Here is who he truly honours: A NZ First donor wants Fast Track legislation to free up permanently protected land for quarrying. J Swap, a company involved in quarrying, wants land protected under QEII covenants to be available to quarry. It donated $11,000 to NZ First in December, after the coalition was formed. It also gave $5000 to NZ First’s Shane Jones in August 2023 and $3000 to National’s David MacLeod in September 2023. So lets put this in bulletpoints: J Swap donated $5,000 Shane Jones It also donated $3,000 to David Macleod he who forgot to declare $178,000 in electorate donations. It gave NZ First $11,000 in December last year. And you have to wonder who would give a political party a significant sum of money three months AFTER the general election. It lodges a submission saying that QEII land should be subject to the Fast Track Projects Bill. It has been involved in litigation over an extended period of time attempting to remove a QEII covenant from land its owns so that it can quarry some pristine land. If the bill is amended to cover QEII covenanted land there will be major questions to ask. And while we are on the subject of donations NZ First has received a number of significant sums of money since the election. Like these: DV Chiscolm who gave $50,000 during November. Hero Ltd who gave $50,000 on December 12. Cosgrove & Partners who gave $6,000 in December. A Krukziener (this guy?) who gave $19,999 in December. I wonder why he could not make it a round $20,000? The Houghton Family Trust who gave $10,000.69 on October 24. Garry Robertson who gave $11,750 in November. Scott Bright who gave $6,750 in December. Or how about Business NZ who gave $6,000 in December.

What resorces?..they been playing that same old broken records over and over again with no progress to those bullzhits they on about..they talk like Pakeha, but their arze is still black..

Yes, Yes we are.

It will create so much wk. NZ needs this

@@moniquebode1655 it will only create 5000 extra jobs till 2030 - we have 2’919’000 working people in NZ. We can create more than 5000 jobs without the environmental impact - Mining exports bring in 1.03 billion dollars per years - thats only 0.15% of our GDP. Shane plans to double that by 2030 - it’s insignificant and won’t improve life for 99.9% of Kiwis. Our GDP is 248.5 billion dollars.

​@@badchefi .we just shift our resourse consumption overseas it's better if we consume our own resources. It's dumb to buy foreign energy. New Zealand needs economic advancement.

@@candsoshea3566 it’s dumb to buy foreign energy? Yet you drive internal combustion engined cars and import fuel. Some even want to reopen the refinery - how about that? 48 million dollars worth of coal per year is nothing - we will be coal free over the next ten years anyway with Luxon pushing solar farms.

All. Monkey's and hyena's

Nat monkeys are just as bad

What a load of rubbish😂

​@@badchefiStarting to feel that way about the opposition. All there words have been a load of twat.

@@badchefiThat’s where the last Labour / Green coalition went 🤪! In The Rubbish Bin! Exactly Where Labour /‘Greens belong; Regards Dave McC

Act actually.

Misinformation is not Mana - what minerals are we getting from the Congo for New Zealand?

Mana, matua?? Try English and we'll all understand.

@@GaryPeters-nv8pj poor Gary, how did you manage to open KZfaq 😂you seem to be on the intellectual level of a tadpole.

​@@badchefi Why do you want to know?

@@GaryPeters-nv8pj because NZ is not getting any from the Congo - Shane is just babbling….

Nah, the last lot spoke bs but with a straight face. Good on you Shane!

Once you add first world labour costs and shipping its not that attractive countries like China and India can do it better and cheaper because of location and cheap labour.

@@bobdillon1138 I know what you mean but Australia mines a lot and their wages are very high, especially for mine workers.

@@Digmen1 They are lucky in that while they have a high wage economy most of what they mine is not as easily accessible or abundant in other countries around the world and their mines tend to be in desert areas with less environmental restrictions to add cost.

@@bobdillon1138 Yes I know all of that. But at least we can try to catch up. Or we will forever be in their shadow

​@@bobdillon1138I would say that developing a well rounded intelligent approach to all our resources and hence technology is the best coarse. Good on Shane Jones.

"Lady"? Hahahaha.

😂 🤙🏾 ✊🏾

Yes, just after Sir Winston Peters.

Why, coal's great and we have better coal than what we import from Indonesia.

Calm down petal, you'll be OK.

Hhmmm, we have us a stalker.

Grow up

Damn right, we're not blind OR one eyed like you. Enjoy all the perks and benefits of mining but 'claim' to want to go back to sticks and stones. Hypocrisy at its finest. Grow a brain.

@@schlookie your inability to grasp the cold hard numbers above show that you are the one that needs growing up. So much about the adults being in charge now right?

@@badchefi what an unintelligent comment. Grow up.

Farming, fishing and forestry hasn't done any harm?!. Southern NZ is suffering terribly from degraded rivers and estuaries. Selective moral indignation and amnesia!!!.
