I'm pleased you are Rachael, I'd be worried if you weren't. Which poster of the three works best for you? Or should I print all three?

Hi Dave,
I prefer the second one. Couple of resons
- it is more dramatic
- it actually captures the message visually
- people can see two forms of "income", two futures if you like. Maybe include some organic cows in the field? (that is a little joke btw but I am serious about the cows - get the farmers thinking.
- hey what about black death/white gold (dirty lignite, lovely organic milk?) reckon you could get an image out of that
- how about a picture of the mine in the future? You know big wasteland and a picture of the future with just farming... :-)

Thanks for the feedback, Shane. I actually almost chose a picture with cows but as I am also fighting to reduce cow numbers to save the Waituna Lagoon, it didn't quite seem right. Sheep may be better, or some apple trees.

Maybe a cow next to a few trees (and defiantly not near a river!).

Perhaps with a mountain in the background? Hmmm need to go scenery scouting...

Good posters.

FACT CHECKING DAVID SEYMOUR

Image
I was interested in David Seymour's public presentation of the Justice Select Committee's report after the submissions to the Treaty Principles Bill. I noted the arguments he presented and fact checked him. I welcome corrections and additions to what I have written but want to keep the responses concise. The Treaty of Waitangi does not represent a partnership. WRONG : Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a foundational document of New Zealand, establishing a relationship of partnership between the Crown and Māori. The principle of partnership, which requires the Crown and Māori to work in partnership in the governance, design, delivery, and monitoring of services, is a key aspect of the Treaty. All kiwis should be equal in their human rights before the law. DELIBERATELY MISLEADING : The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's own unique statement of human rights. It includes both universal human rights and Indigenous rights. At a basic level of human rights we are treated the same, howeve...

The Destruction of New Zealand's Public Education System

Image
In 2008 New Zealand was internationally ranked in the top seven for educational achievement, and when you compared us with other countries that were also culturally diverse and experiencing growing inequality, we were extremely successful. At that time our Early Childhood sector had received a much overdue boost in funding from the Labour Government after being underfunded (as a % of GDP) compared to other OECD nations for years. The sector was working towards a target of having 100% qualified teachers in all centres. We were also in the process of implementing a new National Curriculum and a complementary curriculum for Maori ( Te Marautanga o Aotearoa ). Teachers were excited about putting all their energies into the new ideas and approaches that were espoused in these co-constructed documents that had taken around seven years to review and write. Evidence, research and practitioner input had created something that would allow us to prepare New Zealand children to become ...

Climate Change Just Got Personal

Over ten years ago (2007) I organised a symposium on climate change to support a Climate Change Tour being conducted by the Green Co-leaders at the time, Jeanette Fitzsimons and Russel Norman. It was Norman who fronted at the Invercargill meeting and he was supported by his young staff member Gareth Hughes. We had over 40 attendees, including representatives from local councils and a scientist from NIWA, who also spoke. For many of those attending, the information they received was largely new to them. At that time the reality of climate change and its human causes were still being debated in homes around the country. Nothing substantial was really being done ten years ago, but the fifth Labour Government had passed the Climate Change Response Act in 2002 to provide a legal framework for ratifying the Kyoto agreement and to meet obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2008, just before the end of their term, the Labour Government established...
