Agreed. I remain wary of this government but they deserve credit for quickly and calmly assembling a?

First he's all swagger, bluff and confidence, then suppine and conciliatory and finally just outright nuts suggesting we not pay our Kyoto committments.

Maybe privately Rodney is wary of a carbon trade war with the G20?

Hasn't Turia said she is in favour of replacing it with work schemes or something? I'm sure Rodney would agree. And, of course, under Labour, the DPB is now lumped in with the Unemployment Benefit, single parents being unemployed in their eyes.

National uses whichever one it wants to get legislation passed in the background, all the while looking 'reasonable'; most media concentrate on the sniping rather than the legislation; and we look up in three years and suddenly notice that we've, like, privatised the air in public parks or something.

If Rodders is impressed by the linguistic baubles of Full Initial Capitals, perhaps Turia and Sharples are more like e e cummings..

and we look up in three years and suddenly notice that we've, like, privatised the air in public parks or something.

Now that's just silly Danielle, they'll never get away with that.

What they'll do is privatise the air over private property. Then when the air moves over public parks,?

Providers will obviously compete for your business, this will lead to much better results than the ETS.

And so it begins. Turia to Hide: on Maori spending, you can stick your private-sector razor gang up your arse.

Kyle, I actually think this is one of the few heartening things in there! The negative impacts on trade and our role in international diplomacy (beyond just climate too) would be significant if we were?

But there's another question that persists with me: What kind of producer would let a steaming drunk on air to discuss anything, let alone a subject where the emotional temperature is at boiling point from the beginning?

I watched part of the show, and at least for the couple of?

Getting those views into such a review weighs heavily towards a "stay in Kyoto and react properly" outcome...

I am totally prepared to accept the possibility of anthropomorhic climate change if it can be proved

Andrew, what would constitute proof for you?

Smart move, having reviews chaired by the private sector so they can be blamed for unpopular decisions.

The first thing they should be looking at is why the government is creating a whole parallel bureaucracy outside the?

By contrast, I have heard somewhere in the last week (can't remember where) that one way to save money now without axing existing public servants would be to force them to take on much of the work currently contracted out to?

Well that answers the question of where the rest of the displaced consultants would go..

This is fairly depressing considering the huge impact that local government makes upon most peoples' lives.

Uh, yeah. I was a little shocked when I heard that ACT had been handed that Ministry. There's an awful lot of damage that they can do there, and unfortunately simmering resentment over rates?

Roads and piped water will be supplied on a fully commercial basis

Privatise the roads? – can't see that one going down well with moderate National voters. I suppose we need to see how these extreme positions (including climate change) get diluted during negotiation.

simmering resentment over rates increases may give them a leg-up with public opinion

Caleb, I'd say you're dead right. Hide said on Nine to Noon this morning (stream, download) that he wanted to be seen as the Minister for Ratepayers.

piped water will be supplied on a fully commercial basis

Does that mean there will be free public ponds from which to draw water from if you don't have access to the piped kind?

how deliciously third world!

Media7 this week looks at the reporting we're not getting about Afghanistan. And it's more of a story for us than you might think. On Pundit, David Beatson has written some very interesting stuff based on his OIA requests about New?

"What ?income gap? are they talking about? GDP per capita or wages or what?" It's not a goal, it's a pamphlet.

... see Australia as a benchmark

Isn't that setting our sights a bit low? Wouldn't Britain, Switzerland or Saudi Arabia be a better benchmark, they're way richer than the Aussies?

I'm sure that with ACTs superior faith-based science policy we should find that oil off the Kermadecs within the next?

And every time someone points to one of those lists of disssenting scientists — which includes, among other things, the hosts of TV gardening programmes — that view is reinforced.

But Russell, last year my roses wilted under the heat, and this year, growing strong and not going brown fast?

Hide is parrots the most primitive denialist talking points (or "factoids" as Russell terms them) and is, frankly, an ass when it comes to this topic. No?

Uh, yeah. I was a little shocked when I heard that ACT had been handed that Ministry. There's an awful lot of damage that they can do there

We shouldn't have been shocked, this appointment was fairly clear from election night. A lot of the ACT policy resonates with many?

Clearly, climate change is a myth.

It was sunny yesterday, but now we have nasty cold rain again. Clearly, you must be right.

Still, there is one upside: grad students will still be able to write theses about the failure of NZ climate change policy, with exactly the same conclusions?

Rose-wilting heat in Dunedin last year? Unprecedented! This year though there's been lots of snow around so clearly global warming is a myth.

But no wait, on Saturday it was like 29 degrees here, and my dogs were puffing and panting and hardly got up from their couch all day.?

When the overwhelming majority of competent scientists and the science academies of all the major countries line up behind a theory of anthropogenic climate change, I take the view that I'd be a fool to disagree.

Sure – but has this actually happened? Every time I take some interest in?

There seems to be plenty of "capitalist pig" theorising going on here (privatising airspace in parks, etc) and that's fine, whatever floats your boat, but I do sometimes wonder, why don't you just sit back and watch what actually unfolds with an open mind?

I'm sorry. That sign at the?

Sure – but has this actually happened? Every time I take some interest in this topic there seems to be respected scientists on opposing sides and you're left wondering if they can't figure it out then who can?

Well, actually the respectable scientist are all lined up behind?

One thing for good lefties (which I understand to be the bulk of the scribes here) to consider – the majority of NZers that bothered to vote, voted for National.

Um, Rik, 45.45% is not a majority.

One thing for good lefties (which I understand to be the bulk of the scribes here) to consider – the majority of NZers that bothered to vote, voted for National.

No, a plurality — about 45% voted National.

So while you might not like what is happening, you are now?

One thing for good lefties (which I understand to be the bulk of the scribes here) to consider – the majority of NZers that bothered to vote, voted for National.

Some respected commentators say National got over half the vote. Others say they got 45.45% of the vote. Who's right??

And I think it would be fairer to say that most people here are much more worried about the party that's acting like 3.7% is a mandate.

Yes.

At least Rik stated that the majority voted for National, not National & ACT as many seem to think.

So while you might not like what is happening, you are now in the minority in this country.

Was that point meant to illustrate some sort of argument? Or was it just an observation? Because if it was the latter, we kinda already worked that one out on Saturday night.?

Still, there is one upside: grad students will still be able to write theses about the failure of NZ climate change policy, with exactly the same conclusions as the last such exercise.

Now the new government is providing fertile ground for plagiarism ... when will it all end?!

So while you might not like what is happening, you are now in the minority in this country.

First they came for the people who did not vote for change...

get it...

hehhehe

So while you might not like what is happening, you are now in the minority in this country.

Yeah! Take that, you lefties and righties!

Nothing can stop the man from the middle – give me Centrism or give me death!

Some respected commentators say National got over half the vote. Others say they got 45.45% of the vote. Who's right? Who knows? Probably we shouldn't implement the election results until we're sure.

Possibly some subtle irony I'm totally missing in your statement, but, erm... its an empirical question.?

We need more evidence than that ...

We need more evidence than that ...

The perfect subject for some of that contract commission research ACT wants, don't you think?

We should also expect at least investigation of the corporatisation/privatisation of many services? water first. In Auckland it puts a whole new dimension on the ongoing Royal Commission review.

I see Rodney being good for getting Auckland's councils to pull their heads in, in terms of getting a solid model?

@ Russell – I now know what a "plurality" is! And yes the tone does sound a bit "threatening" so I take the tone back. But not the words.

At least I got a good laugh out of the responses...

They have agreed on the concrete goal of closing the income gap with Australia by 2025.

The irony of this is that it was Roger Douglas who dealt to productivity in the late 80's promising gain from pain and the Nats who dealt to wages with Employment Contracts Act promising?

"That was a stupid thing to say. But I might have said it stone cold sober."

In context (Key's to the left of Helen, climate change ain't happening) it obvious he joined the right political party.

At least I got a good laugh out of the responses...

We aim to please.

Why would you adopt a gimmick measure that has been a failure everywhere else?

Dr Cullen is apparently easily the brightest member of the NZ Parliament since the retirement of Richard Prebble.

I've often said that Roger Federer is easily the best tennis player since that one time my grandmother picked up a racket.

As far as I could tell, his position is that the globe isn?t warming. Or at least not warming significantly.

I don't get Rodney at all. He has a science background (a degree in zoology and botany from Canterbury) and has penned the following ...

Gordon Campbell has some informed comment on National's pledge to adopt Rodney Hide?s New Zealand Taxpayers Bill of Rights Bill as a government bill.

Ignoring empirical evidence is fun!

for the absence of Lockwood Smith on the front benches. Yee har!

Or a Croke Stadium silence for Mr Speaker.

I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to understanding the nuances of party policy, but can somebody explain how an MP from the anti-regulation, pro-business Act party be MP for Consumer Affairs?

Whaddaya, some kind of anti-formaldehyde-in-children's-pyjamas extremist? Surely everyone in New Zealand has the right to be?

Can I please have a big round of applause and a giant "Good Riddance too" for the absence of Lockwood Smith on the front benches. Yee har!

I can't imagine him being any great shakes as Speaker though.

I can't imagine him being any great shakes as Speaker though.

He'll own question time though. "Your starter for three..."

The full circle for Lockwood.

Looks like a tradition is forming for giving the Foreign Affairs portfolio to someone you need but want to see as little of as possible.

Question: did Lockwood ever host "W3"? I remember Selwyn Toogood and Peter Hawes, and of course Lockwood was on "It's Academic", but I don't ever remember him on "W3".

He'll own question time though. "Your starter for three..."

lol.

But all questions must start with a W.

Tom? Were you on W3 & was Lockwood asking the questions?

Excuse ignorance and temporary misplaced excitement about absence of Lockwood but does the Speaker get to do anything really important or can I still rejoice over Lockwood not having significant say in this government.

It does keep him out of mischief, for sure. He's only running Parliament.

Act's ministerial positions are horrifying. Local government is being done to death in here, but there are other portfolios that are at least as scary

That's almost one quarter of parliament.

Just out of interest – how does that compare to Labour's last parliament?

Slightly better.

Add majestic lines... for majesty.

Anne Tolley's first act as Education minister has been to have to deny emphatically that a return to bulk funding is an option.

Hide seems to be somewhat out of control.

I would think that in general terms the truth or not of people causing Global warming would be overshadowed by the action to make the planet more sustainable and a nicer place to be in/on. Let's clean up the act (Act) anyway.

I think that's wrong, sorry. If it is?

No eating babies, yet? :)

Quite the contrary.

Maurice "12,000 vote majority" Williamson should be another one to watch.

Didn't Alan Peachey enter politics (as a Nat) for the sole purpose of re-instituting bulk funding? Would be interesting to hear his views on Hide vs Tolley.

That's my memory of things. Bulk funding and greater funding for private schools were once the major points of difference between the parties?

How would the public service get supervised? I know they are all consumatte professionals

Or would that be "consummating" professionals? After all, the public service is a favour target of, err, colourful language.
And would it be fair to assume that, if Rodders has his way, they'll be "consummated" professionals?

Guilty as charged. It's amazing how low an information-crazed young geek would sink for a set of encyclopaedias in thos distant pre-Interweb days.

Hey, me too! Although it was Selwyn Toogood when I was on it. And I got a year's subscription to a very worthy set of educational magazines?

If Kiwiblog ever closed down what on earth would Larry Williams and Leighton Smith do for material for their shows ?

As a dutiful Media Monitor, I must sadly report that Leighton would not suffer one bit. He seems fonder of drawing material from Not PC.

Gosh... If only the?

Actually, I think Hide currently holds the record on OIA requests, so just having him in Government will reduce the public sector workload by about 20%

LMAO. Brilliant!!

How would the public service get supervised? I know they are all consumatte professionals, but the idea of a democracy is that the elected government and parliament controls policy (Officials advise, Ministers decide).

I'm happy for their to be a minister supervising the bureaucracy. I'm just not sure that we?

That's probably why they are all starting to run into very large debts.

It will be nice to see if the new government stops telling schools that they have some great programs but they aren't going to give them any money to run them.

Pita Sharples might be keen to?

He has amassed a large amount of data, peer reviewed and published, showing that us humans have been modifying the climate since the first hunter?

I'm happy for their to be a minister supervising the bureaucracy. I'm just not sure that we need two Ministers to supervise the non-existent world cup bureaucracy, one surely is enough.

How about none? Somehow, there are any number of large cultural and sporting events every year that stagger on?

A combination of John Banks and Rodney Hide for Auckland? Afraid to say that's going to set back the city at least 50 years......one week?

I'm just not sure that we need two Ministers to supervise the non-existent world cup bureaucracy, one surely is enough.

According to the press conference Key gave yesterday, it's one associate and one deputy minister. We were left in the dark as to whom the Minister for the RWC was...?

Even if the panels themselves are outside the OIA their recommendations and other material that's given over to the Crown is absolutely OIA-worthy. And the Ombudsmen have shown themselves quite willing to tell pollies to hand over reports that originated outside their departments.

I think we can sometimes take for?

How about none? Somehow, there are any number of large cultural and sporting events every year that stagger on without their own minister.

Well I'd be happy with none. But one would be better than two.

Also not needed, Minister for Lord of the Rings, as much as it was?

Seems to be arguing that with Rodney and Maurice covering Local Govt and Building while outside cabinet, they get to form their own little deregulating posse without it falling back on Key.

Perhaps an overly-optimistic comment from Owen McShane on Poneke.

He think she's onto something because he made the same comment at kiwiblog

Breaking News: Key still PM!

It occurs to me that reading the blogs of government supporters is no fun at all (I didn't read the standard or any of the others pre election), so?

Tell me as a father you don't see things a little differently than when you occupied Registry!

My son is 10 and I still have three or four years to pay off my student loan. You better believe allowances and tertiary funding is stuff that I think about.

Do we have 3 years now of sites like Kiwiblog fawning over every move Key makes?

Well, I'm pretty sure sites like The Standard will continue bring the theatre eight shows a week, two matinees.

My point is that Bennett's in for a challenging time – because she's new, because?

It occurs to me that reading the blogs of government supporters is no fun at all (I didn't read the standard or any of the others pre election), so who is the preferred blog of the opposition? Is there one?

Do we have 3 years now of sites like Kiwiblog fawning over every move Key makes?

Will Key post the occasional comment there? Hanging out with terminal-acne-case libertarians and rat-trap-down-the-back-of-their-y-fronts homophobes doesn't really seem to be his style. Brash's minders persuaded him to try it once upon a time -?

Surely he won't keep his radio show and be Speaker? It's bad enough allowing active politicians to be radio presenters at all.

That's either an easy error or a clever gag...

Brash's minders persuaded him to try it once upon a time – probably the first step towards his becoming political dog tucker.

I know this one!

The "Brash" comment on Kiwiblog was actually written by John Ansell, who didn't check first with Richard Long. Long was furious. I thought it?

Rose-wilting heat in Dunedin last year? Unprecedented! This year though there's been lots of snow around so clearly global warming is a myth.

We had 25 degrees one day and snow the next. Apparently, according to a colleague's mother, this is a clear indication that global warming is nonsense.

Long was furious. I thought it came off okay.

Except for the fact that at the time, DPF had a much worse server (or software?), and kiwiblog pretended to time out whenever you posted a comment. Old hands knew this, and didn't make multiple posts, figuring theirs to turn up.?
