  • The problem is that NZ is too conservative of a nation to think outside the box of extractive industries and tourism. For a little while there people were trying to build a tech industry but that seems to have fizzled out.

    We desperately need stop thinking about packing plant and animal matter into shipping containers and trying to sell them overseas. Bits are much easier and cheaper to ship. We need to shift our economy to one based on intellectual property ASAP or we are going to continue to suffer from deprivation.







  • You could easily be describing most farm dogs. I think dogs having a small run and a kennel, where they spend most of there time, and getting to go for regular runs is just fine.

    I don’t. I would never treat my dog this way. Dogs are pack animals, they don’t like being alone. Dogs need to pee and poop and won’t do it in the kennel so they have to hold it for hours before they are let out. Dogs need mental stimulation and if left alone in a cage long enough will start gnawing on the wire and ruin their teeth.

    I would never leave my dog alone more than a couple of hours and even then I leave him inside the house where he can roam around and play with his toys if he wants.

    BTW I also think it’s disgusting how pigs are treated especially the ones kept in farrowing crates. Pigs are intelligent creatures why not let them have a decent life before you kill them in their youth.







  • What was the point of pushing the bill in the first place especially after the PM said it was DOA?

    The point was to move the overton window. You take the loss but you move the country closer to the racist future you envision.

    This is the same reason people made submissions. They don’t want to move the overton window and they want to fight at every step of the way because moving even one step in the direction that David Seymour wants to move the country is harmful to people.

    If we don’t fight now it will send a signal to the white supremacist that the field has been cleared for them, that the next time they will succeed.
