Over the past ten years NZ has averaged 55.9 days annually under a State of Emergency each year, and 66.6 days over the last five. In the 10 years prior to this, NZ averaged only 13.4 days per year. Consider the implications of central government continuing to refuse to believe in climate change.

Robin Williams made a joke about corrupt politicians wearing sponsor jackets, but that's what Peter Mandelson did. This scandal has caused fewer resignations, plots, briefings, and backstabbing than Corbyn's election as party leader (twice), that says something about #LaboursBackstabbingTendency
