Getting rid of regional councils is absolutely about selling off the country bit by bit.
Here's the Minister for Regulatory Capture, giving the game away.
What a great week for New Zealand in the international stage!
Two awards recognising the hard work our government does to make everyone's lives worse, dirtier and more expensive.
First, awarded Fossil of the Day in Brazil #COP30 for our shameful back track on methane emissions.
Followed immediately by the Dirty Ashtray award for letting Big Tobacco dictate the country's health policy.
Well done! Truly being world leaders and setting an example on regulatory capture, corruption and science denial.

The government might say that they're not climate deniers, but their actions are indistinguishable from outright climate change denial.

Yesterday: "We're ditching our methane targets. Climate change is not our problem to solve. This is how we help our farmers."
Today:
😑
And science tells us that this is the result of *historic* emissions.
What the climate deniers in charge are doing is guarantee that it will get much worse from here.
This is what we will soon remember as "not as bad as we have it now".
How bad will it get?
Well, how long will we let them call the shots?
If a bus driver or a pilot was off his head drunk and crashed his vehicle, putting his passengers in danger, it would be very weird for the passengers to say, "Well, he's been chosen to drive this trip, let's let him finish and figure out a different driver next year."
In politics though....
