There’s too much green banshee-like shrillness coming from those who want to drink the milk but not buy the cow.
We must increase our national wealth to lift our standard of living.
Auckland port, site of coal imports from Indonesia destined for Huntly power station. Cancelling Taranaki oil and gas has left us with worse climate outcomes!!
New Zealand, you have a champion in Matua Shane Jones – I will continue to work hard to ensure our economy functions in the interest of garden variety kiwis, not the Gentailers, not the big banks, and definitely not the woke-riddled Green ideologies!
Today I attended the Kopu Wharf, Hauraki. Decided, unwisely, to engage with local protesters.
The squawking hecklers prevented respectful dialogue. The Fastrack Bill is key NZ First coalition outcome.
NZ First knows that investors will take risks and boost our regional economies.
The test however is to give certainty by shrinking red, green and brown tape.
Red means Labour vanity signalling such as closing down our oil refinery.
Green means worshipping at the altar of
Kia ora Folks! In Dunedin inspecting fuel storage capabilities, visiting regional New Zealand where supply could be as short as 6 days in the event of an emergency. Fuel resilience. Common sense!
“I’m quite disturbed in the way the expression ‘we are the kohanga generation’ is used by the Māori Party and it runs the risk of accentuating a new type of elitism and unless you reflect a cultural facility or a kapa haka addiction, then you are less worthy,”
Climate Mania has reduced our energy options through the shut down or shrinking of the oil, gas and coal mining industries. Sky high power prices have meant that our manufacturers have to close their doors and send workers home.
The livelihood of firms and families cannot be
We are telling global and Kiwi investors our country is moving from "cancel economics" to "can-do economics". We are open for business. We will reward risk taking, investment, and restore the place of the extractive sector.
"It's not only sending negative signals through to the rangatahi, the young people, but it elevates lunatic fringe thinking which has got no place in modern New Zealand politics given the economic challenges that we face."
My recent bill extends aquaculture consents by 20 years. With characteristic coyness and diffidence, I’m pleased to share with New Zealanders: after 40 years—almost biblical—day and night, marine farmers have been waiting for this type of economic salvation.
We’re committed to using our own natural resources to keep the lights on in kiwi households. We won’t let the Green politburo undermine our national energy security.
Yesterday I delivered your government’s mineral policies, full of common sense, at packed Blackball community hall, West Coast.
A site of mining legacy, rudely abandoned by woke riddled climate alarmism. Jobs, resilience and export revenue.
Join me on the growth march..
"If you want to live in a modern nation, if you want to have access to energy which is regarded as a cardinal feature of the first world then you've got to have multiple sources of energy," Jones said.
I had a korero with Corin Dan about rebuilding our nation’s pride, resilience, and unity. Folks are fed up with the cartoonish stretching of Treaty principles, it’s time we reviewed the Waitangi Tribunal.
This bill is to provide a fast-track decision-making process that facilitates the delivery of infrastructure and development projects with significant regional and national benefits.
If we want to lower the cost of living and make New Zealand a world leading nation again, we need to grow our economy. New Zealand First has a plan, our coalition agreement secured commitments to significant infrastructure upgrades, using more of our own natural resources, and
As a climate-smart mining Minister, I will ensure, where people want to invest in the minerals sector in New Zealand, there is certainty and no more of this nonsense.
“As Kiwis, are we better off developing it, extracting it and exploiting it to boost our resilience or are we better off going for globalization and importing and all?”
