ACT PARTY DELETES CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY ‘STUFF NZ 27th February 2016 (Article Henry Cooke)

ACT deletes climate change policy from their website

ACT has removed their climate change policy from their website – reportedly on the same day leader David Seymour launched a blistering attack on the Green Party’s environmental record.  ….The 2008 policy, which claimed New Zealand was not warming and pledged to withdraw the country from the Kyoto Protocol, was unavailable on the ACT Party’s website as of Friday evening.

“New Zealand is not warming,” the Policy Paper said “If it were to warm moderately, we would likely benefit in terms of land-based production, human health and reduced heating bills. Arguments that we would lose from sea-level rise or more extreme events are unproven conjectures.”

Links to the policy are still catalogued by Google and a cached version is available. A user on Reddit said that the policy was available on the website as late as Friday morning, but this claim could not be independently verified.

Seymour released a scathing attack on the Green Party on Friday, stating they did “bugger all for the environment”.  Reached by telephone on Saturday morning, Seymour did not confirm or deny the deletion of the policy. David Seymour responded “The thing about websites is that you can always say that something was or wasn’t on a website at some point in the past,”….And added  “It’s the easiest thing in the world to claim and impossible to prove.”

Seymour called later to confirm that the policy had been on the website’s server but not actively linked to for “a long time – at least two years.”. He emphasized that his party was focusing on the 2017 election, not the past. He suspected that media were being tipped off about the deletion by someone in the Green Party, “who have been underperforming at representing NZ on the environment. …. Saying “I know which election I’m focusing on. If they want to focus on another one they are welcome to.”

The ACT Party are holding their annual conference at Orakei Bay this weekend, and a focus on the environment is suspected. Seymour said the party had never denied the existence of climate change. He described himself as a “luke-warmer. Saying that “I believe it is real, and a portion of it is manmade, but I question the extent to which it is dangerous,” he then said “Since the industrial revolution we’ve increased the concentration of C02 by about 100 part per million. No question about that.”

In the  first page of the deleted policy paper:- He called for a more scientific and mature discussion of the issue. Saying “I think it is time for a slightly more intelligent debate. Otherwise its a bit like being back in the playground – ‘Are you are a denier or are you a good person?  It’s all a bit puerile.” And – “It’s actually a scientific debate – and quite a complex one.”

David Seymour launches attack on Greens, says they’re ‘doing bugger all for the environment’

ACT leader David Seymour is readying to fire shots across the Green Party bow, accusing them of “socialist economics” and neglecting the environment. He said they also “just really piss me off”.  The rank and file behind the single-MP party will gather at Auckland’s exclusive Orakei Bay this weekend for their annual conference, which is expected to carry a heavy environmental theme. It’s understood Seymour will announce an environmental policy, geared around private enterprise playing a greater role in conservation.

It’s unclear exactly what that will include, but is expected to centre on Government incentives to increase private environmental custodianship, and moves to better define ownership. Seymour was keen to boost the party’s environmental credentials, saying they had gone under-reported in the past.

And he took issue with the “hypocrisy of the Greens”,  monopolizing environmental issues. “They have squatted on this piece of political real estate, while doing bugger all for the environment and often doing things that are counter-productive, because they don’t understand markets.

“They annoy me enormously, and I just think it’s wrong because I actually do care about the environment and I think it’s an important part of being a New Zealander,” he said. “What you’ve got is a group of people who are actually running a completely separate agenda which is socialist-economics, and neglecting [the environment]. “The reality is they just piss me off.”

He cited a bill by Green MP Gareth Hughes last year, which sought to regulate the buy-back rate that electricity retailers charged people selling solar power back into the grid. “If his bill had succeeded then you would have ended up with retailers saying we don’t want to be in business, and if you’d set it too low then people considering installing solar panels would have said the returns aren’t as good as they could be

“It’s one little example of a supposedly environmental party, with a supposedly environmental policy which if it had succeeded, would have actually reduced the uptake of solar one way or another, and increased emissions from the New Zealand electricity industry.”.. Green Party co-leader James Shaw declined to comment, but a Green party spokesperson said Seymour’s gestures appeared token. .. ACT seems to be claiming some kind of road to Damascus epiphany that the environment is worth saving.

“David could start by supporting our call for a moratorium on further dairy conversions on the Waikato River to help make it swimmable again.”.. Seymour’s keynote address would focus heavily on what he calls the four Ps of free-market environmentalism – private initiative, property rights, pricing and prosperity.  ACT members looking to flash their green side will also be able to book a ride in a Tesla S – an electric powered sports car that can outpace most high-performance sports vehicles.

Others lined up to speak at the conference would cover child poverty, the Government’s position on superannuation and victim support.

Nick Kearney ACT Climate Policy 2008

In 2008, the ACT Party’s climate policy, supported by candidates like Nick Kearney (who stood for the party in the North Shore electorate that year), was rooted in climate skepticism and opposition to government intervention in the economy.

2008 ACT Climate Policy Highlights:-

Climate Skepticism: The party’s official 2008 policy paper explicitly stated that “New Zealand is not warming”. It argued that moderate warming would likely benefit New Zealand through increased land productivity and reduced heating bills.                                                                                                                                                                                                               Opposition to Kyoto Protocol: ACT pledged to withdraw New Zealand from the Kyoto Protocol, describing the arguments for sea-level rise and extreme weather events as “unproven conjectures”.

Opposition to the ETS: ACT was a vocal critic of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) introduced by the Labour government in September 2008. To protest the legislation, the party famously performed street theatre featuring a “witch” whipping a “farmer” who was dragging a large cheque made out to Russia for $5 billion, representing the cost to taxpayers.

Alternative Energy: Rather than carbon mitigation, the party argued for investment in “proper alternatives” such as nuclear power, while dismissing renewable energy like wind and solar as unachievable and unnecessary for cutting emissions.  Nick Kearney’s Role in 2008:- Candidate Stance: As the ACT candidate for North Shore in 2008, Kearney adhered to the party’s platform of fiscal conservatism and limited regulation.

Review of ETS: Following the 2008 election, ACT entered a confidence-and-supply agreement with the National Party. A key condition of this deal was a formal review of the Emissions Trading Scheme, which ultimately led to the significant watering down of the scheme in 2009 (e.g., the “two-for-one” deal where emitters only paid for half their emissions).

NOTE: The 2 for one deal ‘ NZ the biggest Climate Cheats in the World’. Buying cheap Russian & Ukraine Carbon Units knowing they were fraudulent. Contid to do so whilst they were kept for profiting for a future date. (2 Gareth Morgan Reports)

Controversy: In 2010, it was revealed that Kearney, then an ACT Board Member, had been involved in sharing sensitive government papers regarding the ETS with political activists to encourage public opposition. By 2016, the ACT Party removed the specific “New Zealand is not warming” language from its website, shifting its focus toward the economic inefficiency of domestic targets relative to global emissions.

NICK KEARNEY’S STANCE:

Prioritization: In 2025 local body election surveys, Kearney rated climate change action a 7 out of 10 in importance for decision-making.   Core Beliefs: As a candidate for Christchurch City Council, he emphasized protecting the environment as a priority, alongside tackling rising rates and improving service delivery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Economic Focus: Historically, Kearney has critiqued policies that he believes harm small investors, such as previous government attempts to remove rental tax write-offs, reflecting ACT’s broader economic-first approach to regulation.

ACT Party’s 2026 Climate Policies:  As part of the current coalition government, ACT has successfully pushed for significant revisions to New Zealand’s climate legal framework.

Weakening International Alignment: ACT advocates for “taking back control” by removing requirements for the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to align with international targets under the Paris Agreement. The party argues that Paris is “broken” and that New Zealand should be prepared to walk away if reforms aren’t achieved.

Legislative Changes (2025–2026):-

Zero Carbon Act: ACT has long sought to repeal or significantly weaken the Zero Carbon Act and the Climate Change Commission.

Methane Targets  The government is introducing legislation to weaken the 2050 biogenic methane target from the original 24–47% reduction to a less ambitious 14–24%.

Carbon Neutral Government: The deadline for government organizations to achieve carbon neutrality was shifted from 2025 to 2050.

Agricultural Emissions: ACT firmly opposes emissions pricing for agriculture, arguing it would gut rural New Zealand for no global environmental gain.

Infrastructure over Mitigation: ACT proposes shifting focus from “wasting billions” on mitigation to building resilient infrastructure (stormwater, bridges, ports) capable of handling extreme weather events.

Energy Policy: The party supports lifting bans on offshore gas exploration and treating coal mining as any other mining to ensure energy reliability.

 

ACT Climate Change Policy (2008)

Goal:  That no New Zealand government will ever impose needless and unjustified taxation or regulation on its citizens in a misguided attempt to reduce global warming or become a world leader in carbon neutrality.

Background

  • The Labour Government is determined that New Zealand will lead the world in the race to carbon neutrality even though nothing New Zealand could do, including disappearing off the face of the planet, would have any impact on global climate.
  • New Zealand is not warming. There is no warming trend since 1970 and the slight warming trend since 1950 is not statistically significant.
  • If it were to warm moderately, we would likely benefit in terms of land-based production, human health and reduced heating bills. Arguments that we would lose from sea-level rise or more extreme events are unproven conjectures.
  • Policies to reduce emissions in New Zealand could not conceivably reduce global warming, even if warming were globally harmful.
  • The Government ratified the Kyoto Protocol in advance of Australia for short-term political gain without the benefit of any supporting analysis from Treasury. New Zealand can expect to pay billions of dollars to foreign governments like Russia, for carbon credits to offset their emissions.
  • Now the government wants to force us all to pay more for fuel and electricity beyond 2012.
  • Treasury’s analysis of the Emissions Trading Scheme made no case that its benefits would exceed the costs. The scheme lends itself to corrupt allocations of permits and seedy MMP negotiations were necessary to ram it through parliament.
  • It is reckless to distort the New Zealand economy in the cause of an ineffectual Protocol that expires in 2012 and won’t be rolled forward because its 1990 targets are unacceptable to China and the United States.
  • The NZ Institute of Economic Research states in their 2008 study “The Impact of the Proposed Emissions Trading Scheme” that:
  • Dairy land values will fall by 40%
  • Beef and sheep land values will fall by 23%
  • Annual household incomes will fall by $3,000
  • The average hourly rate will fall by $2.30
  • Annually 22,000 new jobs will be lost
  • Only ACT opposes Labour in seeking to force New Zealanders to pay much more for energy and electricity.
  • ACT believes that New Zealand can play a responsible role in the international community while keeping its powder dry. In particular, it should not move faster than Australia or the United States.

PRINCIPLES

Freedom – People should be free to live and work how they choose, including making their own decisions as to what light bulbs to use, unless there is clear scientific evidence that their actions are damaging the environment, or unless they are harming others

Put New Zealanders needs first – Until there is clear scientific evidence that we should do otherwise, energy policy should be primarily concerned with affordability and stability of supply.

Proceed with caution – The precautionary principle works both ways. „Green Business‟ opportunities which address non-existent problems and needs are not “business opportunities” but a massive risk and likely to destroy wealth on a massive scale

Do not make needless rods for our own backs – The government is globally unique including methane gas (produced by ruminants) in calculating our Kyoto commitments. This is extreme, contrary to all other member countries and should be amended

Distinguish between real pollutants and carbon dioxide – carbon dioxide is a vital and necessary greenhouse gas crucial for plant growth and human survival

Make decisions based on sound science – not on blind belief or ideology which is increasingly divorced from reason

A commonsense approach to Climate Change would recognize that:-

  • There is no point destroying our economy in pursuit of „carbon neutrality‟ if carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are not driving global warming.
  • Any carbon trading scheme is prone to fraud – and indeed invites fraud

POLICY DETAIL

  • ACT will repeal the Emissions Trading Scheme and withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol
  • Major investments in infrastructure will not depend on the anti-global warming hypothesis for their economic viability. (Hydro power and geothermal power stands on its own feet.)
  • Reform the Resource Management Act and Local Government Act to be neutral on climate change and „sustainability‟ (often a code word for anti-global warming).
  • Reform Transport legislation to make transport serve efficiency and mobility rather than „sustainability‟ unless a real issue of sustainability can be identified
  • Ensure that government agencies and advisors acknowledge any conflicts of interest.

If you believe that New Zealanders should not be taxed on the basis of unproven global warming theories, then give ACT your Party vote, for better informed policy on climate change

ICE FREE DOES NOT MEAN FREE OF ICE ‘ANTACTICA ROSS SHELF’

Antarctica is almost entirely covered by ice sheets up to two miles (3 km) thick, which contain roughly 70% of the world’s freshwater. The great ice sheets spill out to sea as floating ice-shelves and ice-tongues, which routinely calve massive icebergs into the waters around Antarctica. The Ross Sea ice shelf is one the largest ice shelves in the world. It is the size of France, and though the 200-foot-tall cliffs of ice extend 500 miles, that is just, as they say, the tip of the iceberg. Most of the ice lies hidden below the cold, dark salt water.

The Ross Ice Shelf is freezing not melting scientists say they are surprised to find this. (Feb 23rd 2018). The report states that “In November, scientists from New Zealand used a hot water drill to go deep into Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf. The shelf, which can be up to 10,000 feet thick, is the largest of several that hold back West Antarctica’s massive amounts of ice. If these were to collapse, global sea level would rise by ten feet. Drilling a hole and lowering a camera and thermometer inside is a way for researchers to understand the history of the shelf, and what is happening to it now. In measuring the temperature and currents below the shelf, they expected to find that the ice was melting.

Instead, the water appeared to be crystalizing and freezing. In the video from National Geographic below, you can see the white dots of ice crystals as the camera is lowered towards the dark sea below. If the shelf was melting, the hole at that level would have smooth sides. “It blew our minds,” Christina Hulbe, the glaciologist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who co-led the project, told National Geographic.

Scientists have left instruments deep in the hole to measure currents and temperatures below the shelf for the next few years. Though the freezing seems to be a promising sign for the shelf’s stability, it doesn’t tell the whole picture. Scientists also hope to learn whether the ice shelf has melted in the past due to other climate shifts.

However, the NZ Scientists state that NASA confirmed we are losing ice much faster , and of course more research has to be done on the Ross Ice Shelf  (Of course-for the sake of climate alarmism-bullshite)

One of the leading authorities on the physics of the northern seas predicted an ‘ice-free’ Artic Ocean by the year 2020 (Source UN). Alaska News 3/11/2014 updated 29/9/2016. UN releases Climate Report ‘Ice Free’ does not really mean ‘Free of Ice’

Closer to home, David Seymour- ACT Party authored a book in 2017 stating that however much NZ cuts back on emissions they will make no difference to climate change but they will be good global citizens.

BYRON CLARK’S CLIMATE ALARMISM NIGHT SCHOOL

Byron Clark is a self appointed so called expert in New Zealand Far Right, Alt Right Extremism. An expert in character assassinating those who opposed the COVID Jabs of those people  whom sought medical freedom as he targeted them with the phrase ‘anti-vaxer’s’, now he is a self proclaimed expert in Climate.  My personal opinion is that he is an ‘arse-wipe’, targeting law abiding citizens of New Zealand. He has recently been awarded a monetary prize for his expertise on disinformation. Clark has the credentials of being an expert liar. I personally believe he is a danger to all law abiding New Zealander’s. Clark and Henks Night School Project is being established in NZ and US, some are calling this a global night school on Climate change disinformation

DAVID SEYMOUR VERY SLIGHTLY SKIRTS AROUND THE EDGES REFERRING TO CLIMATE DOOMISM

ACT CALLS OUT ‘CLIMATE DOOMISM,2017 ‘A SUBMISSION CALLING CLIMATE CHANGE A HOAX’

David Seymour author of Own Your Own Future ‘A Liberal Vision for New Zealand 2017’, published by the ACT Party 2017

PAGE 170- 173 Chapter entitled ‘In ACT we tend to be optimistic’ . We embrace markets and technological innovation. Refers to Climate Alarmism. ‘The reason the DOOMSTERS get the FUTURE WRONG is that they underestimate or even IGNORE technological change. If you PREDICT the FUTRE on the basis of the current technology YOU WILL BE WRONG.

Not just a LITTLE WRONG but WILDLY WRONG. There have been a few PESSIMISTS gone wrong over the years from ‘MATHUS ON POPULATION in 1798 to EHRLICH in 1968 THE POPULATION BOMB to the CLUB OF ROME in 1972 (LIMITS TO GROWTH) to AL GORE claiming in 2006 that we only had 10 years left to Save The Planet. But we are still here. Seymour adds “In fact the past 30 years have witnessed the greatest reduction in global poverty in the history of the planet. He embraces the Free Market Enterprise Economies of the worlds

Stating  “Forecasts on global fossil fuel use that are based on current technologies will be WILDLY OVERSTATED. That we should all be SCEPTICAL  of the intense politicization of Climate science debates. It is always suspicious when scientific issues seem to line up with political positions

The left/right divide tends to correlate with alarmist/ sceptic positions, and that’s weird whatever way you look at it. Saying “I am a LUKE WARMIST’ I am skeptical about the degree man made climate change , to degree to which it is dangerous, saying he has a moderately well informed opinion. The fact is that science, all science by the nature of science is uncertain. The earth has been warming since the end of the ice age is true, that’s what happens at the end of an ice age. He did not know how much humans has an influence on warming, “how much is uncertain”, he said

Adding  “whatever actions NZ takes will have effectively ZERO impact on global warming outcomes. But there is a strong case for NZrs to contribute as Good Global Citizens, its doing our bit, but will not determine the outcomes  “Even if one is skeptical; about the more extremist climate alarmist enthusiasm of the climate change zealots, those who have built a political program around it. As far as global warming is concerned NZ is very much a passenger, we cant have any influence on the outcomes

27th February 2023 CNN reports China approved equivalent of two coal plants per week in 2022. A 2023 New report “China is surging ahead with coal, a new report shows, rapidly approving and building new power plants despite its own promises to cut back on carbon as the world plunges ever deeper into the climate crisis.”. 22nd March 2023 Reuters reports China’s new coal plants costly 2nd fiddle to renewables

China’s plans for some 100 new coal-fired power plants to back up wind and solar capacity. NZ Geographic Science and environment ‘Coal warms our hospitals and schools, ripens our tomatoes, makes roses bloom, turns iron-sand into steel, dries milk powder for export, and generates electricity when hydro lakes are low and gas production sputters’.

In 2020, according to the International Energy Agency, Indonesia produced around 529 million tonnes of coal, including more than one million tonnes sold to New Zealand. We also imported 95,000 tonnes from Australia, and virtually all of it was low-grade (so-called sub-bituminous)—coal that’s low in energy value. But our 2021 imports dwarfed even those volumes: a record 1.8 million tonnes. One of the biggest customers were Genesis Energy. Genesis Energy 51% shareholding by the government.

Genesis routinely promises to quit coal, but Nature—and the realities of New Zealand’s energy market—has made that difficult. In 2015, Genesis announced it would stop burning coal at Huntly by late 2018. Over the next few years, it deferred that target to 2022, then 2030.

Newsroom reported 15/11/2021 In 2021 Contact Energy warns against chaotic closure of gas power plants. Contact Energy says power companies are making disorderly decisions to shut down coal and gas plants – and cites its own decision to decommission its 377 megawatt Taranaki Combined Cycle gas power plant in 2023. UN reports 8/8/2015  ’ NZ pledges an end to coal by 2018

Stating that “It appears that New Zealand is finally ready to throw their domestic coal habit into Mount Doom — by 2018, the country will cease to use coal as a source of domestic energy production”

New Zealand has more than 15 billion tons of known coal reserves in the ground, and says that more than half of those resources are probably recoverable. In 2013, New Zealand extracted 4.6 million tons of coal, exporting a little less than half of it — mostly to Asia, where it’s used to power steel manufacturing. Nearly two-thirds of New Zealand’s coal comes from just two mines — in the Waikato (about 63 miles from Auckland) and Stockton on the West Coast

Stuff NZ reported 2nd February 2021 Climate Change Report “Whats the Future of Gas?” Small businesses like restaurants and cafes could be impacted after the Climate Change Commission released its first report, with a raft of targets proposed to cut New Zealand’s emissions.

IPCC (UN) Malthus (Referring back to Seymours book). And IPCC Report as climate researchers and environmentalist still follow Malthusianism. Which focuses  “overpopulation” as a main cause of environmental degradation. Degrowth actually reproduces this faulty notion through the proposition that once resources and wealth are equally redistributed (which degrowth rightly wants to do), there must be some “check” on population because, as population grows without any added economic growth, people will eventually have access to fewer and fewer resources.

Does not take into consideration advancement of technology and now a de-populating world. (NZ Replace rate per population being 2.1 is now 1.6) Depopulation has also occurred in other countries over the last few years. Seymour refers to ‘Limits to Growth’ in his climate doomism statement in his book.  Over the last few years UN Nation States have taken this ‘Degrowth’ initiative. (Article in WEF)

The  theory of degrowth, which has been taken up by the IPCC, may have its origins in the 1972 Club of Rome “Limits to Growth” (Meadows 1972),  Malthus an environmental  degrowth reproduces Malthusian ideas about so-called “natural limits;” 2) it’s anti-modern and anti-technological orientation lacks a class perspective; and 3) there are key practical issues with deploying degrowth ideas in the class struggle itself. ideology and bad politics

Michael Davidson Submission 2nd June 2015 to NZ Government on ‘Man Made Global Warming. As Davidson puts forward his argument that ‘Man Made Global Warming is a Scam’ (41 Page submission). That man-made global warming is not occurring, it’s a scam, a hoax to generate fear and panic.  To control peoples beliefs for financial gain. Refers to the worlds unquestioning population whom have fallen victim to this global propaganda, causing widespread misconception, the climatic change campaigners and the largely UN IPSS that have mounted one of the most well funded massive propaganda campaigns in history alongside a compliant media

Similar to Seymours reference to Al Gore and his fictional prediction. Michael Davidson refers to Al Gore has netted 100’s of millions of dollars advocating man made global warming and the lies that America tells supporting Al Gore. And how widespread belief has come about that provides policy agenda’s in NZ and elsewhere when it comes to this what Seymour describes as Climate doomism.

2015 Davidson reporting that the amount currently spent on globally reducing human kinds carbon footprint is in the trillions of dollars every year (Bell 2015). That this is absolutely ridiculous as it has not been scientifically proven that increased CO2 in the atmosphere will cause either significant global warming or climatic disasters. He referenced Dr.  Judith Curry Professor and former Chair of the School of earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of technology (2015) “Even if the USA is successful in meeting 80% reductions of CO2 emissions by 2050 it is not going to do anything”

Referring to this being mankind’s effort to control a non-problem with a non-solution is ridiculous and nonsensical. Saying “there is a lack of questioning and understand of the ‘real science’ and this is widespread. Davidson refers to the ‘Inconvenient Truth’ That IPCC is the primary proponent of dramatic global warming, yet its argument is fundamentally flawed because of the way it selectively uses science and manipulates data to support its views.

Saying there is a lack of consideration for opposing views. The nature of IPCC existence is a conflict of interest, a manipulation of data, political funding biases. That Climate change has done what it always has for centuries naturally changed, this is not reflected in the IPCC Assessment reports. IPCC selectively uses science, manipulates research, data and opinion has fueled an extremely biased view that does not reflect the planets actual climate

Michael Davidson Submission to the Climate Commission (NZ Govt) in June 2015 was a response to the NZ Governments proposals to limit fossil fuels production and supply to be carbon free (Carbon Zero) by 2050. He made 9 main points in his submission and also other evidence to support his submission that is 41 pages long.

They are 1 to 9.  (1)The science is still out  as to whether man made CO2 production is causing climate change. Considering the earth has always produced huge quantities of CO2 in erupting volcanoes, rotting animals and vegetation. Fires, swamps human and animal activity- without disrupting the climate

(2) Considering CO2 is essential for plants to absorb growth and to emit oxygen for all other life. Less CO@ will mean less growth and productivity in farming, forestry and food production abd less oxygen in the atmosphere. So reduction in CO2 levels means greater poverty, health malnutrition, greater disease and greater death

(3) Limiting fossil fuel production and use will cost NZ economy dearly in loss of jobs, productivity and prosperity, with farms, factories becoming uneconomical to run and closing down causing huge layoff and unemployment

(4) There will be a huge impact on transport industry, it will struggle to remain viable, due to the enormous cost in replacing huge fleets of vehicles across all modes of transport from planes, to boats, trains, tractors cars , cranes, public transport – to become electric vehicles. These costs will have to be passed onto all other industries making them unviable including retail, tourism, building, this will cause rising prices and low incomes.

(5) Loss of oil and gas production will effect restaurants, home cooking and heating, lighting and mechanics as well as engineering, manufacturing, painting products. Thus reducing our standard of living, our health, our welfare and our efficiency and productivity. Risking NZ becoming a third world country

(6) Limiting NZ’s production and use of fossil fuels while China, India, Africa and so called developing nations are still belching out great volumes of CO2 and toxins into the air, makes a mockery of NZ reducing our piddling  .02% of total CO2 production, at the cost of our economy. As if its going to make a jot of difference (precisely what Seymour said in his 2017 book will make no difference to the outcome- but will contribute NZrs to being good global citizens) Davidson then adds “But this will destroy NZ economically and financially”

(7) Sending carbon tax money to IPCC (UN) will not save the planet or New Zealand. But simpler make Europe a bigger wealthiers monolithic powerhouse.. centralizing control of the world, destroying sovereignty and the power of the Nation

(8) To follow this agenda is to risk NZ losing its independence and self sufficiency and ending up at the mercy of the giant corporations and the global government. (Corporations partner the UN Global Government, Corporation are now included in the Global Governance of the World, controlling Nation States by Internal Rules.

(9) Reducing animal numbers on farms will contribute to the collapse of NZs GDP, prosperity and our Nation-hood. NZ will become dependent on others and on hand outs..

Obviously the three party coalition will not be discussing this submission. With Climate Alarmism being an important part in the global agenda 2030. As 12 out of the 17 Global Development goals of the Global 2030 Decade of Action include Climate Change, including Climate Change having its own global goal. (Controlling the worlds populations)

‘ANOTHER TRUTH BOMB’ NEW ZEALAND’S MOST DESTRUCTIVE POLICY OF ALL GENERATIONS

David Seymour ACT Party leader tippy toeing around the most important information within the content of his book

David Seymour authored a book in 2017 it was published by the ACT Party as he highlights on page 30 of his book ‘the most destructive policies of the generations’.  He describes this as  “we have managed to create an absurd situation in New Zealand. Sadly I say it is clearly evident that what we see now as absurd destructive policies of the generations is the Global Decade of Action implemented by the UN and UN Nation States accompanied by the World Economic Forum implemented locally in New Zealand. Auckland Council vision to be the largest smart livable city worldwide. Mass migration (Climate migration) through Auckland Council collaboration with the Global Mayors Migration taskforce (C40)

Seymour further states that “we have managed to create an absurd situation where NZ  has a 0.8% developed  area, now has a shortage of urban land. The most obvious example of this is Auckland Metropolitan area which is said to increase to another one million in the next 30 years. Auckland region is 1.2 million acres and even if each house has a 2.5 people living in it and each house was on a ¼ acre section then on 10% of the land development would be used up. He stated that “the land shortage is artificial, its like an invisible line on a map”

The Urban/City UN Human Habitat 3 Settlements globally are the every increasing critical weapon to advance the so called Smart Growth Environment. The Urban Containment. Build Up with intensity and diversity all inclusive, an inclusive mass surveillance system to monitor all citizens.

SDG 11 Global Agenda 2030 Make Cities Inclusive,  transformative high impact cities (Human Settlements). Less open spaces, worsening segregation all dependent on Social, Environmental Governance. Controlling peoples lives. Global Agenda 2030 Indigenous Peoples (Maori). A strong engagement with Indigenous Peoples (UN RES/70/1) mentions Indigenous Peoples six times. The Decade of Indigenous People (UN) with funding opportunities, Un country decision making, partnerships with local governments (Councils)

The Indigenous Peoples Approach is DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) Enriching Hapu/Iwi through using CRT Critical Race Theory. An ideology of totalitarianism, tyranny. Oppressed vs Oppressed and victimhood.  Attack, dismantle westernization, whiteness, Christianity, family, traditions (Tribal Feudalism) Cultural Political Marxism. . Its clear to see the resemblance of this ideological tyranny of human rights in the era of Chair Mao Ze Dong, in Communism and Nazism.

Mana Whenua participation at all levels of Local Government (Auckland Council) and other Councils in NZ.

Auckland Council Cultural Marxist, Critical Race Theory, Identity Politics DEI (Diversity Equity Inclusion) Initiatives. Political Marxist ideology. Smart Growth includes Diversity nationwide. Smart Cities, initially hailed as the epitome of technological advancement, may hold a darker truth. Are we unwittingly surrendering our rights, becoming prisoners in a digital realm controlled by councils and the World Economic Forum (WEF)? The stark reality is that ALL COUNCILS are deeply entrenched in the Smart City program (A reference made to a Counterspin Episode)

Auckland City a C40 City collaboration with the Global Mayors Migration Council. As we see mass migration causing havoc in Europe, Ireland, England and now Australia is talking about this in the Senate. New Zealand huge increase in approvals for residential, visitor, work, residence visa’s. Migration officers leave their employment because they were ordered to ignore criminal convictions, do not further investigate, turn a blind eye and ignore, accept as many of these migrant visa’s as quickly as possible. When Migration officers complained, nothing happened, so they left their jobs and then reported this to RNZ, so the public would know what is happening. (3/9/2023 RNZ Behind the scenes get as many approvals through as quickly as possible) 1Stats NZ provisional estimate 34,000 migrants, some estimates are larger, however Stats NZ is only provisional stat estimates. RNZ reports that Auckland population growth may  increase to 2 million by 2030 (31/3/2021). However we are now at the largest annual increase since the 1960’s.

This is yet another Truth Bomb that Local- Central Government will not make into a public debate.

Aucklanders will pay big time for a very long time. Local – Central Government of course will not publicly debate this to the citizens of NZ, as we are living in what you call a ‘Cancel Culture’. New Zealanders discussing this in public will be cancelled out…after all this is another one of those ‘Truth Bombs’

All above are embedded in the most destructive policy of the NZ generation, but of course David Seymour has only dipped his tippy toe in the water and quickly withdraw it hoping it won’t be noticed.
