It was a great interview. There are two major problems. One being a minority but very vocal group of racist racist Maori mainly in Greens and the Maori Party as well as some in Labour. The other is climate change hysteria sadly promoted by our left of centre PM.

The only people responsible for our present situation are our very weak politicians. Parliament has supreme rights in this country. Not academics, judges or radical extremists. However, we are in a dire situation when our elected representatives no longer reply to our emails, letters, petitions and submissions. China is now mining in the sea around the Cook Islands. Funny, the lukewarm support there was for the Kermadec Marine Sanctuary, but no doubt the Chinese will be welcomed in that area as well soon by many of our politicians. I can't hear The Greens speaking out. If New Zealanders keep voting for these people what do you expect? There are now hundreds of New Zealanders writing and submitting in support of "one people, one vote and one law for all". People simply must vote wisely next election. It is hard to know why some of these politicians are there, and what they stand for...if anything.
