Mind blowing.
The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.

That's >double the average cost of the last eight RONS. #nzpol

We need free RAT tests
We need Covid booster uptake - and availability for under 30s
We need clean air
We need to encourage masking
We need media reporting
Our health system is at breaking point now - and a wave will come.
