You had the tenacity and fortitude to write that submission. You weren't apathetic. You stood up.
You have the greatest gift. Independent thought.
And even if it got shredded?
You made your point.
And be proud of that. Of course they won't answer .
But your submission, and thousands of others, were read. And they are heard.
Just look at the reversal on the entrenchement of 5, 6 ,7, 8 waters? Good grief
Who knows anymore?
They did read your submission. And it's a tiny increment, but coupled together with everyone else that had the courage to make a submission, people like you do enact change.
I'm incredibly proud of what you, and fellow submitters have achieved. Maybe I shoul…
yeah welcome to my world.....they refused an oral submission despite it coming from a registered political party (Outdoors & Freedom) because we didn't support the bill. Despite putting in lots of alternative suggestions, despite pointing out the inconsistencies and the space for 'privatisation', allowing for corruption, the horribly convoluted incomprehensible language, the fact that it would allow for MORE borrowing and allow for borrowing in foreign currencies (not currently allowed in local govt) shows who might be behind this piece of trash. It would be interesting to find who originated and actually WROTE this.
Indeed, what is now perceived as "consultation" is a charade.
The decisions have already been made.Acceptance has already been promoted by proaganda, marketing and advertising (which we all paid for).The "consultation" is allowing people to disagree and object so that their objections can be better understood and dealt with by more propaganda.A lot of disagreement or objections could influence the people that have already made the decisions to slightly alter them or defer the implimentation temporarily but their minds are made up and that cannot be changed.Real consultation is a process that occurs when the opinions of the people are requested and considered before decisions are made.
I’m picking in less than 50 years ( Long after I’m gone for good ). The current influx of Asian , Indian, and Middle Eastern Immigrants will have taken over this county. Samples of what it will look like are on display in the Auckland suburbs now. The Māori won’t even get a say in what happens to NZ They will be outnumbered and overruled by the “NEW “ New Zealander and become Token guests
Her with the wavy arms and the scowly face must be costing the taxpayer hundreds of thousands in security. I can't think of a person in NEW ZEALAND that would be more hated than her. Ma Hooter and Limp Willie Jackson may come a close 2nd and 3rd.
