Conservation Minister Nick Smith misled Parliament

with his statement that not a single Maui’s dolphin has been sighted inside an area opened up by the Government for oil drilling, the Green Party said today.

“Conservation Minister Nick Smith is not telling the truth when he says that no Maui’s dolphins have been observed in the area that the Government has opened up for oil and gas exploration,” said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman.

“Nick Smith’s own department has documented evidence that he is wrong, and that there have been sightings of Maui’s dolphins in the area that National is opening up for oil exploration.

“This gives us no confidence that this Government is taking the plight of the Maui’s dolphin seriously.”

Coalitions start after the elections, not before...

Writer Peter Wilson doesn't know squat. Coalitions begin AFTER the election, not before. It doesn't help the Nats all. They will continue to talk the crap they have talked for the last six years. The Nats will be unlikely to put a coalition together; the GG will then ask the opposition to put a coalition together. Labour and the Greens will commence talking when the election results are known

Living dead capitalism...

But it is what many want...

It’s Capitalism. (Photo credit:eyewashdesign: A. Golden)

The American socialist, G.S. Evans, calls this “Living Dead Capitalism” – a capitalism no longer capable of addressing contemporary human obligations but which, by super-efficiently funnelling the fruits of its own automatising ingenuity upwards to the dwindling number of real persons directing investment flows, continuously concentrates the “surplus value” of its non-humanworkforce in fewer and fewer human hands.
