• Damian Grant: buried treasure

    From Crash@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 31 12:04:27 2023
    A review of Jacinda Ardern's leadership:

    https://tinyurl.com/29vo6yhu

    Of particular relevance: "Co-governance in areas like water
    infrastructure, land management and the health sector has been imposed
    without the usual process of consultation and consent.

    We are moving from a regime where historical wrongs are being
    addressed, to a state where one ethnic class has an inherent and
    enduring political status that is based on their ancestry. This cannot
    end well."

    Worth being reminded of other significant issues that have arisen
    during this time as well.

    Damien Grant is often worth reading - he expresses the views of David
    Seymour and to an extent Chris Finlayson quite well, but is able to
    take a slightly more controversial stance - he is an opinion writer
    who is cleverer than the Hosk.

    That he does not understand the Waitangi Treaty is fairly common - the
    issues deling with water are not as easy to understand as land; but he
    does not take into account the precedents from relatively recent
    co-governance arrangements - one led on the government side by Cullen,
    the other by Finlayson. ACT may disagree as Grant indicates, but when
    in office both National and Labour support settlements that do consult
    with wider groups.

    He does understand the Waitangi Treaty which in no way whatsoever deals with co-governance. You have had that explained time and time again and you have never provided any evidence to the contrary.
    Finlayson and Cullen did not deal with co-governance, that is a repeated lie. You have failed to provide any evidence that they did.
    Just restating your views on co-governance and the Treaty time after time does not mean anything without evidence. I am reminded of what Joseph Goebbels said.

    What has Finlayson got to do with anything? He's no longer an MP so what he thinks is like what you think Rich: Irrelevant!

    That he does not understand the Waitangi Treaty is fairly common - the

    It's you and your communists mate who are rewriting the Treaty Rich! Pity you're happier posting links to it rather than reading it!

    Off topic. I don't care about who or what Damien Grant may be like or
    who else may have a similar opinion.

    Off topic again. Grant references co-governance only in respect a
    review of Ardern's time in office, and therefore the claims you make
    about prior agreements is irrelevant.

    The issues are about the Water reforms Labour has enacted and are
    backed up by the public opposition to them that has been ignored.

    There is widespread agreement from many people - it is not clear which supporters number more or less than those that are opposed; many of
    course have no view at all. Certainly opposition is noisier, but we do
    not base our law-making decision on who is noisiest . . .

    The statistics are damning. There were over 88,383 submissions on the
    Water Entities of which at least 82,000 opposed the bill.

    Details here:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Services_Entities_Act_2022

    but it is clear there was not sufficient time allowed for the Finance
    and Expenditure Committee to hear this volume of submissions. That
    blows wide open any assertion that widespread consultation was
    considered. It was not and the timetable available never allowed this
    - a deliberate ply by the government.

    Oh yes we do - the provisions in this legislation go well beyond the
    remit of water quality and most of us are very well aware of the
    agenda that the He Pupua report no doubt introduced.

    There is no amount of irrelevant bluster from you that can counter
    this.
    Is stating reality bluster, Crash?

    You are yet to acknowledge reality on this. Do keep up on why this is
    one of the major reasons why Ardern has given up her leadership.

    How many were copies - it is quite common for organisations to send
    their members a template. Some groups are more inclined to copy and
    send than others. 82,000 people sounds a lot, and it is - a bit less
    than 0.002% of our population. Is the figure of 82000 relevant? (And
    how many submissions were in favour or just asking for small changes?)

    So how much time was given to a Select Committee to hear submissions

    The issues are about the Water reforms Labour has enacted and are
    backed up by the public opposition to them that has been ignored.
    There is widespread agreement from many people - it is not clear which >>supporters number more or less than those that are opposed; many of
    course have no view at all. Certainly opposition is noisier, but we do
    not base our law-making decision on who is noisiest . . .

    Oh yes we do - the provisions in this legislation go well beyond the
    remit of water quality and most of us are very well aware of the
    agenda that the He Pupua report no doubt introduced.

    Do you have any evidence that He Puapua had anything to do with the
    structure?


    There is no amount of irrelevant bluster from you that can counter
    this.
    Is stating reality bluster, Crash?

    You are yet to acknowledge reality on this. Do keep up on why this is
    one of the major reasons why Ardern has given up her leadership.

    Perhaps your reality is not my reality; and no I do not think Three
    Waters had much to do with Ardern resigning from being PM. I suspect
    it was more the vicious threats to her and her family, the constant
    insults and untruths - Three Waters has been no more subject to
    misleading information that pretty well anything else Labour has done.

    Off topic again. Grant references co-governance only in respect a >>>review of Ardern's time in office, and therefore the claims you make >>>about prior agreements is irrelevant.

    Not off topic. The quote was given above:
    "Co-governance in areas like water
    infrastructure, land management and the health sector has been
    imposed without the usual process of consultation and consent."

    I have pointed out that co-governance is not new; major agreements
    using co-governance were arranged by Michael Cullen and Chris
    Finlayson.

    Your assertions of this have been debunked repeatedly - and you ignore
    this because your unsupported political rhetoric.

    There has been much more consultation and discussion over
    the use of co-governance for Three waters. Even though Three waters is
    a larger issue than those previous co-governance agreements, more >>discussion has been appropriate, but the statement that I was
    responding to is still incorrect.

    The statistics are damning. There were over 88,383 submissions on the
    Water Entities of which at least 82,000 opposed the bill.
    How many were copies - it is quite common for organisations to send
    their members a template. Some groups are more inclined to copy and
    send than others. 82,000 people sounds a lot, and it is - a bit less
    than 0.002% of our population. Is the figure of 82000 relevant? (And
    how many submissions were in favour or just asking for small changes?)

    Of course the figure of 82,000 is relevant Rich! It doesn't matter if the submissions were from a template or not, 82,000 voters took the time to send them in!


    Details here: >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Services_Entities_Act_2022

    but it is clear there was not sufficient time allowed for the Finance
    and Expenditure Committee to hear this volume of submissions. That
    blows wide open any assertion that widespread consultation was
    considered. It was not and the timetable available never allowed this
    - a deliberate ply by the government.
    So how much time was given to a Select Committee to hear submissions
    on the Waikato River co-governance agreement? Which was better?

    The Waikato scheme was co management you gormless troll! A totally different situation to what is being forced on us by a totalitarian government!

    If Ardern hadn't been such a totalitarian and had actually kept her word she wouldn't have received the so called abuse Rich. She was a victim of her own stupid policy's like the useless and stupid bloody mandates!

    Up to you to find this out. The provenance of submissions is not
    particularly relevant unless you need an excuse to ignore them. Every
    one was sent by a person.

    Some groups are more inclined to copy and
    send than others. 82,000 people sounds a lot, and it is - a bit less
    than 0.002% of our population. Is the figure of 82000 relevant? (And
    how many submissions were in favour or just asking for small changes?)

    The significance of the number is that relative to Select Committee submissions, this is a large number which in turn signals
    significantly greater concern than normal.

    No idea. An irrelevant and irrational comment.

    Read the report yourself and all will be revealed.

    The former PM cited she was 'running on empty' and the unpopularity of
    the Water reforms legislation (on which Labour have no mandate) would
    surely have been a part of this.
