Ok, so it's not exactly new news. But if there was ever anyone willing to tell it like it is, it's Rod Donald telling the American audience what a disaster Iraq was just about the time when Bush was declaring "Mission Accomplished". For the Greens, the entire tape is priceless.
The YouTube description: New Zealand Green Parliamentarian Rod Donald visits Southern California in 2003 and does this TV interview on Adelphia Cable's "The Week in Review". Donald explains to an American audience how MMP works (mixed member proportional representation), and offers a Green perspective on U.S. foreign policy. |

 New moves by Auckland authorities to address climate change have been welcomed by Green Party Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons.
Today the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) announced extra buses and trains to and from the Bledisloe Cup match this Saturday, and yesterday Auckland City Council's (ACC’s) urban strategy and governance committee recommended the council adopt a plan of action for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“These small and tentative moves have potential to lead to bigger outcomes,” Ms Fitzsimons says. “If the ARTA, as a promotional exercise, can provide the use of more trains and buses at relatively cheap fares at rush hours to and from a Wallabies-All Blacks rugby game it will give commuters a taste of what could be done during week-day rush hours too.” |

Extreme weather events like this week’s storms in the North come as a tragic and often terrifying blow to the people and communities affected, and they underline the pressing need for global action on climate change solutions,” Green Party Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons says.
“While no one can say any particular storm is due to climate change, the increased frequency and intensity of storms, floods and droughts is consistent with what the climate change models predict,” Ms Fitzsimons says.
“We are now having these sort of ‘once every 150 years’ or ‘once every century’ events on an almost annual basis. I experienced the storms first hand at home in the Coromandel this week and saw the havoc that nature can unleash. To think this power may intensify over coming decades is a pretty worrying prospect. |
