Hello. Been awhile. And 2 hrs later get to write this blog. Opened up the Computor go to the auto log in button. Gone. Space bar address gone. Moderator of sight did a flip but i,m no expert. At least he got the job sorted. But something went quite wrong. Well to the purpose of this blog. Carbon.. $34/t while back .up to the mid $50,s now. Getting to be abit of a Bit Coin. And if you are following the commentary. The enthusiasm is waning. And that is what the Jardon man said too. Well seems the national Co-alition has lost its way, with all the promise’s re Fresh water, and co-governance. Just like they promised no private land under threat of land claim’s. Yet there they are. on the 17th of the 3rd, March. Peter Williams , Tax payers Union warned. National about to lock in co-governance of local water. On the 19th of March, the Horowhenua Chronical pg 5. Who,s holding the Tap? New board appointed. Been set up to deliver reliable and efficient services for the communities it serves? My view. Yea right. Just more cost. another tier of administrative expense. There will be no cost savings. Seen it all before in the early 1990,s. Amalgamation of District and Borough Councils. Same promise’s. What happened. The RMA. 1991.. Loss of property rights and voice around the council table, for rural, rate payers. County Council plant, equipment and assets sold. Private contractors employed. Of course they needed to make a good profit, and essential infrastructure, including roading took the hit. You cannot argue. This amalgamation will be just the same, and i agree with Peter Williams. Co- Governance. With maori holding all the cards. When. 2028. Why. Common Catchment expiry dates. Just look up the One Plan. Or what ever Plan. Given that Regional Councils are supposed to be gone ?. But i see our regional was demanding a place around the table. There are huge $ advantages to be had here, but only if they are gone . Minister McKelvie told me .as i reported after the last election. They will be given their legally bound role of river and drainage, and only for flood protection and infrastructural projects associated with. Thank Property Rights . Thank John and I. Yes i will say it. Thank US. For I made the Labour Govt of the day way back some time in 2012-13 for my excellent submission to the then submission process for Local govt reform. Billions of $ in saving to the national rate, tax payer, if Regional C,s done away with presenting legal explanation’s for my assertions, and Horizon’s expenditure projections as per the annual plan. John for his untiring efforts to research and help preparing Property Rights Appeal to the High Court. I have to say the Environment Court decision was ultra vires. The Court was corrupt Given that it had a submission from then Minister of Conservation (National) that Horizons Regional Council had assumed the roles and functions of District councils and she was quite comfortable about that. Bio Diversity provisions. But how is it that the feds employed a top flight legal rep, Mr Gardener , to represent the industry, and well. All i can say is .Un derwellming . National. Well i think, no alot of people have had a guts full of both major parties. How the voters roll out or do not role out this coming election is by no means certain. Well the feds have finally found their voice. There in the Fed farmer’s section of the Farmers Weekly March 23 2026. Farmers worse off in RMA overhaul. (fedfarm.org.nz) More regulatory red tape. Unworkable. Don Brash, Ground Swell, and the Tax payers Union are more blunt. Take over by maori. Using their cultural concerns to achieve the outcomes sought. Managing the Natural Physical by maori for the benefit of Maori. From the mountains to the sea, and all in between. Think i am mad. Read what’s been going on with the far North District Council. Maori take over by unelected persons. Allowed full voting rights. Southland District Council. Ag Emissions targets to be imposed unrealistic, says former speaker of the house Sir Lockwood Smith. He is not alone ,as i have reported in previous post. This is so typical of the perverse outcomes resulting from poor political decision making that i observed to often during my lengthy political career. (Rural news March 10th 2026) But there it is. given it was 7th July `2025. Front page Rural news. Feds sticking with Paris agreement. Total economic sabotage? not to. Demanded buy our trading partners, Industry players participants ..Not as i understand it. In fact could it be the opposite. Indian Free trade agreement and the European one once the Dust settled . Economic sabotage. ??. Hells bells. Muriel Newman.. NZ Center for Political research 24 /5/2026. The end of climate extremism. .Groundbreaking News. The extreme climate change scenario RCP8.5 long treated by NZ officials as the gospel, and used to impose higher costs and heavy restrictions across the entire economy, has now been officially rejected as implausible by the international body responsible for climate modelling. This it seems is big news over the rest of the world ,but not here. Why?? Silence. I will say it. Because govt on both sides of the house are seeking treasonous out comes subverting democracy thus seeking political change. T achieve they need the populous to be subjugated by financial pressure ,so they are to busy trying to survive to take any notice what wayward Govts are up to.. Alot more to this. One should write to her and get the full article. Climate Change. Its the opening statement of local govt plans.
Well i have run out of room on the space bar. More to report my view on next month.
