When Shane Jones isn’t vilifying Migrant MPs and Trolling Environmentalists, Dr Pork is pimping for big polluter interests
Protesters cause disruption before Shane Jones’ mining plan announcement
Protesters attempted to disrupt the announcement of the government’s minerals strategy this morning.
Resources Minister Shane Jones’ speech was delayed by 15 minutes, after demonstrators, including current and former Green MPs, stood in the way of a bus. The minister was not on the bus.
Jones said the days of “woke-riddled intimidation” of the mining sector are over – specifically criticising banks that refuse to work with fossil fuel companies.
Jones released the mining strategy, including a list of minerals the government believed were critical to New Zealand.
Gold and metallurgical coal have been added to the Critical Minerals List, which now covers a total of 37 minerals after a consultation period that started in September.
Unbelievable, Shane Jones calls for a mature debate on fast tracking the worst mining practices after shitting on the environmental movement for 12 months???
How about you go fuck yourself champ?
When Shane Jones isn’t vilifying Migrant MPs and starting diplomatic issues with Mexico, Dr Pork is pimping for big oil…
Jones’ speech was also highly critical of banks that refused to work with fossil fuel companies.
“This malevolence flows from cult like accords fostered within the UN where banks and their sustainability units foolishly believe they can change the weather.
“New Zealand banks should abandon such agreements as the Net Zero Banking Alliance.
“These instruments are alien and represent a foreign threat to regional development,” he said.
Jones revealed New Zealand First would introduce a bill that would give regulators power to remove a bank’s operating license if it refused to do business with mineral firms.
…this is egregious pimping for polluters.
Banks have made the decision themselves to pull out of fossil fuels…
BNZ tells coal mine it will shut bank accounts by 2030
…so these Banks are making these decisions as the planet burns to stop providing service to an industry that can no longer be part of the solution because they are the problem and Shane’s response to Capitalism making this decision on their own is to force them to take polluter profits and threaten them with their bank license if they don’t?
HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL ALLOWING HIM TO DO THIS SHIT?
Where the Christ does he get off threatening Banks if they don’t take polluter cash?
He trolls the environmental movement, threatens banks, fast tracks powers to build more mining where we will get a pittance, puts Gold and Coal back on the agenda and then demands a mature debate about mining?
He is a man suit of bribed brain farts masquerading as a politician.
How he is betraying the common good for his donors interests should sicken you all.
If you voted for this, it’s on you.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
He was so much better when he used our money for porn.
Now he believes he’s Trump.
There is nothing “honourable” about this corpulent corrupt douche bag of an individual
Whose responsibility was it to start the debate? Sooner or later the screeching has to end. This is real life, not the schoolyard. “If you screeched absolutes and pissed away your opportunity to talk then this is on you.” Works both ways. Banks can’t suddenly grow an environmental conscience and expect to be taken seriously after having no social conscience since forever. Jones is right in that respect. Banks do have rules they have to follow. He often talks like a drunk who’s forgotten his bus ticket, but underneath it, he can get it right. The whole arrangement is corrupted and the only way out is to put down the megaphone and talk. More chance of talking to Jones than there is anyone in ACT or National.
we all know who was the bully and who was the smart one, in the Uncle Tom and Jerry show.
