Tired of unworkable regulations. Let farmers farm.

The damage this government has done to our country is immense. The social division, the spiralling debt, the bureaucracy chocking off the economy, the failing health, education and justice systems. We need a bold new direction before it’s too late #democracynz

Oh that’s much more accurate. DemocracyNZ is certainly the only party willing to challenge the climate and mandate madness! It’s a sad day when politicians are afraid of activists.

It’s interesting to see other parties now distancing themselves from the same HWEN they once supported. It was always a bad idea that was never going to work. It is not possible to tax farmers without increasing global emissions, politicians need to accept that and move on.

The Hamilton City Council has taken a hammering at the 20-minute city meeting. The deputy mayor has just walked out. They gave an incredibly weak and confusing pitch, then left as soon as the legitimate questions started. The 20 minute dream is not off to a good start!

Interesting comment from one of the last remaining councillors, Hamilton City Council was offered $40 million in climate money which is now being used to slow traffic under the guise of ‘safety upgrades’. It seems these new road layouts are actually paid for with climate funds.

Can you ask Ben why NIWA won’t release data on extreme weather events? It’s highly suspicious that NIWA claim an increasing trend yet don’t seem to have these events in a database.

Kiwis have every right to complain for losing or freedoms and being taxed and regulated at every turn. Does not wanting to be controlled by overseas organisations mean we are inward looking too? Christopher Luxon could not be more out of touch if he tried. #Luxonpm4Hawai

I’m very disappointed with the recent turn of events at DemocracyNZ. Thanks again for all the help and support I have received. Full video 👉 fb.watch/lfzqn9uy9R/?mi…

This is complete nonsense Jones, Julia I challenge you to explain how other countries will enact trade barriers on our products? How can they exclude highly efficient NZ produce but allow USA produce with a higher carbon footprint in? It simply won’t happen.

I’m genuinely interested how you believe trade barriers can be used against our agricultural products Jones, Julia? We hear these comments a lot but nobody is prepared to explain it. Are you able to back up your claim?

Anti-farming commentators like Jones, Julia will often make unsupported claims like NZ risks trade barriers if we don’t price emissions. Farmers have been under massive pressure from people who don’t understand ag emissions, the science will eventually prevail though.

Can you please write a formal response specifically outlining the alleged errors made? This is an important subject, we need more than one scientist’s opinion vs another. If they have made errors, state them and allow this discussion to proceed in a meaningful way.
