  1. The amount of ‘hope’ the youth of this country will gain by free education policy is ‘priceless’ – Young people from all.walks of life – now can have a shot at a.future.
    Well done LNZFG.

    Watch at the 7 minute point of this video please. Guyon Espiner AT THE NINE MINUTE POINT becomes very overpowering and aggressive and stopped JACINDA FROM COMPLETING HER POINTS.

    We were very disturbed after listening to this interview this morning with PM Ardern and Guyon Espiner. As the interview progressed he becomes hostile toward Jacinda- very un-acceptable journalism.

    Fire – Guyon Espiner-he showed unacceptable aggressiveness towards our new Prime Minister today.

      • Trade is not the problem. It’s homelessness and inequality of wages. Trading nations are on the outside of New Zealand. Having a market agreement where we can exchange goods and services is good. But we don’t want outsiders telling us what to do. And I’d hate for TDB to slip into the same shit posts ass the standard and kiwi blog.

    • Yes Richard; and will Labour chase the TPPA on tackling this??????

      We are toast, as no there s no political will for us to change our ways now so we are doomed.

      This is what we are now facing.

      PM Jacinda Ardern said “climate change is the nuclear event of her gerneration” so they had better get serious about it now.

      Carbon dioxide levels grew at record pace in 2016, U.N. says

      GENEVA (Reuters) – The amount of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere grew at record rate in 2016 to a level not seen for millions of years, potentially fuelling a 20-metre rise in sea levels and adding 3 degrees to temperatures, the United Nations said on Monday.

      Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main man-made greenhouse gas, hit 403.3 parts per million (ppm), up from 400.0 in 2015, the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said in its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin.
      That growth rate was 50 percent faster than the average over the past decade, driving CO2 levels 45 percent above pre-industrial levels and further outside the range of 180-280 ppm seen in recent cycles of ice ages and warmer periods.
      “Today’s CO2 concentration of ~400 ppm exceeds the natural variability seen over hundreds of thousands of years,” the WMO bulletin said.
      The latest data adds to the urgency of a meeting in Bonn next month, when environment ministers from around the world will work on guidelines for the Paris climate accord backed by 195 countries in 2015.
      The agreement is already under pressure because U.S. President Donald Trump has said he plans to pull the United States out of the deal, which seeks to limit the rise in temperatures to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times.
      Human CO2 emissions from sources such as coal, oil, cement and deforestation reached a record in 2016, and the El Niño weather pattern gave CO2 levels a further boost, the WMO said.
      As far as scientists can tell, the world has never experienced a rise in carbon dioxide like that of recent decades, which has happened 100 times faster than when the world was emerging from the last ice age.
      Scientists know prehistoric levels from tiny air bubbles found in ancient Antarctic ice cores, and they can derive even older data from fossils and chemicals trapped in sediment.
      The last time carbon dioxide levels reached 400 ppm was 3-5 million years ago, in the mid-Pliocene era.
      “During that period, global mean surface temperatures were 2–3°C warmer than today, ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica melted and even parts of East Antarctica’s ice retreated, causing the sea level to rise 10–20 m higher than that today,” the WMO bulletin said.
      Since 1990, the global warming effect of CO2 and other long-lived greenhouse gases has risen by 40 percent. The two other main gases – methane and nitrous oxide – also grew to record concentrations last year, although at a slower rate of increase than carbon dioxide.
