New Zealand
Aotearoa the land of the long white cloud. A country of differing nationalities and cultures striving to do their bit to help make New Zealand a wonderful country to live in.
It is despicable under this MMP system that we have a portion of MPs who hold ministerial portfolios unelected by the population at large. This is not democracy. It is socialistic dictatorship.
Up until two years ago this country, even under Helen Clark’s leadership, was a nation to be proud of.
What has happened now is a divided nation of hatred and distrust between town and country. We have a Left-wing coalition Government determined to destroy the very fabric of society as we have known it for the last 180 years.
Farming contributes 60 per cent of GDP and provides a living for many people employed in the service industry supporting small towns up and down the country.
Former prime minister David Lange claimed farming was a sunset industry in the 1980s. How wrong was he? And now we have Left wingers trashing the industry again. The callousness of their actions is having far-reaching effects on the moral and wellbeing of hard-working dedicated farmers and their families.
Talk of a government being fair to all walks of life in New Zealand is so far-fetched and unethical, callous and unjust. People that spend their livelihoods in the farming industry do it not only for the lifestyle but also to ensure their properties have been nurtured and the soil and environment is left in a very good condition for future generations.
The rhetoric of political overtones on climate change attacking farmers and a deliberate intention to destroy farming as we know it defies the imagination. Is there no feeling for these families who are dedicated, hard-working people.
About 41,000 years ago this planet went through a warming era. It is cyclical. The axis of the planet has shifted 2 degrees – from 22o to 24o. That in itself can create mayhem with the world’s weather – more turbulence and unpredictable weather. There is never any mention of sun spot activity which can also have a dramatic effect on the weather.
A bigger threat to this planet is overpopulation and nuclear war. Allan Andrews Ashburton
