Look, Shaw has been an incremental disaster when it comes to the climate crisis, but why all the focus on him and not Marama Davidson?
Last night on TVNZ 6pm News, the facts were very fucking clear.
At the end of 2017, of those who asked for help, 108 said they lived in cars. However, last month saw 480 people living in their vehicles.
Who is the Minister for Homelessness?
Marama Davidson.
Marama claims the only reason it is so much worse now is because they do a better job at counting the homeless.
If the Minister could put as much effort into housing the homeless as she does counting them, we’d have this whole poverty issue solved!
It isn’t just Shaw who has been hopeless, Marama shares that ineptitude.
It is outrageous that so many are still living in hopelessness while a Green Minister is in charge.

Eugenie Sage signing off all foreign land purchases in the last government ? Marama Davidson as minister of homelesness ? The Greens shouldn,t be accepting these shit jobs from a so called kindness but really neoliberal government.
They accept these positions to tick a box, increase their pay and accumulate enough service to be eligible for the MPs pension. Then they bugger off, so as to make vacancies for the next worthless sociopath.
Andrew. Correction. “ Enriched sociopath.”
Again,you can’t apply performance logic to the party that doesn’t operate that way.
Shaw is both male and non Maori (as far as I can tell), Davidson is a member of both the non male and Maori identity inherent virtue groups (as far as I can tell) which means she is not touchable.
Performance is not an identity metric.
I wish I was joking but our entire government apparatus is now clogged with people appointed for diversity over ability- look at roads, Oranga Tamariki, any department and see the destruction of moving away from appointing on merit.
The Greens personify the stupidity of identity Uber alles.
Jesus KCCO, your white, racist non-logical bow is even longer than savnz’s
“I wish I was joking but our entire government apparatus is now clogged with people appointed for diversity over ability- look at roads, Oranga Tamariki, any department and see the destruction of moving away from appointing on merit

You certainly tick all the terrorist, right(wing) boxes KCCO
Angry tick; White tick; Male tick; Entitled tick; thick tick.
Terrorist, potential overthrower of the elected govt tick, tick tick tick
So, KCCO, you gonna join Brian Tamaki this weekend on his “Freedumb and Rights Marches” to piss people off on the motorways? Be sure to wave your “Keepcalmcarryon Poster”
Most of these quisling middle-of-the-road right-whingers here on TDB, will be rooting for you, except me.
It is true we expected A LOT more from Shaw in terms of climate change and the environment, but Marama has somehow got rid of all the cheaper blue collar landlords, driven up property prices and now there is corporate rental city, at eye watering prices, who are charging $1200 a week for housing the poor, in motel rooms. Poverty is increasing the more they pander to the drugs brigade.
613kg of Meth just came into NZ in this case they were caught – https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/462595/largest-ever-meth-bust-in-nz-police-customs-seize-613kg-of-the-drug – while they increase poverty and hook people on drugs, and enable that process by turning a blind eye to criminal activity and money laundering, poverty and mental health issues, will dramatically increase.
Some anti social and appalling people are literally enabled with more and more money and resources showered on them by other taxpayers to be utter shits. Pity the kids, if they are growing up with this.
“A young Bay of Plenty family fears they’ll never be able to escape their neighbours from hell after prospective buyers were put off by their antisocial behaviour.
They are speaking out about the distress caused by the neighbour’s behaviour over the past couple of years and are calling for the state landlord to take action.
The family has twice been burgled and believe the culprit to be one of the Kāinga Ora tenants next door. The family says the neighbours have also been responsible for aggression, loud parties and used tampons and undies being thrown onto their property.”

“It’s understood police have been called to the property at least 50 times to respond to reports of domestic violence, street brawls and other alleged crime.”

NZ is becoming a hell hole of terrible behaviour, while the government agencies don’t worry in their new premises and keep hiring new staff!
“Despite thousands of state homes not meeting healthy homes standards, Newshub can reveal Kāinga Ora’s spent millions doing up its own offices.”

That’s a long bow to draw savenz?
The Greens are responsible for math imports
“It is true we expected A LOT more from Shaw in terms of climate change and the environment, but Marama has somehow got rid of all the cheaper blue collar landlords, driven up property prices and now there is corporate rental city, at eye watering prices, who are charging $1200 a week for housing the poor, in motel rooms.

What the fuck are you smoking or injecting savenz? So, your argument is James Shaw’s has done nothing for climate change and Marama has single-handedly caused poverty and the drugs brigade?
Check yourself in somewhere savenz, you are NOT well. It may have been an August 1, 2022 at 9:54 am morning psychosis, or a brain-bleed caused by severe constipation affecting a stenosis you may have. Get it checked out buddy, you are not well, especially so early in the morning
We are talking about .01% of the population.
Instead of moaning and finger pointing maybe some of you could come up with a solution…Its much easier to moan.
ds. “ Come up with a solution? “. That is what our Parliamentarians are supposed to be doing, and are quite well paid for what they are supposed to do. They even have a plethora of public servants and advisors paid to provide solutions. And now you suggest that we need to be doing their jobs for them, and indeed, many a true word is spoken in jest.
Yes good point!
The government owns land some of which was recently flogged off to private developers in Dorkland.
Now isn’t this exactly where they could – the government that is – built some housing for those at the bottom, after all there are a mere 26,000 on the state house waiting list.
Bob doesn’t do solution, that would require intelligence, easier to keep barking at parked cars. Forgive him though he can’t help it.
I’ve been listening to some of Don McLean’s great songs.
I reckon this is a sad ode of love betrayed to the Greens.
“Winterwood”
No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I’m right
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground
And for the first time I’ve been seeing
The things I’d never noticed without you
And for the first time I’m discovering
The things I used to treasure about you
The birds like leaves on Winterwood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They’ve learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with Nature’s ways
You are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
Are like the birds on Winterwood
And for the first time I’ve been seeing
The things I’d never noticed without you
And for the first time I’m discovering
The things I used to treasure about you

As a former Green Party voter and supporter, I find now they have become ridiculously “woke” (for want of a better word) in their stupid attempt to balance race, sex and gender in the Parliamentary team. This leadership issue more than anything else highlights this point. So with these facts in mind combined with the absurdity of Green policies, Marama Davidson stays because she is of the “correct” race and sex, while on the other hand James Shaw, because of his race and sex, does not fit the bill anymore! The Greens also have a policy that a male does not need to to be elected co leader, but one of the leaders must be a Maori and/or female! FFS!
About time the Greens got over their preposterous attempts to balance leaders, MPs and everything else in the party and realise this type of balancing act in my opinion is not acceptable. Elect MPs and leaders on their capable worth, ability and efficiency to fill the roles and nothing else.
The job of politicians is to come up with solutions. Davidson can’t. I’ve looked on here for people to head her in the right direction The obvious directions Davidson can’t see.
What I did see was in the Herald:
“It started as a small-scale solution to provide shelter for homeless who had nowhere else to go.
But emergency housing is now big business, and some motel and motor lodge owners have completely changed their business models to specialise in housing the most vulnerable people in society.
One motel alone has been given $16 million in grants for emergency accommodation, data obtained by the Herald shows.”
What I did see in Canterbury and all reaches of Auckland recently was rows and rows, streets and
streets of new houses recently built or being built.
We have shat all over the floor and the toilet bowl with the society we have created. We want Davidson to clean it up for us. She is incapable? Who will be the next to put their hand up for the job and we’ll give it to them? Whoop-de-do, let’s give it to David Seymour. I mean he and his sort are the ones who fed the diet which led to the diarrhoea and the first place aren’t they? So let’s try him. For more of the same.
