MEDIAWATCH: Q+A Review – Minister for the NZ Environment defends plastic industry?????????
What?
What did I just watch?
What?
The Minister for the Environment, caught appallingly flatfooted as Jack demolished her stance on 1 use plastics, started defending the plastics industry, as if she was their fucking spokesperson and not, you know, the Minister for the Environment!
Penny Simmonds defending the plastics industry after getting busted being a puppet for the their interests, is at least an honest response I suppose.
But a Minister for the Environment defending plastic is a bit like the Minister of Health championing cancer.
You don’t expect it.
Incredible interview with Welby Ings, a NZ teacher with a very holistic view of public education that was riveting, intellectual, smart and only found on public TV!
This is the sort of inspiring interview that only TVNZ has the luxury of producing, it was smart, passionate and paradigm shifting.
I am going out this week to buy his book!
Wow. Well done Jack and Q+A – that was a one in a. hundred interview!
Dr Incremental, Max Rashbrooke (the only thing rash is in his name) is on pointing out high Unemployment is scarring to the economy.
Maybe I’m being mean spirited in carrying. grudge, but the good Dr’s last dose of medicine was the incrementalism of Labour, so if he’s suggesting something meaningful that will make immediate material benefit to people, I’m all ears…..
….nope. Ok.
I appreciate he’s a guru to glaciers, but the Left have to do something fundamental and the incrementalism of Labour was heart breaking last time.
Amazing Q+A, this is public broadcasting at its best.
Penny Simmonds slap at Jacks arithmetic skills was a hilariously surprising reminder of what a baller she is, especially after Jack just pissed over her whole point of existence.
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.
Penny who?
Penny “Frick’n” Simmonds…yet another waste of space from the Coalition of Chaos.
Apparently, according to her, the jury is still out as to what caused excessive nitrate levels to pollute and exceed safety levels of Gore drinking water recently…..despite every other case around the country where the cause has been cows pissing and shitting onto ground where fissures run deep into the aquafers….
Yet another lying minister on the crown clipping the taxpayer ticket. …You could tell by her foot movement that she was lying.
And what with the protecting of Fonterra allowing them to sell yogurt in plastic containers still….apparently Fonterra a can’t, or can’t be arsed, to come up with an alternative…. so they get to keep on polluting.
Well France have plenty of alternatives when selling their yoghurts and none of them involve plastic…you can buy them in either a small hard cardboard pottle or a small glass pottle….both are recyclable …. Why isn’t Simmonds pointing this out to Fonterra and reading them the riot act??…Like …swap to these containers or we are taking your product off the shelves! ..By order- Environment Minister.
Hate is love
War is peace
Lies are truth
Plastic is good for environments.
Science is wrong
Cats are dogs.
Three plus three equal seven
Black is white
Lots of people having no money is good.
A few people having much more money than they need is good.
(Sort of Orwellian),
Luxon has these notes on hand just in case he is asked a question
Minister for the Environment: “Yay, plastics!”
The Planet: “Fuck you, Penny Simmonds!”
I love how humanity knows exactly what’s turning the planet to shit and what they need to do to stop it, but gleefully continues with all of the stuff that turns the planet to shit anyway. Collectively, we’re like a man standing outside his burning house, firmly declaring “What this raging house-fire needs is more fire!”
That extinction event inexorably creeping over the horizon? Yeah, we’ve earned that.
Is she the same minister that is closing the poly techs as fast as she can so Willis can get her hands on the funds already set aside for these places of education .These are the same institutions that Luxon wants to use to educate the 100000 Indians under his trade agreement .
