations that update, amend the UN UHR 2005 AND THE NEW who International Pandemic Treaty (Accord)

THE WHO PANDEMIC ACCORD (TREATY) Does the new coalition agree with this or not? but they are certainly supporting the ‘One Health Approach’. The management-control of Human’s, Animals-wild and domestic, Plants, Soil, Oceas, Estuaries, the air you breathe, the whole dam Eco-System. This means that Climate Doomism lockdown is highly possible. Because they say that everything is inter-related (Inter-connected)

THE GLOBAL ONE HEALTH RESPONSE: Does the new coalition agree with this or not?

THE KILGALI AMENDMENT AGREED TO BY NZ GOVERNMENT AN AMENDMENT TO THE UN MONTRAL PROTOCOL OF THE VENICE CONVENTION: Is very restrictive, has huge implications for shipping, aviation, for services, products sold and manufactured in NZ. What is the governments take on this? This UN Agreement can be enforced by trade embargoes on countries that are non compliant. The Kigali Amendment calls for a gradual reduction in the consumption and production of hydrofluorocarbons (“HFCs”), which are potent greenhouse gases. Its global implementation should avoid as much as half a degree Celsius of warming by the end of the century.

KIGALI AMENDMENT: (NZ GOVERNMENT WEBSITE): In October 2016, New Zealand joined 196 other countries to adopt the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration In October 2016, New Zealand joined 196 other countries to adopt the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration

KILGALI AMENDMENT FULLY ENFORCIBLE: Non-Compliancy country’s risk Trade Embargo’s. This consequently made many countries fearful, hence all UN Nations States agreed, were signatory to this.

KIGALI ‘NZ’S ECOMOMY: What will the Coalition Partners do as far as the Kigali Amendment is concerned, this imposes a great cost to our nations economy, consumers commercial and domestic will have to find the funding needed for this as the implementation of the Kigali Amendment will seriously impact on both. Impact on New Zealands economy such as the impacts on packaging of foods, cooling systems, refrigeration, vehicle cooling systems, shipping maintenance renewable anergy and Aviation renewable agency and much more such as servicing and maintenance, spare parts.

KILGALI AMENDMENT: A UNIVERSAL LEGALLY BINDING TREATY

THE UN  NEW GLOBAL TAXATION AGREEMENT: To destroy Crypto currencies. As UN Nation States state that cryptocurrencies bitcoin is being used by terrorist organization. However the corporation will find a way around this, but the average UN Nation State citizen will not. What does the new coalition believe or intend to do about the CBDC Digital currency already being piloted in Australia by the ANZ and what about the global targeting of bitcoin, cryptocurrency?

DANGEROUS CONCEPT OF EUTHANASIA AND THE DECRIMILIZATION OF ABORTION:  Safeguards etc., Criminality ‘Born Alive Principles??

MASS MIGRATION: Migration staff being told to ignore criminal records of migrants.  Local Govt to implement migration in cities world-wide. migration? As New Zealander’s are impacted by inflation, economically, socially how will this effect policy making for the new coalition. Migration in New Zealand increases 165% 2023-2024. Migration Officers leave their jobs as their senior manager are ignoring their huge concerns as to being told to ignore criminal convictions, approve, approve, approve on face value,  do not investigate, approve residency, student, work visa’s as quickly as possible  (Source of information RNZ). Question:- Could New Zealands security be at risk as migration officers report that at least 200 of these applications per day were suspicious but they were told to approve them ‘do not investigate’

GLOBAL MAYORS MIGRATION AGENDA: Implementation of Local Govt’s ? Mass Migration this also includes the Global Mayors Mitigation Council in partnership with C40 Cities (Auckland is a C40 City)

The Mainstream Propaganda Machine plays around with words to make their audience believe that Barry is untrustworthy. What rubbish the BNZ Bank believe in employing people who are trustworthy and Barry worked for the BNZ for 10 years. (Thats what I call trustworthy). Obviously Te Whatu Ora data is now out on the world stage and all eyes on NZ. Of course the message will be ‘NOTHING TO SEE HERE’. Let’s bring Barry down instead and censor those that seek the truth.. once again its becoming like the CHCH censorship of reporting or even publishing any questions about Barry’s Stats. Censorship of the people is nothing but Tyranny

The Sky Is Falling Is Falling In: Chicken Little was in the woods one day when an acorn fell on her head. It scared her so much she trembled all over. She shook so hard, half her feathers fell out. Help, help.. She shook so hard and half her feathers fell out. Help..Help.. she cried. The sky is falling I have to go and tell the King!

Selling your family into financial slavery to the UN and Multinational carbon trading minions for the next century. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famibe and the like would fit the bill.. all these dangers are caused by human intervention.. the real enemy then in humanity itseld. (Council Of Rome 1991)

In 2017 David Seymour authored a book titled ‘Own Your Own Future’ A Liberal Vision For New Zealand in 2017. Published 2017 by ACT NZ. The following is a description of some of the content of the text written in the book by Seymour:- We embrace markets, technological innovation  *The reason doomers get it wrong they underestimate or even ignore technological change       *If you predict the future on the basis of the current technology you will be wrong, not just wrong but wildly wrong. That a few pessimists  have gone wildly wrong over the years:- ‘Malthus on population 1798.  *Ehrlich 1968 author of the book ‘Population Bomb’ referring this to the Club of Romes Project ‘Limits to Growth. And Al Gore claiming in 2006 we only had 10 years left to save the planet.

The pessimists are wildly wrong, because we are still thriving. The past 30years we’ve witnessed the greatest reduction in global poverty in the history of the planet. Attributed to globalization, international trade and freer markets. He referred to the innovation of ideas being highly relevant to climate change issues, referencing the plunging price of solar power, rising efficiency of large scale wind power. The energy transition that will be underway through the next 2 decades and beyond. Forecasts of global fossil fuel use based on current technologies will be wildly overstated. We should all be skeptical of the intense politicalization of climate science debates.  It’s always suspicious when scientific issues seem to line up with political positions. The Left/Right Divide tends to correlate with alarmist/sceptic positions, this is weird from whichever side you come from. Seymour admitted “Personally I am in the ‘luke-warmist’ camp as outlined by Matt Ridley, meaning I think global warming is real, part of it is probably man-made. But I am skeptical as to the  degree to which it is dangerous. I have a moderately well informed opinion

Seymour refers to ludicrous claims of near scientific infallibility, science by nature is uncertain. The earth is warming ever since the end of the ice age, that’s true, what happens at the end of the ice age, small or big is pretty much by definition. Saying humans had some influence on warming in recent times, say late 20^th century. But its about NZ doing its bit, even though how much warming is uncertain, it’s precautionary to take some action. As time passes and knowledge improves we will find out whether NZ should be responding with greater urgency or lesser. Whatever NZ does as to the impact on global warming there will be zero outcomes, however there is a strong case for NZ to contribute as good global citizens, it’s about doing our bit, even though the contribution is tiny and will NOT determine outcomes. Saying this applies even if one  is skeptical about the more extreme alarmist enthusiasms of the climate change zealots, especially those that have built a political program around it. Referring to NZs ETS Scheme he said “the complexity, cost, the rort involved in global emissions trading Acts policy has always been to dump the ETS, it’s a policy disaster.

He said he preferred a simple low tax, then gradually increase the tax like road user charges but the govt should not make a cent out of the revenue from it. If the science suggested the risks of global warming were rising increase the tax, if the science develops the likely risks are lower, lower the tax. As far as NZ is concerned we are very much a passenger as far as global warming is concerned, we can’t have any influence on outcomes.We could gradually increase tax over time, if the science suggested that the risks of global

David Seymour obviously is very uncertain about the global warming debacle. He is in the luke-warmist camp. Accentuates we do not have enough knowledge about global warming as yet, but NZ must do its bit to be good global citizens although will have no effect on outcomes. That extreme global warming alarmist enthusiasms of the climate change zealots have built a political program around it. That the Emissions Trading Scheme is a disaster-complex and costly.

Seymour refers to the ‘doomers’ Thomas Malthus, Club of Rome’s Project/book ‘Limits to Growth’ and the Population Bomb, all being those that practice, believe in the Malthusian theory. That human population will far out grow resources need for the global population to survive, therefore this would bring wars, famine and disease. Not taking into consideration the advancing of technology and the decreasing of populations as is happening now throughout the world. Replacement level of many countries are below 2.1, a population level as set by the IMF & The World Bank (Thomas Malthus Essay 1798 ‘Principle of Population’).

That today the threats of climate change, water scarcity, lack of arable land, energy crisis,famine and endless human population growth fuels the concerns of a ‘Malthusian disaster through a Malthusian Crisis/catastrophe’ that is looming in the 21^st century. (The carrying capacity of a species).  Since the end of World War11, the UN FAO (Food & Agriculture Organization has been collecting world agriculture stats, using this data to study, implement policies to reduce hunger according to specific targets. The FAO developed a definition of ‘Food security’ (FAO, IFAD, WFD 2015). A population that has achieved ‘Food Security would therefore have a PoU of ZERO.

The Oil Crisis on 2008 sparked the beginning of what you see happening today, the uncertainties of the global food market and its ability to feed populations and the Malthusian catastrophe has ,in my opinion been a justification for the Klaus Schwab’s baby ‘Stakeholder capitalism to replace the worlds innovative ‘Free-market Enterprising Economy’ (Corporate Capture). The signing of an Official partnership memorandum between the UN and WEF is documented as, the partnership officially came about to accelerate, advance UN Agenda 2030. The WEF membership has huge political clout and massive funds to support this advancing of UN’s Agenda 2030.

Environmental Malthusianism being the idea that the human population growth is the primary driver of environmental harms and population control is a prerequisite to environmental protection, hence sterilization programs, birth control programme’s and International Planned Parenthood Federation. Margaret  Sanger, a Socialist Activist and believer in Eugenics. Rockefeller Jnr was an early advocate of Sanger’s pioneering work, she originally founded the American Birth Control League which later became the US  Planned Parenthood Federation. (IPPF is affiliated with NZ Family Planning Association)

Slowing down the world’s population by using women’s rights to productive decisions, greater access to education and political decision making can effectively slow down population growth (New York Times 19/08/1994). The third UN sponsored International Conference on Population & Development held in Cairo organized by Margaret Sanger. She was willing to employ ‘Eugenicist and ‘Malthusian’ justifications for birth control. Sanger was granted funds from the Rockefeller Foundation. Margaret Sanger died in 1966 from congestive heart failure.

Environmental Malthusianism, is the idea that human population growth is the primary driver of environmental harms and population control a prerequisite to environmental protection, is experiencing a resurgence (Dean, 2015; Gleditsch, 2021; Kallis, 2019; Robertson, 2012). Early in her career, Sanger became a follower of Thomas Malthus, the same man that inspired Darwin. Malthus’s disciples—then called Malthusians and Neo-Malthusians—taught that ‘if Western civilization were to survive, the physically unfit, the materially poor, the spiritually diseased, the racially inferior, and the mentally incompetent had to somehow be suppressed and isolated—or perhaps even eliminated. As Sanger stressed in a talk given at the Fifth International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference, the end goal of her movement was to produce a superior race: ‘To-day the average reliance of civilization is based upon iron and steel, bricks and mortar, and we must change this to the construction and evolution of humanity itself. To do this she advocated euthanasia, segregation in work camps, sterilization and abortion.²⁵ She was very successful in achieving this goal—more than half of the American states launched programs that sterilized their ‘unfit … with Virginia, California, and Kansas leading the way’.²⁵ Sanger was also very influenced by Havelock Ellis, ‘ … the influential sociologist, “sexologist,” and eugenicist. Ellis’s position on eugenics is summed up by his own statement that appeared in the “Havelock Ellis Number” of Birth Control Review February 1919 issue: “We desire no parents who are not both competent and willing parents. Only such parents are fit to father and mother a future race worthy to rule the world.

Ellis frequently published articles in Birth Control Review, and Ellis had major influence on Sanger’s ideas. Chesler wrote that Ellis, who ‘always considered himself both a eugenicist and a socialist’, converted Sanger to his views. Furthermore, Ellis made his most important contribution to the eugenics doctrine … when he assigned women to act as its chief enforcers. Women are critical agents of civilization’s progress … because … they alone have the power to produce and nurture … fitter babies. … Increased sex expression and wider use of birth control were thus significant tools in the eugenic program, and accordingly, he condemned eugenicists who refused to endorse birth control. Sanger wrote that her concern was not just that feeble-mindedness leads to criminality but ‘ … there is sufficient evidence to lead us to believe that the so-called “borderline cases” are a greater menace than the out-and-out “defective delinquents” who can be supervised, controlled and prevented from procreating their kind. … the mental defective who is glib and plausible, bright looking and attractive, but with a mental vision of seven, eight or nine years, may not merely lower the whole level of intelligence in a school or in a society, but may be encouraged by church and state to increase and multiply until he dominates … an entire community. The presence in the public schools of the mentally defective children of men and women who should never have been parents is a problem that is becoming more and more difficult.’²⁸

As early as 1917 Sanger was openly giving ‘public support to the eugenics movement’ and to ‘race betterment’ programs. The eugenicists on her board believed that ‘birth control would eliminate disease and deformity as well as empty the jails and orphanages’.⁸ Sanger ‘supported sterilization for the incarcerated and considered birth control a necessary component of racial improvement’.³⁰ Her eugenics crusade, although toned down later in her life, was to consume her until she died in 1966. According to Roche, Sanger’s end goal was the same as Hitler’s: to ‘create a race of thoroughbreds’, a pure and superior race and her journal even ‘eerily’ foretold the ‘horrors of the Nazi “final solution”.

Left, the cover of one of Sanger’s openly eugenic books. First published in 1922, it became one of the ‘text books’ of the movement for years and is still in print. Centre, one volume of papers presented at the International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference and published in 1926. The papers published in these proceedings make it clear that Sanger and many of her closest followers were foremost concerned with applying Darwinism to produce a superior race and improve the lot of humankind by eugenics. Right, the cover of one of the many books that Sanger wrote to teach sex-education to young people. This book was written to instruct mothers to teach ‘sex education’ to their young children. It was published in New York by Max N. Maisel, 1916. This set of books openly advocated immoral behaviour such as sex outside of marriage.

Many churches opposed Sanger because she championed ‘sex without consequences’, eugenics, abortion and concentration camps for the unfit—all practices that Christianity has historically opposed. She stressed that she was against especially the Catholic Church because they opposed ‘science’, evolution, eugenics and race improvement.  Sanger sought out allegiances with eugenicists to help blunt the opposition to her from the religious community. The church’s view that the handicapped, diseased and deformed were all equals in the eyes of God ‘struck Sanger as anathema to the dictates of the Brave New World’ that she wanted to create. She even argued that persons ‘whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers’ were ‘irresponsible and reckless’ and that the ‘procreation of this group should be stopped’.

Sanger ‘attributed insanity, epilepsy, criminality, prostitution, pauperism, mental defectiveness’, and ‘everything from child labor to world war’, to ‘unchecked breeding’. The church taught these were sins that could be overcome and had many success stories to support this claim—and followed up on these successes with activities like Catholic charities. Until Hitler was defeated, Sanger did little to support positive eugenics (ie: encouraging the fit to have large families), which may have been supported by the church, but rather until later in her career advocated negative eugenics, the prevention of procreation of the unfit by law and sterilization.

Exporting eugenics and sterilization: Sanger also worked hard to spread her eugenic ideas about ‘human weeds’ to the rest of the world. Sanger also worked hard to spread her eugenic ideas about ‘human weeds’ to the rest of the world. Trombley claimed that eugenics, sterilization and birth control projects on a large scale were an Anglo-American export. He notes that Sanger’s birth control movement was the most powerful in the world, and in England its head offices were based at the London Eugenics Society. Sanger’s movement became a ‘truly international organization with the bulk of its multi-million annual budget coming from the United States.’ Most of the money came from taxes; the rest was donated by large corporations such as General Motors.

Sanger’s movement had an impact in many nations, including India, Singapore, Japan, China, Korea and much of Europe. Her programs involving sterilization of the unfit were adopted by Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and, most infamously, by Nazi Germany. Planned Parenthood today boasts three-quarters of a billion dollars in annual revenue, most paid for by taxpayers, and is active throughout the world. Her role as an icon

Margaret Sanger is still widely admired for her work in the birth control movement. She was listed as one of the most influential persons of the twentieth century by Time-Life and was given many honours during her lifetime including an Honorary Doctorate of Law by Smith College.⁵³ Paul and Anne Ehrlich wrote that ‘America’s heroine in the family planning movement was Margaret Sanger, a nurse. … Sanger and others who joined her rapidly growing birth control movement (then known as the Birth Control League) led the fight for … legal changes and for support from medical, educational, health, and religious organizations. Gloria Steinem wrote a laudatory chapter on Sanger in the Time volume listing the 100 most important Americans. Steinem falsely implied Sanger opposed eugenics and what it stood for and lionized her as a heroine of the women’s movement.

Rewriting history: Although Sanger’s involvement in eugenics and radical politics is well documented, many people today are attempting to whitewash her past eugenics involvement. Her ‘hagiographers, and her most devoted followers in the abortion rights movement, deny and gloss over the eugenicist nature of her program. Reasons for rewriting (or ignoring) history include the fear that ‘exposing birth control’s political history to hostile lawmakers and anti-choice lobbyists’ could affect their political goals. Other persons hid her past because they were concerned about tarnishing her ‘perceived labors on behalf of gender equity, self-determination, and redress of economic and personal privation’. Even many reprints of Sanger’s writings select sections that give a very distorted picture of her beliefs and goals.

Today Planned Parenthood stresses ‘family planning’, but the fact is ‘Sanger sold birth control as the crypto-eugenicist Marie Stopes had, as offering “freedom from fear” … which in aggregate would contribute to the wider social good. The reasoning was straightforwardly eugenic.’ To the end of her life she supported eugenics. In one of her last speeches she ‘attacked welfare programs for not eliminating the “feeble minded and unfit” and proposed “incentive sterilization”’, a program to bribe the ‘unfit’ to be sterilized. NZ affiliated to International Planned Parenthood.

Reasons for her enormous success: A major reason for Sanger’s success was that she met a genuine need of the poor, many of whom had large families they could not adequately support. America, at that time, was changing from an agricultural to an industrial society. Large families could be supported on farms that needed the low-cost labour provided by many children, but large families could not be properly supported by most factory work. This motivated a drive to limit family size, a need that Sanger exploited to further her eugenic goals. The problem is ‘Sanger’s zeal blinded her to the reality that her actions occasionally worked against her desired purposes.

It was only after World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust that Sanger abandoned her dream of producing a socialist, perfected eugenic society. She then played down her eugenic and socialist ideals and increasingly stressed the goals now advocated by Planned Parenthood. In Trombley’s words, ‘after the Nazi atrocities’ she clothed her movement in the words that Planned Parenthood advocates use today because the ‘Nazi’s eugenics became a word to strike fear in the hearts of ordinary people. Thus eugenics re-emerged from the doldrums of the post-Nazi period to exert an influence on a much larger scale than had ever been previously imagined. Partly because of her past association with known racists and a history of several decades of racist and eugenic rhetoric, the name of the American Birth Control League was changed to Planned Parenthood during World War II.¹¹ Unfortunately, despite the name change, the racism of her movement lingered.

Sanger was openly influenced by Darwinists and various radicals in her highly successful campaign against Judeo-Christian morality and in support of eugenics. She worked hard to produce a socialist state based on eugenics, and her movement thrived because it partly fulfilled a real need in the early 1900s. Her movement played a major role in loosening sexual morality, contributing to the current high rate of illegitimacy and sexual immorality. Her goals for society may not have worked in her own life: Flynn claims Sanger died an alcoholic addicted to painkillers, a bitter woman feeling both abandoned and alone, a victim of her youthful, selfish hedonism. She lived and died by her credo published in the Woman Rebel, namely ‘The Right to be Lazy. The Right to be an Unmarried Mother. The Right to Destroy. The Right to Create. The Right to Live and the Right to Love.

The ‘Worlds Population’, Margret Sanger’s Socialist Eugenic Birth Control Activism funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. The Neo-Malthusians such as Margaret Sanger, Warren Thompson, Mukerjee with their vision of a world population reduction due to their perceived predictions of an overcrowded planet, land degradation. The League of Nations International Labour Office and Health Committee created in 1939 the Demographic Committee of Population Research. With the UN, population activists took influential positions. US led philanthropic foundations for example Rcokefeller Foundation and the Population Council with their International conservations on population contrik. The feminist argument for reproductive rights that trumped geo-politics and food security argumens for family planning. NGO’s actively persuring ‘Reproductive health’ and Sexual Health (UNESCO and WHO (UN)Universal Relationship Sexuality curriculum in schools worldwide) all have put ‘Climate Change on the population and environmental limits on todays globalization ‘global boiling’ agenda today. Hence ‘Population replacement levels are seriously declining in many countries worldwide, including in New Zealand.

Replacement of Population level for a population to survive was set by the IMP and World Bank at 2.1 New Zealand Population Level is currently 1.6 well below Population Level of 2.1. I personally call this a Neo-Malthusian  ‘Communist Degrowth’ which advances a World Governance to control all human-kind through a ‘Fear Factor’ compliancy.

Socialism-Communism and Neo Nazism ‘survival of the fittest’ and growing ‘Environmental Concerns’ and ‘Population Control’. October 1999 the worlds population reached 6 billion hence influential leaders of neo Malthusian theory were worried that the earth would run out of resources and the environment could not sustain the population at that time. The assumption was made that the more inhabitants on earth the less resources to provide for them, thus creating environmental problems. Population control had been hotley debated as a controversial issue since 1994 UN Population Conference in Cairo and captured the attention of the US Congress. Population control formed huge alliances that brought together environmental and family planning special interest groups about, private funding by philanthropists such as the Rockefeller Foundation funded the cause of these interest groups. 1997 Media Millionaire Ted Turner donated large sums of money to population control, donating $1Billion to the UN Population Fund in February 1999 at this time population control became funded by some of the world wealthiest such as Bill Gates who donated the largest private donation recorded in history $2.2 Billion to support population control.

See UN Population Fund Hails Bill & Melinda Gates’ $2.2 Billion Donation, M2 PREsswiRE, Feb. 12, 1999, available in 1999 WL 12604836. The United Nations Population Fund hailed the $2.2 billion donation given to the William H. Gates Foundation, a family foundation specializing in supporting population and health projects worldwide.

POPULATION & ENVIRONMENT: RETHINKING THE DEBATE 1-2 (Lourdes Arizpe et al. eds., 1994) (noting that complex issues not addressed despite scientific advances must be addressed, and that population-environment debate has not significantly progressed in over 20 years). In order “[flor social scientists to better understand the human dimensions of environmental change, both at the global and local level, they must ultimately adapt their models and analyses by collaborating with natural scientists.”

Population controls link to the environment has been used as justification for regulation of fertility independent of economic concerns. The impact of the worlds population being 6 billion presented National and International policy such as environmental degradation which requires the global community’s need for effective action. Because of the complex issues, factors were to be considered in order to find a successful solution to the worlds environmental and social concerns Factors that include culture, government, tradition and religion and governmental doctrines upon the people these are imposed upon. The current state of the environment ‘population control’ includes us policies and international initiatives, that are collaborative, analyzes, encourages and promotes immoral policies micro level provides data regarding social and economic factors that mediate the relation between population and the environment. See id. at 3. The population-environment issue “does not just involve absolute numbers of people nor even just population densities or overall rates of increase, but also, in important ways, social, political, and institutional factors.” Id.; see also Harold Coward, Religious Responses to the Population Sustainability Problematic: Implications for Law, 27 ENVTL. L. 1169, 1170 (1997) (noting that religion and law can work powerfully together to protect both humans and nature from unethical exploitation). For further discussion of religion, philosophy, government and cultural perspectives on population control, see infra notes 70-108 and accompanying text.

United States policies and international initiatives.18 Section IV analyzes the population-environment connection, discuss ing past and current theories.1 9 Section V raises alternatives to population control.20 Lastly, Section VI concludes the Comment suggesting that population control is not the solution to the Earth’s environmental problems.  A debate exists over the current state of the environment and the Earth’s resources.2 2 On one side of the debate are those who hypothesize that the Earth is running out of natural resources, and the human race is therefore on the brink of disaster.  People agreeing with this hypothesis claim the Earth will soon reach its limited “carrying capacity.”  They claim, therefore, that “only a few decades remain to stop unrestrained population growth and environmentally devastating economic practices before efforts to achieve a sustainable future ‘will be lost and prospects for humanity immeasurably diminished.’- On the other side of the debate are those who believe that although there have been, and still are, environmental problems, current measures have improved these problems.  In addition, they believe the Earth does not have a limited “carrying capacity” and that natural resources will continue to be plentiful. (carrying Capacity as in Malthusian Theory)

Doomsayers’ viewpoint, shared by many conventional environmentalists, argues the human dilemma in Terrible Toos terms: There are too many of us! We consume too much! We rely too heavily on technology, which we understand too poorly!” Id. See generally ALBERT GORE, EARTH IN THE BALANCE: ECOLOGY AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT (1992) (noting problems facing environment so severe that if urgent measures not taken soon, we may reach point of no return

David Seymour had obviously read the history around the corruption of the Eco-Socialist-Marxist Global Agenda and Climate Doomism – The Club of Rome and the Limits To Growth. Malthusian and sits on the fence stating in his book that we must be good global citizens.

The International Maritime Organization (UN) established in 2019 that ships that cross oceans are collectively generating too much green house gases. Therefore the Eu and the International Maritime Organization (IOM) have decided to make the cost of shipping much more expensive, and to reduce shipping services. This has been reported to cause a major impact on global supply chains. Shipping companies were warned to start preparing for this 2 years ago as this will certainly be a global challenge as changes are to take place, which will change how shipping companies operate on many trans-oceanic and regional routes. The IOM is a UN Agency, responsible for regulating shipping right across the globe. This means significant implications as to how container lines redesign their services, hence there will be huge consequences for production location choices that underpin the global supply chains.

EU regulations were to be passed at the end of last year, but the initial phase was about to start at the beginning of this year- 2023 with added costs and complexities. Managers of supply chains have been warned about these changes back in 2021 and told to plan for them to start in 2023. New Zealand relies on Marime transport for fuel, oil, coal and other goods that are shipped to NZ. Shipping is the backbone to international trade. Obviously the UN Agency IOM have complete control of this. Shipping is the most cost effective ways to move grains, oil, coal etc., by containerized cargo ships that travel over long distance. Its difficult for oceanic shipping to eliminate CO2 as these ships need to consume large amount of energy over long distances without refueling, however the UN Agency IOM is intent in deployed Net Zero Fuels ASAP, as soon as 2030 (Within 7 years)

The IMO (UN) rules began in January 2023 this requires individual ships to measure and report on a carbon intensity index, in the form of an annual efficiency ratio (AER). The AER is a function of a ships deadweight tonnage (DWT). That is how much weight the ship can carry in cargo, fuel, crew, fresh water, passengers, supplies etc., Plus what type of fuel the ship consumes and how far it traveled in the previous year. This data has been part of the IMO (UN) mandatory annual submission since 2019 for ships over 5,000 DWT (Dead Weight Tonnage). The AER is used to grade a ship either A B C D or E. Ships receiving a Grade A, B or C will be deemed complaint for that year. Ships graded D have 3 years grace during which the shipping owner has to somehow become compliant to IOM (UN) rules. Ships graded E have one year to become compliant. The grading criteria is to become tougher year by year.

Non-compliant ship owners will have their vessels taken out of service and these ships are likely to be scrapped…A significant number of ships will be classed as non-compliant most of these will be older ships and smaller ships which are that of standard size container ships (Less than 8,000 TEU capacity). To improve the grade of ships there will be the need to switch to fuels that generate less CO2. This is very challenging because many fuels do not have the necessary energy density. Shipping companies will have to look at bio-based marine fuel and other options. But all depends how fast suppliers can scale up production for massive quantities of fuel that will be needed.

Originally it was thought the LNG would be advantageous over the near term, but LNG prices have skyrocketed, consideration has been given to some form of hydrogen fuel. But shipping owners still have concerns as they will have to look at how a ship is operated because the carbon intensity measured is tied to how much weight is moved per unit of distance. For instance, larger ships sailing routes with fewer ports will earn higher grades over that of smaller ships that call at lots of ports. Ships can slow down their speed to reduce fuel consumption, but this also means reducing the annual cargo hauling capacity of what are expensive assets and crews.

Many ships will require a technical refinement, the upgrading of engines and emissions controls, this could mean retrofitting engines so that they can run on alternative fuels. Changes may have to be made around the Hull, or upgrading of the ships propellers. Jeremy Nixon the CEO of Ocean Network Express, a global container shipping industry company estimated at a conference in January 2021 that the global container shipping industry will have to invest as least $1.5 trillion over the next 20-30 years to meet UN ION targets. Saying this is an enormous cost to shipping. The costs and implications of decarbonization for companies and their supply chains will never return to pre pandemic times. There are huge concerns as to shipping meeting IOM (UN) rules. Bulk carriers risk facing significant challenges because so many older ships are used, and it’s the older ships that may be taken out of service due to IOM (UN) rules. Ports of call maybe dropped, schedules changed, less frequent services, higher costs with the (UN) IOM favouring larger efficient ships with fewer ports of call and  less frequent services with maximum capacity utilization per ship and changing shipping logistics

Back here in New Zealand there was speeches in the Beehive on the 9^th April 2018. It was stated that “shipping must play its part in the global effort to halt climate change”. James Shaw, Julie Anne Genter were the speakers in the House. On the 9^th April 2018 NZ released a statement in negotiations held in  London as to the ION (UN) as to a greenhouse strategy  during which UN Member States planned to work together on ambitious outcomes referencing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. NZ urged the (UN) Agency of the IOM, “do not miss this opportunity to adopt an effective strategy to bring greenhouse emissions for global shipping under control”. Saying “the UN agency IOM needs to be ambitious with measurements, to implement them ASAP, and this needs to apply to all UN Member States and to all ships equally regardless of which State a ship is registered in. James Shaw said “ New Zealand joins with Pacific Island states in urging all countries to redouble their efforts to ensure that the UN Agency IMO achieves a credible and ambitious result.”  (Can’t see China falling for this one)

A speaker at the Beehive said that “NZ was proud to sign the Tony de Brum Declaration at the One Planet Summit held in Paris, confirming that international shipping must play a part in climate action. The Tony De Brum Declaration stressed the responsibility to act urgently to reduce greenhouse emissions. The shipping nations signed the De Brum Declaration on a climate change commitment. The declaration is named after the late foreign Minister of the Marshall Islands. He was a strong support of the UN Agency IOM to curb emissions from shipping globally. The declaration was signed by the following countries: Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Comoros, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

NOTE: They knew about the risks impacts and disruption to shipping and still pulled the plug on Marsden Point.NZ is still reliant on coal that is also shipped into New Zealand. In 2021 over a million tonnes of cheap dirty filthy dusty coal was imported to NZ from Indonesia
