UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE – THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE –    THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

Initially Accusations & Speculations were a reality to the farmers whom were blamed for the  Campylobacter outbreak  in Havelock North in August 2016, An estimated  5,500 people, 15 approx hospital admissions & 3  reported contributed deaths. There were political discussions and the Green Party blamed the Farmers for Intensification of  Farming practices as being the fault of the contamination

Federated Farmers & other Agricultural Representatives strongly rejected the claims pointing out that the area new the specific bore in question  was primarily lifestyle blocks and orchards not Intensive Dair Farming. It was concluded the source of contamination was likely from sheep faeces that flowed into a surface pond & then into an insecure bore

The Govt Inquiry attributed the blame on the Systemic failings by Hawkes Bay Regional Council & the Hastings District Council for their lack of collaboration * inadequate Risk Assessments & the failure to ensure Bore Security & Proper Water Treatment. The initial finger pointing at farmers caused a significant negative effect on the farming communities reputation. NZ First stated the Farmers are owed an apology as it was clarified the actual source was the Councils significant failings.

Farmers had been treated unfairly , were targeted by misleading and alarmist claims by Anti Lobbyists without a shred of evidence. There was finger pointing at agriculture,  yet the closest dairy farms was 40 kilometers away. It was reported that farmers had spent $1 billion fencing rivers over the past decade.

The Havelock August 2016 Incident imposed new restrictions & obligations on farmers as key land users in water catchments. Councils were blamed, criticized for the lack of collaboration * Inadequate Risk Assessment * Failure to implement required Water Safety Plans & Monitoring which was said to contribute to the outbreak occurring. The Havelock North Incidence highlighted tensions around water and land use in NZ, leading to more management & regulations nationwide.

Regional Councils eg Hawkes Bay Regional Council was required to implement stricter rules and planning changes (Like a TANK plan Change) which included the development & implementation of Farm Plans. Introduced more rigorous standards & restrictions, scrutiny and more rigorous national standards. This leading to increased regulations & restrictions on Agricultural practices & policy changes

The prompting of calls for a more Sustainable Less Intensive Farming methods. Including a cap on the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, a measure that directly impacts many farmers. The Havelock North 2016 Incident  although Farmers were not to blame led to broader regulatory shifting, restriction on land use practices especially agriculture right across NZ. (was this just another Crisis opportunity ‘Never let a Good Crisis Go to Waste)that this was in  1 of the bore heads (Same location as the August 2016 incident)

The independent Stu Clark 1998 Report concluded that the 2 Bores were a possible source of campylobacteriosis.. The likely point of entry for  contaminated surface water was a leaking power cable gland. It was recommended that testing the Te Mata Aquifer to establish whether it was confined along with measured to ensure security of both bores.

The Regional Council failed to meet its responsibilities as set out by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to act as Guardian of the Aquifers under the Heretaunga Plains Protection of Water Sources. The District Council did not embrace- implement the high standard of care requires of a public drinking water supplier in light of the 1998 outbreak and the significant history of transgressions. The breaching of Drinking Water Standards

The District Council did not properly manage the maintenance of plant equipment or keep records of that work, carried out little to no supervisions of follow-up work. Did not carry out recommended improvements. There was a lack of collaboration and liaison  between the Regional Council and the District Council. A strained relationship with an absence of regular and meaningful cooperations resulted in missed opportunities that may have prevented the out break

Consultancy firm MWH New Zealand Ltd (“MWH”), a technical adviser to the District Council, failed competently to assess and report on the security of the bore heads of Brookvale Road bores 1 and 2. The Inquiry found that near the Brookvale Rd Bores the Aquifer had been penetrated by a significant number of disused or uncapped bores leaving it vulnerable to entry by contaminated water. That the Brookvale RD Bore 3 was affected by earthworks at the neighboring Te Mata Mushroom property, leaving it vulnerable to contaminated water

The Te Mata Aquifer was not a secure source of drinking water- non compliant to Drinking Water standards. That the Regional and District Councils relationship was dysfunctional. The Regional Council filed a criminal prosecution against the Regional Council 18th November 2016 which led to a delay in the Inquiry.

It was stated that this was ill advised and never should have been launched . It was eventually dropped and replaced with two infringement notices. The Regional Council spent $450,000 investigating the case. This could have been spent on the Aquifers beneath the Heretaunga Plains

It was reported that the risk associated with waterborne diseases in NZ are well recognized. The Drinking Water Guidelines emphazise that ‘Untreated drinking water contaminated with pathogens presents a significant risk to human health. Therefore lessons need to be learned from the Havelock North Incident.

But was has Central Government learned. First they blame the farmers unjustifiably so. Yet 23 years later successive governments have turned deliberately absent minded- where the Local Govt Act 2002 still remains with the same errors as when it was presented to the House. Where Trade Waste Consent Breeches still remain a cause of significant concern. Where Stats  that were present a couple of years ago now  the 2024-2025 Stats for Trade Waste Consent breaches are clearly absent from the publics eye.

UN NATIONS ‘CO-GOVERNANCE’ PLANNED FOR 25 YEARS PRIOR TO 2007

EVERY NEW CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING UNDER THEIR OWN NOSES WHEN IT COMES TO CO GOVERNANCE.

UN ASSEMBLY 13th September 2007 New Zealand under a Labour Government refused to adopt the UN Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples. The Right to ‘Self Determination’. 2010 Pita Sharples Co-leader of the Maori Party with the help and support of John Key attended the UN Assembly in New York, there he adopted the UNDRIP on behalf of all New Zealanders.  Only the public of NZ had no idea it was being adopted all was done deliberately under a veil of secrecy.

He Puapua the pathway to entrenching UNDRIP into every aspect of New Zealand life.  As Julian Batchelor travels the highways and byways of New Zealand he is deliberately being aggressive attacked. The police are reported to stand by and watch as those that attend his co governance meetings are attacked.  Everyone in New Zealand should have at least to facts as to why the UNDRIP was rejected by New Zealand in the first place, and by the way once I give you the following briefing on this perhaps many more people will publicly speak out in opposition of Co-Governance- He Puapua- the plan the entrench the UNDRIP into NZ, dismantle your traditions, beliefs.

New Zealand rejected four provisions in the UNDRIP Articles 26, 28, 32,19. These were incompatible with NZ’s Constitutional and Legal requirements. And the Treaty of Waitangi is the ‘Governing for the Good of ALL NZ Citizens. Indigenous peoples would have veto rights over Natural resources. The right of Veto over the State and its legislations.

Article 26 states declares that Indigenous People have the right to own, use, develop or control lands and territories traditionally owned, occupies or used. NZ rejected this article stating that “adopting this would mean  the entire country of NZ would be caught in this scope of the article. It does not give recognition of lands legally owned by Indigenous and Non -indigenous Peoples, and also it does not take into account tradition, customs nor land tenures

Article 28 of the UN  Declaration addresses ‘Compensation’ (Redress). This also does not consider lands already legally owned by the citizens of New Zealand.  There is no consideration to overlapping Indigenous Claims. ..The entire country of New Zealand would fall within the scope of  Article 28.  .The declaration implied Indigenous peoples had the right to veto over democratic legislature and ‘national resource management.

Veto Rights accorded to Indigenous Peoples implies ‘two classes of citizenship’. Indigenous peoples would have the right to Veto that other people did not have. Rosemary Banks NZ’s Representative to the UN said in her speech “New Zealand is unable to support the UN Declaration. It is incompatible with ‘Democratic’  processes , Legislation, Constitutional arrangements.

The SpinOff reported 6th January 2022 ‘He Puapua: The Indigenous peoples report that caused a political ruckas.. In 2019 a government working group was tasked with creating a plan to realise the UN declaration on the rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP) here in New Zealand. The resulting report, He Puapua, has been described as a roadmap to achieving Vision 2040, the year by which it hopes the report’s objectives are achieved. The year 2040 also marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The reason for all the fuss is the perceived obfuscation of the report – despite being received by then minister for Māori Development, Nanaia Mahuta, in 2019, it hasn’t been released by cabinet and is only circulating now after it was released under OIA last month. Since then, National Party leader Judith Collins has used it to stoke fears over separatism, claiming it will create “two systems by stealth”.

He Puapua is a term that refers to the break between waves, evoking a disruption to our political and legislative norms. It’s also the name of the report from the working group that looked at how Aotearoa should implement the UN declaration..

Please Support Julian Batchelors Co-Governance Tour.

WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND THE UN CHARTER 1945 ‘ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION’ OTHER INTERNATIONATIONAL LAWS ALSO DECLARE THAT ALL PEOPLES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION.    YOU SHOULD BE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS  ABOUT THE RADICAL RACIAL SEPERATISM BEING ACTED OUT UNDER YOUR OWN NOSES..

HANDS OF OUR CHILDREN NOW

New Zealand perverted sexualization of children. The NZ Herlad titles this article ‘Controversial book: ‘Welcome to Sex

‘ a ‘fabulous Resource says sexuality educator” 31st July 2023

This is what the NZ Herald reports:- Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure and figuring it out by Dr Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes is being stocked in libraries around New Zealand.. A controversial book about sex aimed at children is a “fabulous” resource and answers the questions kids are asking, a relationship and sexuality educator says. The book, Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure and figuring it out, by former Dolly Doctor and youth health expert Dr Melissa Kang and TV personality Yumi Stynes, is making waves after a library user complained on social media about its inclusion on the shelves… The book, targeted at 11- to 14-year-olds, traverses everything from consent and sexuality to sexual positions.

And although this is  a disgusting  book Tracy Clelland  a lecturer at Canterbury University said “ most parents actually want this book to help educate their children”. And refers to children as young as 9 years old asking about sex toys and anal sex.

Seriously people lets get a grip on this. We really do need to ‘drain the swamp’.  This book doesn’t border on grooming. It is the sexually grooming of our children.  So what do the public libraries have to say, here is one response “The Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa (Lianza) said it was important for libraries to have an inclusive collections”. Comment from LIANZ) “In situations such as in the case of Welcome to Sex, there may be disagreements over the content. However, libraries don’t make individual decisions for their readers about what is appropriate,

A Hutt City Council spokeswoman said it took all feedback about books in the libraries’ collections seriously and had reassessed Welcome to Sex.

“We support the view of the libraries’ professional body, Lianza, on this book and we will continue to have it in our collections.” The book is also in libraries across the country, including in Auckland, Christchurch and Tauranga.

So, what does Auckland Council head of Library and Learning Services – Catherine Leonard have to say on this  childhood sexuality  grooming book “Our role is not to censor: and “Auckland Libraries are like all other public libraries in NZ, committed to freedom of access to information, we will not supress or remove material simply because it offends people. Can’t help thinking this “What an Ignorant  evil bxtch”, yep though it but dare not say it in public “You know, freedom of speech and all that stuff”   Come-On People who are going to protect our children if we as adults are not prepared to front up and loudly speak up?  HANDS OF OUR CHILDRFEN NOW…

BURP.. BURP…BURP…TARGETING THE COWS ON THE FARM WITH BULLSHITE AND DECEITFUL LIES

Bill Gates another of those famous Elit e investors of ‘ the WEF/UN Corporate Stakeholder Capitalism’. puppeteers , have jumped on the gravy train of methane emissions (cow burps)

Bill Gates and his  ‘Breakthrough Energy Ventures has invested in Perth based Rummin8 that produces a  synthetically produced additive to feed cows to cut down on the burp..burp..burp.. bugger far too many burps.Breakthrough Energy Ventures was founded in 2015 by Bill Gates, same year as UN Agenda 2030 was introduced globally, always fully promoted and supported by the wealthy global elite that gather at annual DAVOS meetings. Breakthrough Energy Ventures is backed by Amazon, Alibaba, Jeff Bezos

It was reported that over a 100 year period methane is 28  to 34 times as warming as CO2.

But and there is always a but, what are they not telling you whilst they are busy targeting the farmers and his cows on the farm?  Well Christopher Luxon has not said he would completely take targeting the farmer with  methane emissions out of the picture, just a pause until 2030.  Lets take a leap back to 2011 to British Climate Researcher Dr, Wilson Flood, he wrote an article for the Academic Journal ‘Energy & Environment to counter the growing hysteria around methane. He publicly put the record straight about the misconceptions that methane is a dangerous greenhouse gas. He explained “the quantity of methane in the air is so small that even doubling it would not produce any appreciable warming, but that the rate of the increase of the gas in the atmosphere is so slow it would take 360 years to double” He added “Since the warming ability of methane is only 7 times that of carbon dioxide, livestock presents “no conceivable threat of any kind”, and cows and sheep “cannot contribute to global warming in any conceivable way”. He concluded that “research into altering the diet of farm animals to reduce dietary methane is hugely wasteful of resources.”.

It doesn’t end there. Barry Brill the president of the NZ Climate Science Coalition and a former  Government Minister also has a gave a comprehensive review  on methane as he referred to the UN IPCC saying that they now admits that “methane is 7 times (not 28) more effective at being a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide” – with their Sixth Assessment Report stating at page 1016 of Chapter 7, “…expressing methane emissions as CO2 equivalent of 28, overstates the effect on global surface temperature by a factor of 3-4.” Barry Brill went on to say  “No doubt this took the legs out from under Minister Shaw. He had been personally briefed on the flaws in 2019, but in a later answer to a Parliamentary Question said he was not a climate scientist himself and would be guided by the IPCC. That hasn’t happened yet.”

Barry Brill believes this revelation that the warming ability of methane is only 7 times that of carbon dioxide, instead of 28, “changes everything. All the scenarios and budgets are now clearly wrong… If methane will cause only 25 percent as much warming as previously expected, then we won’t need those huge reductions, that appear in the now-outdated scenarios. With this new understanding, the 1.5°C aspirational goal comes back within our collective grasp – and with much less pain and anxiety than used to be expected. It’s wonderful news, and a win-win all around. Let’s celebrate!”

The Political cronies in the toilet bowl of Wellington still are insistently, persistently attacking the farmers and the cows down on the farm.. The NZ Government announced in 2022 NZ farmers will be the first in the world to be targeted with the methane emissions levy., hence ripping the guts out of rural small towns in New Zealand. . The billion tree’s in NZ scenario would take the place of honour. Hey people ‘Wake Up New Zealand’ “Your can’t eat dam tree’s”.   Corporate Capitalism is certainly being promoted by most MPs in Parliament.   I haven’t started on Blackrock or Vanguard as yet.  But the crazies Hipkins and Megan Wood praising BlackRock and the 2 Billion investment in the ‘Climate cow shite in NZ”.   A few wake up calls in my next blog.  People remember you are the target number 1. “You can’t eat tree’s” and if you think ‘Corporate capture will save your arse I suggest you join the insane ‘woke brigade’

IWI RIGHTS AND INTERESTS ‘UN AGENDA 2030’ GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT GOALS

BRIEFING NOTE ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS AND 2030’    SEPTEMBER 2017

Indigenous key priorities and specific references in UN Agenda 2030. The SDGs explicitly include indigenous peoples. Two of the SDG targets make specific references to indigenous peoples, committing to double agricultural output of indigenous small-scale farmers and to ensure equal access to education for indigenous children.

There is also a strong commitment in the 2030 Agenda to empower and engage indigenous peoples in implementing and reviewing progress in achieving the goals. In addition, the proposed global list of indicators5 to measure progress on the SDGs includes several indicators that indigenous peoples had called for, including indicators that measure income of indigenous small-scale food producers and indigenous peoples’ access to education.

The proposed indicator to measure secure land rights makes an important reference to “type of tenure” which can capture the dimension of collective land rights which is central to indigenous peoples’ collective relationship to their lands, territories and resources.

Of particular relevance is also the indicator on peoples’ perception of discrimination based on prohibited grounds of discrimination in international human rights law, which could be used to trace progress on indigenous peoples’ experiences of discrimination.

The global indicator list constitutes a practical starting point, while Member States have expressed a need for further methodological development and improvement of data availability, which at a global level will be taken forward by the Inter-Agency Expert Group on SDG 6 .

Further, national statistical offices will now be developing national indicator frameworks, where it is essential to advocate for inclusion of the relevant global indicators as well as call for additional indicators of relevance to indigenous peoples in the local context.

Where to find the references to indigenous peoples in the 2030 Agenda resolution (A/RES/70/1) • Empowerment, engagement and education of indigenous peoples (Preamble: paragraphs 23, 25 and 52) • Ending hunger through sustainable agriculture (SDG2 , target 2.3) • Ensuring access to education for indigenous peoples (SDG4, target 4.5) • Indigenous peoples’ participation in follow-up and review

Disaggregation of data: To ensure that no one is left behind, the 2030 Agenda calls for States “to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts” (target 17.18).  Data-disaggregation according to indigenous or ethnic identity across all sustainable development goals must also be included to monitor progress for indigenous peoples. A critical priority at national level is therefore to ensure that data disaggregation includes “indigenous identifiers” (for instance language or self-identification in official statistics to capture the inequalities indigenous peoples face across all the sustainable development goals. Furthermore, the adoption of a human rights-based approach to data is essential, including respecting self-identification.

Land rights, poverty and hunger The sustainable development goals could contribute to securing indigenous peoples’ control over their land, territories and resources. The SDG targets, for instance, recognise the importance of equal rights to economic resources as well as equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources and traditional knowledge. In addition, the 2030 Agenda’s emphasis on promotion of resilient and sustainable agricultural practices and maintenance of seed diversity are consistent with efforts to promote for food security and poverty eradication amongst indigenous peoples. Yet, land is not merely an economic asset for indigenous peoples. It is defining element for their identity, culture and their relationship to their ancestors and future generations.  There is a need for recognition of indigenous land tenure systems as well as of the situation of indigenous nomadic and semi-nomadic communities. To secure indigenous peoples’ land rights.

It is essential that the 2030 Agenda implementation is taking in to account the principle of free, prior and informed consent and adequate consultations related to indigenous peoples’ lands and development priorities, as referred to in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Find the relevant targets: • Equal rights to economic resources (SDG1, target 1.4) • Promotion of resilient and sustainable agricultural practices (SDG2, target 2.3 and 2.4) • Maintenance of seed diversity (SDG2, target 2.5) • Equitable sharing of benefits from traditional knowledge (SDG2, target 2.5) Social Security, health and education
