$12.8 Billion Hard-Earned Tax Money That Could Be Used to Rebuild Gone - The Arrogance of our Politicians.

 For me, this is the story that broke the proverbial camel's back, quote:

The Government raised New Zealand's 2030 Paris Agreement carbon-slashing target and reaching that target would require paying other countries to slash emissions on New Zealand's behalf.

Treasury estimates this will cost $12.8 billion by the end of the decade.

The Indian Government this week issued an emergency ruling that all their coal fired power stations work at maximum capacity to meet consumption demand. China continues to open two coal fired power stations every week. This $12.8 billion of our tax money to be sent overseas to make our egomaniacal  politicians look virtuous will change NOTHING regards the climate, even if you believe the bunk about CO2. We all know that: on their own terms for their shonky science they know that. Minister David Parker and that conman James Shaw may as well burn this huge amount of money and sacrifice a virgin on the pyre akin to their near religious belief in climate alarmism. But the crime is that money - OUR TAX MONEY, NOT THEIR MONEY - could change so many tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Kiwi lives. I live in the Marlborough Sounds with ruined roads - ours unlikely to make it through this winter in my opinion - since storms 20 months and then 8 months ago. Since the August 2022 storm Marlborough District Council, supposedly run out of my rates money, is overruled by NZTA which has set us on an over year long consultancy with firm Stantec NZ Ltd to have to make an inappropriate 'business use case' for access to our homes (140 houses just on my Moetapu Bay Road). The underlying assumption is some of our roads here won't be rebuilt and can go to water access only, but the trouble is some, if not many of the houses on my road were built only for public road access over the last four or more decades and don't have water access without a road. My wife and I can't live in 566 Moetapu Bay Road without public road access. Stantec held meetings asking us to tell them 'why our roads were important' for f*** sake: because we can't get to our homes otherwise would have seemed pretty obvious to me, albeit I just sat stunned at the incompetence of it all. Stantec have further run a major survey - at God only knows what expense to be paid from OUR MONEY - with Sounds road users towards making 'our' business use case to access our own homes; that survey never even asked if the house filling out the survey had access, legal or otherwise, to the water without the road. Yet it is thought we only need $400 million, that's all, to fix all Marlborough's ruined roads, just a fraction of this $12.8 billion dollars our politicians are cynically destroying before our eyes for what they know is mere symbolism. OUR MONEY taken by the tax system that should be used to our advantage given away to a pointless cause overseas that exists only as religious ritual ... how morally repugnant. I feel like this government, and the supposed opposition, Wellington, hates Kiwis. 

We need a revolution in New Zealand, but until then, I simply will put up my Twitter thread on this fiasco (apologies for the lousy formatting). I also urge you to watch the Youtube interview with Ian Wishart at the end of this piece to understand how government is re-writing even our climate history to enforce their alarmist agenda at our expense (literally).

 

 

 

 

 

 And as those of us prudently unvaccinated for Covid know, don't ever underestimate the willingness of Power to re-write our history and the Truth where it suits them. 

In a country with a professional fourth estate, a journalist would be following up Ian Wishart's claims below: Cyclone Gabrielle was not the biggest such weather event in the Esk Valley and Hawkes Bay, there may well have been bigger cyclones in the late 1800's and after the huge cyclone there in 1938 - none of these due to CO2 presumably - it was widely commented on at the time the Esk Valley should not be rebuilt with human habitation, however, the silt becomes fertile farm land, our memory erases the past as more ominously NIWA appears to have erased the official climate history of New Zealand to promote, dishonestly, their climate alarmist narrative, and people move back as happened. The real record would show this area had, over 200 years ago, when it was pre-industrial, colder, with less CO2, far more extreme weather than  now.

 

 

As much as I hate promoting Sean Plunket given his ignorant attitude to those who chose not to have the Covid MrNA's, this interview with Ian Wishart is important on how much is missing from the NIWA database, and thus how distorted the current climate alarmism narrative around the recent cyclone in in the mainstream media is:
