Thank you Bjorn Lomborg for your insights - how to get the most benefit by investing in Best Things First. ACT was chuffed to host Bjorn and Roland from Copenhagen Consensus Centre at Parliament this week, to present to around 80 guests. BCR key to good decision making!
Except that all the existing passports in stock will be issued before the new version is printed...facts matter Nick. So does making sure other countries border force can see "New Zealand Passport" instead of wondering "where is Aotearoa?"
What a massive waste of money for a racist dog whistle. nzherald.co.nz/nz/confirmatio…
This is a ghost supermarket. There should already be a Woolworths on this site in Halswell, Christchurch. But it took four years and $3 million just to get permission to build it. This is why grocery prices are so high. Firstly, the $3 million cost to get resource consent is…
It's time to stop forcing spirituality onto building sites.

Resource consent needed for a third dog - the RMA has been weaponised and misused. Another (bizarre) example of why ACT campaigned to replace the RMA with a system based on property rights. Legislation will be in the House late 2025, passed by mid-2026. kiwiblog.co.nz/2025/07/resour…

I don't follow a religion - but glad to see you share my concerns about how easily people can be won over to murderous beliefs against a different group.
I wrote an extensive essay at high school on the markers of Fascism, how a populace can be willingly won over to its more murderous facets. Organised religions such as the type @SimonCourtACT etc follow is a key component that allows race based murder to occur.
