John Key I am utterly flabbergasted that you are continuing with the ETS in the knowledge that the basis for this bill has been totally repudiated, the hypothesis of the UN that human produced CO2 is responsible for global warming has been shown to be totally false and was based on contrived and manipulated data, as born out by Phil Jones’s admission on BBC radio; that all warming experienced since the early 1800’s was of natural origin. How can you continue to justify the need to impose increased costs on the citizens of this nation when the supposed reason for doing so has never existed?

For 40 years I have been a voter and observer of the political scene in this country. I remember past political manoeuvring and promises made, bills passed supposedly to enhance our nations future, but failing miserably, reforms to health, education etc, by one party being turned over by the other party, wasting billions of dollars and causing widespread disruption and chaos.

There was a hope MMP would bring some stability to government here, how misguided we were. Politics and politicians haven’t changed. Today’s politician can not remember what they said last week let alone 18mths -2years ago, what they opposed then they now embrace, what was idiotic and stupid is now desirable. They make vague promises and speak words like; equality with Australia, the need to increase productivity and make this nation into the Pacific jewel, yet all the while their actions show they are working to bring this nation to its knees. The North American Indians had a phrase for this “Paleface speak with forked tongue”
