This post follows on from the previous one. In that the subject bill was a focal point of the protests. I did not address it in the initial post because its a complicated issue that would have made the post far too long.
There are many positives to the bill, and the main one of course is its intent. NZ really needs to get moving or it will regress into a failed state. The significant negative is it gives the left a somewhat legitimate cover for their more sinister primary objectives.
The concept the left have perhaps fairly targeted is the three man panel that in the end will decide whether a project proceeds or not.
Sure, the concept of corruption through hidden party funding exists. This could be dealt with by means of more transparency in both donations and the project approval process.
If you’re in favour of the current process, then fine. However here is the real question – What happens when Labour resumes power and they set up their own three man tribunal?
As they do in so many cases, the Nationals have well meaningly set up a system that once the left returns to power can be easily abused to the detriment of our freedom and prosperity.
So what to do?
The real issue here is the doomsday scenario promoted by the environmental lobby. Really global communists (Trotskyists) in disguise. Due to their successful “chicken little” propaganda campaign and their infiltration of schools, universities and the bureaucracy, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
They have a large part of the general populace completely fooled into thinking capitalism will be the death of us all.
There has not been near enough pushback on this from the forces who oppose the left, and now its almost too late. It will take tremendous effort and a long time to repair the generational damage done.
With NZ in such a parlous economic state the Fast Track Bill is probably a good short term remedy, but it is far from ideal. The long term remedy is to root out the Trotskyist infiltrators who have taken control of so much of our once free society.

The Fast Track fails to treat all New Zealanders equally and fails to provide any assurance of unbiased protection for New Zealanders likely to be affected by developments. In fact, this Bill discriminates against the majority of New Zealanders. It only requires consulting with, meeting the demands of, and giving authority to separatist, minority groups or individuals who identify as Maori.
The property rights of all New Zealanders must be respected and treated equally. It makes no different how the properties were acquired (i.e. via market purchase, inheritance or treaty settlements). There is no justification for land owned by Maori (all of blended bloodlines) to be ‘ineligible’ for fast-tracking when land belonging to all other citizens can be impacted by this legislation.

Well said. ACT and NZ First say they are strongly against this kind of thing. So either they’re too weak in their dealings with the Nats or they don’t care about it as much as they profess to.

These TPM/Labour/Green leeches overlook how Ardern and Hipkins used urgency to totally stuff New Zealand’s economy and social structure. They seem to be unable to realise their days of living off taxpayers is on the way out and it will be necessary for them to earn a real dollar to sustain themselves. It is sickening to see MSM supporting this filth and I sure hope we are no longer funding these faux journos, especially those who are also supporting Palestinian terrorists.
