New Zealand plans to put big developments before the environment. That’s dangerous - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/22/new-zealand-plans-to-put-big-developments-before-the-environment-thats-dangerous "Proposed ‘fast-track’ law could see conservation concerns ignored and projects once rejected for environmental reasons given the green light" amazing how quickly has gone downhill...

@glynmoody surely the fact they're not bipartisan means they could be a shaky investment...?

@awelder true, but then investors would sue the government etc etc

A fickle electorate is one of the prices we pay for democracy.

I'm sure there were problems, but throwing away the reputation built by Jacinda Ahern (at least, as seen from this side of the planet) doesn't seem to be a solution.

It'd be good to hear a NZ perspective here (I do note the authors are from University of Otago)

@glynmoody Can't let moderately left wing women be in charge for too long, things might actually get done.
