Envirologue: Choose Wisely, Grasshopper:…, in reply to Marc C,
It was a serious mistake already, to offer to talk to the PM about climate change targets, and he got the answer one had to expect. Do not even talk or negotiate with the devil, stay well clear,
Really? TBH I’m pretty much over this tired approach to politics.
I would hope that James will talk to every member of parliament about climate change.
The Green Party appear to have the most sensible policy response to the problems facing us. The challenge will be to get as many on board as possible. Keep talking I say. -
So are there any proposed policy changes that demonstrate this Shavian push to the right? Or is Dave just knitting with the collected navel fluff from Hooton and Farrar?

Hard News: Campbell Live: A Disturbance…, in reply to Michael Meyers,
Along with John Campbell, how many others are going to just walk away from TV3 in the next few months?
And go where?

Hard News: Campbell Live: A Disturbance…, in reply to Alfie,
But quality journalism is in trouble when the Listener starts dumbing itself down.
Quality journalism? I buy it for advice on the latest fad diet, the newest 'likely' cancer cure/cause, and to see what I could be watching if only I had taken out a Sky subscription.
Actually, I don't buy it - I browse through it at New World and take photos of any Lorraine Jacobs recipe that takes my fancy.
Guess I'm part of the 'problem'...

Hard News: The epitome of reason, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Their beliefs seem to be immaterial - whatever the result of their actions there appears to be no consequence for them when things turn bad. Just move on to the next company. I wonder if Sir Ralph Norris is giving the business decisions at Fonterra a second thought now he has sailed off into the distance...

Hard News: The epitome of reason, in reply to Alfie,
The European quotas were only removed in April this year, adding to Fonterra’s problems.
But the quota removal has been planned since at least 2008, http://capreform.eu/milk-quota-removal-could-cost-eu-farmers-e4-billion/
European countries have been ramping up their production capacity for many years and Fonterra seem to have made no allowance for this flooding of the market. What could possibly go wrong?
Why aren't our wonderfully astute business commentators hauling these directors over the coals? Are the NBR's teeth reserved for the mastication of the left? -
Hard News: The epitome of reason, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Funny how those only lasted until the election as Fonterra limited supply to keep the price up. Suddenly after the election we have a mountain of milk to get rid of and the prices have to drop again.
I thought the drop in price was due to the glut of milk coming on stream following the removal of quotas in the EU?

“….with a penchant for thumbing his nose at authority and any and all manifestations of the “nanny state”
Even when a right wing toss pot gets caught behaving badly, the Herald still manages to get a dig in at the expense of the left.
When will we get to see the phrase “dead beat Dad state” make an appearance in our media?

Mora won't be dropped. He's the National Party replacement for Sean Plunket.

Envirologue: Multi-no-choice –…, in reply to Alfie,
immediate action is needed to prevent catastrophic climate change.
Catastrophic?
Yikes! Stomper will be stirring from his fossil fuelled slumber as we speak...
