DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Labour Party Hypocrisy

Well, here we go again. More Labour Party hypocrisy.

Just as Labour MP Rachel Boyack has cried crocodile tears over National not building the promised new Nelson hospital when Labour had promised (showing both how little a Labour promise is worth and the hypocrisy of their tears) to get the hospital started before their term ended we now have Deputy Prime Minister Seymour calling for the Air New Zealand shares owned by the government to be sold.

Now that is to be expected given Seymour’s party policies but what is astounding is Labour’s finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds comments in response.

She tells us Air New Zealand is critical national infrastructure and the Government should not be selling its shares.

Very good, but wait. Labour has clearly (and conveniently) ‘forgotten’ which party privatised Air New Zealand.

In 1989, the Labour Government sold Air New Zealand into private ownership. The sale transferred the airline from being a fully state owned national carrier to a privately owned company. The sale was part of a broader wave of Labour privatisations, also including:
• Telecom (1990)
• New Zealand Steel (1987)
• PostBank (1988)

Labour may well have built state houses for working people (not just beneficiaries like Ardern’s government) in the 1930’s but what have they done since? Very, very little other than to ride on that one good thing ever since and, as we are seeing again and again approaching this election, spent most of their time practicing their hypocrisy. Remember the Kiwibuild promise?

If you want truth in politics beware Labour.
