To take action, we need to act now. How do we plan to take action. This is a human centered approach, by dramatically changing how we move around the region and how we work. Our economy is based less on consumption. We must make radical urgent changes to what we do as individuals, communities and businesses. We must embed mataurangi Maori and Te Ao Maori principles to ensure no-one is left behind.. We will make major shift

The narrative speaks to the struggles of Tāwhirimātea, the primal ancestor associated with weather. Tied to the Māori creation narratives of the universe and the world, Tāwhiri-mātea is seen to be influencing our climate and accelerating the change in our climate in response to human induced climate change.

the climate, as part of a wider whakapapa / intergenerational symbiotic system of relationships, is always moving and changing. We are responding specifically to the impacts of human induced change as a result of western-centred values, behaviours and systems. • our tupuna Atua / primal ancestors are reciprocating those behaviours, which we refer to Te Tāruke-a-Tāwhiri – the struggles of Tāwhiri

The global response to climate change must be underpinned by the best knowledge available. Indigenous knowledge systems

To guide Auckland’s approach to climate action, mana whenua, through the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum has partnered with the council to provide a Te Ao Māori perspective throughout the development of the plan. Early in the process, this forum set up a climate change working group to work with council representatives and subject matter experts on their response to climate change. Climate Change included in all Global Development Goal UN Agenda 2030. Includes Mass Migration ‘Environmental Migration globally)

Leading the response The Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum has taken the lead role in anchoring and guiding a Māori response to climate change within Tāmaki Makaurau and working closely with Māori community organisations. The approach has been underpinned by the following principles: • whakapapa centred approach to understanding and responding to climate change (Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri) • mātauranga Māori forming the foundation to restoring balance with our tupuna Atua • mana whenua-led conversation, focused on a practical expression of our obligations of kaitiakitanga of Tāmaki Makaurau and the manaakitanga of its people and, in particular, our Māori communities..Auckland Council  in Phil Goff signed Auckland City up to the C40 Cities Global Green Deal. This includes support, promoting a Plant based diet. The Auckland Council climate plan reinforces C40 city initiatives. 2018 the Mayors Migration Council introduced the Mayors Migration Declaration through a Global Mayors Mitigation Group.  Planning of future mass migration is to be established by Mayors of C40 cities worldwide. (Climate Refuges namely ‘Environmental Migration)

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a group of 100 global cities  committed to taking bold climate action.

Auckland has been recognised as an Innovator City within the C40 network since 2015 and has endorsed a range of C40 commitments, including: • the Green and Healthy Streets Declaration (formerly the Fossil Fuel Free Streets Declaration) Auckland Council will endorse and enable to put Iwi/Maori framework into action. :

The Auckland Council references the following :- The development of an indigenous measurement tool to support management, prioritization, and measurement of the state of progress against the indigenous framework.

Actively  partnering with Iwi and recognized organizations to co-design and implement reconnection programmes for rangatahi and their whānau. To endorse support resource food sovereignty in accordance with Indigenous measurement tools

Auckland Council is a delegate of the Crown exercising powers of local government in Auckland and has  statutory obligations to Iwi/Māori to recognise, respect the Crown’s responsibility to take appropriate account of the principles of the Treaty.

The Council reports that the Treaty is articulated in law through an evolving set of principles. Treaty principles have been expressed and recognised through a range of courts and the Waitangi Tribunal. They are not exhaustive, and it is recognised that other principles may be developed with time. (NZ’s Founding document ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ did not create Principles nor did it create Partnerships).

The Waitangi Act and the Crown Enterprises Act created these Partnerships and Principles that continue to be entered into our domestic policies and regulation. Not one political crony in the Cesspit of Wellington will stand up and tell the truth about this whole corruption. Instead they keep the corruption going through entering Principles and Partnership time and time again in Bills, Legislations and Regulations.

Whiria Te Muka Tangata is Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework. It brings together the council’s commitments and obligations to Māori. This enables Auckland Council to ensure that it considers how its policies and actions recognise and protect Māori rights and interests, and contribute to Māori needs and aspirations.

Auckland Climate Plan has a Independent Iwi/Maori Statutury Board. They are Non-Elected bodies with specific powers given to them by local and central government to promote cultural, economic, environmental and social issues of significance to Maori. (They mean certain Iwi Elite). This the Auckland Council states is a partnership approach as a Te Titiri partner.  An economic force at Iwi/Maori levels. (There is NO Partnership in Te Tiriti o Waitangi) .  FOLLOW THE MONEY….

ACTIONS: • mātauranga Māori plays an equal role in decisionmaking • establish a Māori Sustainability Office / Think Tank for the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum • establish Mana Whenua supported rangatahi group (intergenerational) • establish an online Māori knowledge and information portal • preparing and educating Māori communities, businesses and landowners for change • promote new ways of collective action

Māori have had to bear the negative impacts of colonisation, westernisation and urbanisation for over 160 years within Tāmaki Makaurau. Any response to climate change needs to consider the impacts on Māori and, in particular, mana whenua. Our collective response to climate change needs to enable sustainable circular Māori economic development and growth and encourage innovation across Māori business ecosystems. A key outcome is to focus on lifting whānau Māori from poverty and transform the conditions of wellbeing with whānau. Mātauranga Māori Mātauranga Māori – Māori knowledge systems and practices hold a key to climate change response. Mātauranga Māori is community-based and collective knowledge that offers valuable insights that complement western scientific data with chronological and landscape specific precision and detail. This is critical to verifying climate models and evaluating change scenarios. Māori knowledge systems and practice provide a strong foundation for community-based adaption and mitigation actions. Mana whenua have been able to observe and interpret change through the environment within Tāmaki Makaurau over many generations.

There will be times when our leaders need to decide and act to protect and enhance mauri before everybody is ready

Climate emergency We are seeing millions of people around the world strike, led by youth calling for a safe climate future. People across Aotearoa have called for decisions and action to protect our regions and our planet from the impacts of climate change. In June 2019, Auckland Council responded to this call and the irrefutable evidence of climate change by declaring that our region is facing climate emergency. By declaring a climate emergency, the council commits to: • incorporate climate change considerations into work programmes and decisions • provide local government leadership in the face of climate change, including collaborating with local and central government partners advocate for greater central government leadership and action on climate change • increase the visibility of our climate change work • lead by example in monitoring and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions • include climate change impact statements on all council committee reports. Responding to the climate emergency will require rapid and transformational change in how we live, work and travel. Our eight priorities identify the actions we need to take in our emergency response

We live in cold times: “We live in the coldest period of the last 10.000 years” , says Danish glaciologist, Jørgen Peder Steffensen who take us back in time to the Grenland ice cores and reveals the secrets from the past.” Today’s warming is not unprecedented and thus no way to tell if human industry has made any difference. Jørgen Peder Steffensen is a professor in ice core related research at the centre for ice and climate at the Niels Bohr Institute the University of Copenhagen.\RNZ reported

THE ROSS ICE SHELF IS FREEZIBNG, NOT MELTING.. Feb 23^rd 2018. Scientists were surprised by their study. 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. It’s a decent sign that catastrophic melting of the Ross Ice Shelf won’t occur in the near future.

Corporate capture is achieving dominance in global affairs from Health, Food, Agriculture, Education, to Advance AI , Societal, Political and Environmental.  The official memorandum partnership signed between the World Economic Forum and the UN 13^th June 2019 that gives corporations access to the UN. Hundreds of organizations from around the world endorsed a collective letter to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, asking the UN to terminate the strategic partnership between the UN and WEF. Which is said to undermine the mandate of the UN’s impartiality and effectiveness as a multilateral body, particularly when it comes to protecting human right, the partnership is seen to be undemocratic

The UN/WEF partnership is reported to formalize a disturbing corporate capture of the UN, this moving the world dangerously towards a global privatized undemocratic global governance. With corporate leaders being whisper advisors to heads of UN Agencies, systems. The UN/WEF official partnership is namely a global corporate marriage, but the worlds citizens are not invited to have any opinion as to how dangerously undemocratic this is. NZ Government have kept NZ Citizens in the dark over such a huge event that does effect every UN Nation State, including NZ. The WEF is a non- elected global organization, not elected to govern the sovereign (people) of NZ.

The WEF/UN Partnership establishes an institutional home for multinational corporations within the UN. The proviso of the partnership included the power and money the WEF would bring to the UN to accelerate the global agenda 2030. To partner the UN to achieve the insane socialist global utopia, solutions for climate change global health, education. No-one talks about how these corporations, the global elite have caused much of the global crisis that they aspire to address. The WEF reported the pandemic crisis as a narrow window of opportunity, the WEF new normal, the Great Reset.

The UN agency heads and the Secretary general himself participates in the World Economic Forum regional level meeting, where UN Nation States individually support and embrace the corporate takeover of the UN. The implementation plan of the WEF first started to develop in 2009 in the wake of the financial crisis, hence calling for a new system of global governance, where corporations would be granted equal status to UN Member Nation States. A multistakeholder system that drew on the WEF’s “blending, balancing many organizations from both private and public sectors, international organization and academic institutions would turn the UN into a global governing Public-Private Institution. Thus turning the UN into a Multistakeholder body. The WEF represent billionaire stakeholders, there was no approval sought for this marriage between the UN/WEF by member states that I can find in my research. The UN’s present day and future involves giving corporate executives crucial say in universal decision making. Influence and global power to corporate actors, the UN/WEF Multistakeholder governance a role in the global governance worldwide.

The question is, is there a huge risk of “UN Nation State Governments being  diluted, instead will  the worlds biggest tech companies and profit driven Big Pharma involved in legislating global rules

What is an example of stakeholders you may ask? At the multistakeholder UN Food System Summit organized by the Secretary General UN, the stakeholders were large agri-businesses, data management companies and commodity leaders. Much of what has happened stems from the Klaus Schwab Global Redesign Initiative report WEF proposing a shift in global governance. This is a 600 plus page pdf that can be found online. Accompanying the mass of WEF corporations are the philanthropist financing mechanism, that finance the corporate world and international decision making of the 2030 Global Redesign Initiative, the so called ‘New Normal’. As the UN Secretary General said as to the post pandemic crisis “We must never go back to the old normal”. The old normal of course is the innovative free-market economy, the freedom of choice, old values, beliefs the worlds populations are to accept the demands of the WEF/UN Global Stakeholder Corporate Global Governance of stakeholderism, corporate capture. (The UN Nation States become the backseat passengers in a global vehicle driven by corporate CEO’s, such as BlackRock the largest  asset manager in the world

Hearing Christopher Luxon press interview today I cannot but help pick up on this embracing of the International Global Order, which actually is driven by stakeholder corporate communism. He uses the language of the UN/WEF, and speaks of his worldly experience which includes UNILEVER member of WEF Corporatization.

A Review and gathering my personal thoughts opinions on David Seymour’s book and beyond..

ACT Party Leader David Seymour Author of ‘Own Your Own Future’ A Liberal Vision for New Zealand 2017. Published by the ACT Party

Page 30 ‘Smart Growth’ and ‘New Urbanization’ also ‘Urban Containment’, he described these as the most destructive policies of the generations. Saying “We have managed to create an adsorb situation where New Zealand, a country that is 0.8% developed by area , has a shortage of urban land. The most obvious is Auckland Metropolitan Urban Limit. Auckland region is 1.2 million acres and is forecast to have one million more people  in the next 30 years. Even if they lived an  ¼ acre sections with 2.5 people per house it would still only require 10% of the regions land. The so called ‘land shortage’ is as artificial as an invisible line on a map” Seymour wrote.

Reading Seymour’s book I felt the need to further research what he had described as being the most destructive policy of the generations. This ‘Smart Growth’ the ‘New Urbanization and the ‘Urban Containment’. The ‘New Urbanization’ is  described as being ‘critical’ to localize  the Global Agenda 2030 so called Global development Goals (SDGs). Global Agenda 2030 The Decade of Action 2019-2030 Leave No-One Behind, Every-one, Everywhere, At Every Age.  Hence leave no-one behind, here we have the Marxist Political Inclusion (the Belonging). The Diversity Inclusion which is CRT (Critical Race Theory) other examples can be used ‘Climate Alarmism vs Climate Skeptics and Gender Ideology vs Sexual Biology. (All are Oppressed vs Oppression- Victimhood). DEI – Diversity Equity and Inclusion Iniatives have advanced worldwide in Businesses, NGO’s, Corporations, Universities, Schools, Local and Central Government and even in the military. NZ Defense Force won an award at the Hague for being the most Diversity, Inclusive Military in the World.

DEI Diversity Equity Inclusion,  CRT Critical Race Theory, Critical Theory have become deeply embedded into the UN Global Goals. If anyone, group refuses to go along with the narrative, then they become outlawed, cancelled out, humiliated, told they are racist, white supremacist. The older style Marxism has redesigned itself into something that appears to be warm and fuzzy with good intention but just under the surface there is something much darker and sinister. The Posy Parker Event in Auckland was a good example of this where a older woman was severely hurt, trans implemented a mob attack on innocent peoples. Complaining to nearby police officers who saw what was happening, and the attack on me when demanding I want several of them charged they responded “Oh, you must understand they are passionate about what they believe in” I replied “and so are murderers and rapists” One of the police officers wore a rainbow bracelet. They did nothing, they watched on as the mob became more aggressive. That is a great example of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.. Mob Rule Cancel Culture, cancel everyone else out so they have control, rule the nest so to speak.  So for Auckland Council and their Drag Queens in Libraries again Diversity Equity and Inclusion. If you protest, you speak up publicly the police will cancel you out, and you will become target number one. (All part of the Global Agenda the Decade of Action to leave no-one behind hence to critically accelerate the much ‘Smarter City Growth’.

Seymour in his 2017 book mentions ‘Unban Containment’ this promotes the intensity of those pack and stack so called homes in urban/city areas. The reason, allegation they use is that there is a shortage of land, obviously that’s not true from Seymour’s description of land in the Auckland Region. At a UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Development in Ecuador 20th October 2016  they introduced ‘Human Habit 3-Human Settlements’ in Cities across the world. This was endorsed in the UN General Assembly on 23rd December 2026 UN Habitat 3 For Human Settlements Globally. The Urban Containment Policy focuses on public infrastructure investment, land use and development regulations. Limiting the sprawl of the now already new smart city growth. This is the infill of infrastructure that has already been built. The Social political structure of no cars, electric vehicles, e scooters, walking and cycling. Auckland Council 10 year plan more cycleways, more electric buses and central government 10,000 electric car charging stations across New Zealand. (Partnership with BlackRock largest Asset manager in the world influential member of WEF) This includes controlling of peoples lives by sensors to monitor many things and all peoples. Human being becoming lab rats

Smart City Surveillance Systems monitor cities through tragically placed sensors in and around the urban/city landscape, which collect data in regards to different various factors. This is mass surveillance of an ever increasing population in a Urbanized Containment Area. Auckland Council documented their Vision as being the largest smartest living city in the world, (Auckland Council Conversations). A Smart City with Smart Sensors. E Scooters are not so smart and not so safe either:- SpinOff News 8/3/2o24 reported that a substantial number of pedestrians were stressed and are being caused anxieties through E Scooters on pathways. ACC reported that between 2018-2022 there were 10,000 ACC E Scooter Claims  for injuries worth $30 million .

UN have documented that Indigenous People (Coined phrase for Iwi/Hapu/Maori) are at the centre. Mana Whenua partnership, participation, decision making at all levels of Co Governance with Auckland Council. Namely ‘A Vision for Hapu/Iwi Outcomes where Indigenous Peoples have the ability to implement their right and interests. Iwi/Hapu Tribal Groups have Rights to Auckland Region (Auckland Council Conversation). The Iwi/Hapu that co govern Auckland Region with Auckland Council  are made up of 19 Iwi Tribal authorities which are part of the Iwi Authority over the Auckland Region. They must be consulted before Resource Consent is granted.

The coined term ‘Indigenous People’ first arrived in Auckland in 1971 when George Manuel of the Canadian Indian Brotherhood visited NZ and met with Maori politicians. Manuel then went on to the Australian Northern Territories where he met with aboriginal students at a University. Manuel then became the UN President of the World Indigenous Council. He was a key person who helped draft the 2007 UNDRIP. 1990 Moana Jackson had a seat at the UN as to helping to draft the UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous People.

The Global Agenda 2030 (UN) Indigenous Peoples engagement towards the global development goals (SDGs) (UN RES/70/1) mentions Indigenous Peoples six times, Three times in the political declaration and education. (Universal 2030 Education UNESCO and WHO). Indigenous Peoples (UN) refers to Funding opportunities the Decade of Indigenous People and Participation of Indigenous Peoples. DEI an Indigenous Approach to enrich Hapu/Iwi (Auckland Council) Iwi/Hapu knowledge, benefits, opportunities, employment and business. (Critical race Theory, Identity Politics). CRT – Critical Race Theory has helped to spawn totalitarian ideology, Marxism, communism and Nazism and is evident in the era of Mao Zedong. Oppressor vs Oppressed .

No we have the worldwide targeting, attacking of everything that represents westernization, the character assassination of whiteness, as white supremacist, racist this is called Cancel Culture, they want to cancel you out, make you look to blame and to feel the shame. Its happening worldwide even in our children’s schools.  The debunking of the truth where they tell children they can be any thing they want to be, any gender of approx.,  a 100 or more, they can even be a cat or dog if they want. Again this all boils down to this DEI, Critical Theory and a false reality. This has psychological effects on the child and the child’s parents, family causes this Oppressor vs Oppressed (Victimhood)

All the above as I have described is embedded in the Destructive Policy of Smart Growth, Urbanized Containment,  New Urbanization. David Seymour of course steers clear of the Global Agenda, the DEI Diversity Equity  Inclusion  and the CRT and CT Critical Race Theory, and Critical Theory all of which are extremely dangerous, cause huge breakdowns within society, but then again you will not hear any of the other authorities members of Auckland Council or the Mayor, not the new three party coalition talk about all I have described.  But in 2017 Seymour in his book just dipped his little toes into the water as he very quickly mentioned New Zealand most destructive Policy of the generations.

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)

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’
