I feel regional councils are going to be important in the coming decades re: climate and unfortunately that’s probably why they’re being scrapped. The united right are on a mission to gather power under the executive and authority by local government stands in opposition to that.
Great article. I’m so sorry to hear about your house and your friend 😓
I’m in the Wairarapa, and Greater Wellington Regional Council is doing great work to try and future proof the region.
Unfortunately there are climate change deniers that make it difficult.
And now the government wants to scrap regional councils. It’s pretty fucking obvious that climate change is real. How much evidence do they need??
I feel like the earth and human race is going to end up like Mad Max. I better buy a V8 Interceptor… and maybe a few guns, and a leather outfit….

Absolutely. I know GWRC are pushing back. I hope the other regional councils are doing the same.
