Hello All...

The Climate change issue as a social movement is important as it gives rise to
such questions as: Is economic growth a good thing? Should we consume less?
Do we need to produce so much? Is industrialisation and intensive agriculture good for people and the planet? How do our actions affect people and environments far from
ours?

Climate change need not steer effort away from ending poverty, rather, good causes are not mutually exclusive and to address these problems a holistic approach is needed...one is life.


Idealistic or just artistic? (download)

When are you going to grow out of your idealism Lake? It's obvious that idealism drives change and provides us all with a better future...This is a thank you song in a time of crisis. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Urgency triumphs over democracy!

National is the new government in power in Aoetearoa. They have recently passed a few acts under urgency. The bills below were passed without being sent to Select Committee- where public consultation takes place. The taxation bill was passed without giving anyone a chance to read it before debate took place...

The bills are as follows:

*The Employment Relations Amendment Bill (the one where you have no rights for your first 90 days of employment)


*Electricity (Renewable Preference) Repeal Bill (building more coal power plants...)

*Energy (Fuels, Levies, and References) Biofuel Obligation Repeal Bill (Don't worry about supplying Biofuels...)

*Taxation (Urgent Measures and Annual Rates) Bill (There's no bill digest on this one, so you can see the bill's history here or read the green view here)

keep informed...
