Overreach

Written by  The Hound
Overreach

OPINION: When Groundswell showed up in the 'advocacy hub' at Fieldays alongside the same groups that brought you He Waka Eke Noa, the Hound feared the ginger group had been brought into the woke fold and given the old rubber ring.

Fear not though, they seem to have their mojo intact, raising the alarm about the Gore District Plan, now out for consultation, which proposes to classify the entire Gore District under part of Section 6 of the RMA.

In this case, iwi could claim the entire district as 'sites of significance' - a massive overreach.

Groundswell notes this might sound like an issue in just one part of the country, "but this sort of thing is being pushed across the country and the stakes are enormous. Your council could, and quite possibly will, be next".

OPINION: Despite clear and negative feedback from the peasantry, the mainstream media have decided that their excrement doesn’t stink and they’re going to continue riding their moral high horse into oblivion.

Non, Paris!

OPINION: Critics of NZ’s commitment to the Paris Accord, such as Groundswell and others, continue to push for an exemption for ag, arguing that the threat of trade retaliation is more hypothetical than real.
