ACE secretary Phil Saxby said the group is calling for a Government-backed hui on climate change to take place by 2022. “The current representative system of government handles a lot of issues very well, but climate change is one of those issues beyond them. “Some problems are so big, democratic governments struggle to make the tough and unpopular decisions. “There can be this built-in resistance to change. We hesitate, we discuss, we form committees. But we don’t take action when it’s needed.”

Jacinda Ardern and James Shaw on what the Government will do about the Climate Change Commission s draft plan for slashing New Zealand s emissions.
dimorphic continuum is mashed into a
binary categorisation. Some pretty shitty treatment of people who might not be close to one of the poles, when only transwomen are supposed to be treated shittily.
The earth has two geographic poles. But almost nobody is at the north pole or the south pole .

By all means talk about the fairness with Semenya. I haven t looked at her situation closely so would be interested to hear ideas on how it can be resolved.

Otherwise as far as I can see the argument is that some males should be allowed to compete against any and all females, irrespective of fairness to women. Understandably, a lot of women aren t too happy about that.

“The Commission aspires to ‘drive climate
action in Aotearoa’ but this can only be done through
public consent,” says Phil Saxby. “While there was
cross-party support for the idea of a Climate Change
Commission (which the UK has had since 2008), that does not
necessarily translate into public support for effective
climate action.”

Rod Carr, will be presenting plans on 1 February 2021 for
meeting, in stages, the Zero Carbon Act goals of Zero net
