ACT Party Farmer Thug goes rogue and Trans National Mining interest believes in magic
ACT Party Thug Farmer tells Councils to ignore the law and then is forced to retract it because he’s a stupid redneck thug…
Andrew Hoggard walks back SNA announcement experts say is unlawful
An associate government minister has walked back advice to councils that they can ignore a set of rules protecting the environment.
Legal experts have said the government is breaking legal precedent, and asking councils to break the law too, by suspending the requirements.
Associate Environment Minister Andrew Hoggard announced on Thursday the government was suspending rules around Significant Natural Areas, known as SNAs, for three years while it replaces the Resource Management Act.
The statement said: “For now, the government has agreed to suspend the obligation for councils to impose SNAs under the NPS Indigenous Biodiversity, and we’re sending a clear message that it would be unwise to bother”.
On Friday, he released a statement saying his comment had been misunderstood:
There was no misunderstanding you dumb redneck Farmer Thug, you told Councils to ignore the law and you got caught out and you are desperately trying to back peddle.
Meanwhile, the Trans National Mining interests believe in magic…
Seabed miner Trans-Tasman Resources say imagined ‘crystal ball’ system will avoid pollution
All sounded rosy until Slyfield delivered the bombshell.
“Now the point about the OSPM is that it doesn’t exist yet — it hasn’t been developed.”
…Farmer Thugs and Mining Interests that believe in magic.
This is what NZ is becoming under this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government, a country of Thug Farmers and Magical Mining Companies with leaders like this…
…God Defend NZ, because the voters sure as Christ didn’t!

another arrogant arsehole ,this government is full of them .The righty tighties are hell bent on sending NZ to the wall .
How does he keep his job? Openly encouraging breaking the law, as an MP, should mean dismissal. Are we going to get some bullshit about having a mandate?
Because he is a typical right winger who believes he above the law and that the law only applies to the poor or supporters or other parties
The election was heavily influenced by newer NZders who don’t know the history of right leaning parties in NZ. They heard what they wanted to hear and decided it was better than what they were used to and Labour was upsetting them, so go right.
Now, of course, they find things haven’t worked out so well despite what they were promised for their votes.
In fact it’s 100% worse than what they expected.
We sure did laugh at the weirdos being elected in other countries and now it’s been done here.
If you voted for any of those crazy right leaning parties and the scum they drag in to be MPs, you have a lot to answer for.
they got what they voted for ,the right to carry on selling tobaco and alcohol ,licenced drug dealers really .Then there are the 50k vape shops dispensing poison as well
They wanted protections for selling their rubbish and haven’t got far with that.
They wanted price drops to make themselves less of a target.
Still complaining.
Yes, this particular fat reactionary bastard who likely stuffs his face with stacks of meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is one to watch alright.
There are farmers that are trying to do the right thing with reestablishing wetlands, native plantings, fencing waterways, better treatment of animals–but this fuck is belligerently not one of them!
He was the farmers worst enemy when president of fed farmers hence the rise of ground swell .The man is fucken useless
Which is perhaps why he made the switch to politics, before he was completely exposed for what he was.
Probably a familiar scenario round Parliament.
When it comes to NActionals way of actual Governing AoNz, Hoggard said the quiet part out loud ,,,,, or more fittingly given his surname, he squealed like the pig he is and his squealing got noticed.
Before they get around to scrapping regulations ( or in Atlas speak, ‘cutting red tape’) the Nactional Governments have a long history of ignoring/allowing the breaking and flouting of regulations …
ie ,,,,1) the (illegal ) export of swamp Kauri, where 80% was found to be non-compliant with regulations ,,, “Documents obtained under the Official Information Act by the NEPS are claimed to show that in fact, mandatory information was missing from some 80 per cent of MPI intention-to-export notices processed in 2013.” https://publicaddress.net/envirologue/swamp-monsters-the-looting-of-northlands/
ie 2) Pike River ,,,, where the mine was allowed to operate despite not completing/complying with safety regulations and consents
ie 3) Uber being allowed to set up and operate while ignoring/flouting Land Transport passenger service regulations
ie 4) The overseas investment office ignoring the corruption associated with Malaysian forestry companies and allowing them to invest/launder their stolen money here https://www.sarawakreport.org/2014/06/the-sarawak-timber-mafias-global-menace/
etc etc etc
Hoggard squealed the quiet part like a dumb pig ,,, if he’d shut his yap it would be (corrupt) business as usual ….. its how NActFirst operate.
Why are NZ Fishery Companies not protesting loudly ? Are they worried that Shameless Shane won’t back them too ?
26 years after a German led seabed stripping mining experiment, scientists revisiting the DISCOL site found the damage to complex ocean food webs still there.

Sadly , around seabed mining there are no ‘ regulations ‘ set internationally, And a bonus for mining companies is the lack of scientific studies about the long term impact of seabed mining.
The practice is ‘ sell a story ‘ to a naive, desperate for money and power hungry NACTZI , snow job the public, mine away for decades and walk away !

And further , is Shane Jones’s wet dream economics even true ?
” Some opponents of deep-sea mining now argue that it wouldn’t just be ecologically catastrophic, a testament to how no part of Earth’s surface will be left unscarred by industrial appetites. They say it’s a bad investment, too.”
” Deep-sea ecosystems could be destroyed for metals that will only be needed for a few more years.”

Looks like he’s shovelled one too many pizzles down the gullet and has entered a state of extended torpor.
You have to wonder how many cockies signed up for ACT (more guns and no environmental laws) due to this 4 horned redneck goon.
These people wreak havoc on farming more than they add to it, as they destroy the social licence to farm, destroy the environment in return for bottom of the barrel commodities, destroy export markets, and all in order to line the silk pockets of the Parnell farming fraternity.
It bothers me that dullards like this get into parliament and unbelievably they actually become ministers.
How is it that with a population o 330million the best the US can do for a president is a choice between Biden and Trump.( and I’m a Biden fan) but surely with our population of 5 million we can come up with some right wing candidates with at least a modicum of intelligence and dare I say it a smigeon of integrity.
He is one of these men whose brains have put on weight and slipped down to their neck. Looks like a bull, and possibly thinks like one too.
Not a good appearance if wanting to promote anything as being for the public good. Not first choice for his Political Party or for any farmer group, one would think but perhaps there was no choice
Dullards, really. Eh!, who all them, my swear is truth,, and only a bit lie, truth.
