Political Points
OPINION: Staying on Plan Change 1, NZ First deputy leader Shane Jones took to social media to gain some political points.
The Hound applauds the intent of undoing the legislative vandalism, and Jones for admitting his part in it, having been part of that government.
However, with the current Opposition scaring the market by promising to undo any changes Jones makes now, Jones himself will know that international investors won't touch us with a barge pole; the high costs and long timeframes require country to have a stable, long-term policy on these things.
With the Labour-Greens-Māori Party firmly against it, Jones will struggle to get anyone to "drill baby, drill!"
