Not that i accept it as fact. But that its even a belief, is a problem.

Yeah, 'cause producing fuck all is always a winner.

And yeah, that's a problem for anyone wanting anything at all from the "productive sector". But they don't count worth fuckall.

If the Greens are opposed to the logging of wind fallen native timber I'd be interested in finding out the reasoning for it.

Well that makes one of us.

Cheers. Still do not understand the WHY though. And that Laws fella is right in calling it madness, unless there is a valid reason for doing so.

And how many brains it has destroyed. Nasty side effects include a propensity for voting Labour or Greens or other economics insensible left wing parties

Think you are getting your HEMP and CANNABIS mixed up. Lay off the booze aye, that shit will fuck you up more than weed.

Any current TV news will do ... bloody luddites FFS!

Do not watch the news or read newspapers. I gets all me news from the interweb, cos it's truer.

How can the Greens be taken seriously when they oppose things like this?

Yup, madness when Mother Nature has decided to knock the trees down.

Sorry Pete, I couldn't see anything in that article about the Greens opposing the move.

All over tonight's news. Some "Eugeine" bird trying to fuck things up by letting trees rot.
Create jobs? - No!
Enhance the west coast economy? - No!
Myopic thinking? - Yes!

I've heard "reasons" from several representatives of the colour green. Boiled down to "because".

Basically, they oppose logging companies, and any opportunity for the loggers is anathema to anyone who sees themselves opposed to logging.

Other than that, I see nothing logical, or even coherent. Again. Which is why I find them hard to take seriously.

Edit: one of my mate's little bro made a godamn fortune tramping minimal handtools into dense bush to recover, (legally) totara etc, airlifted it out. Spent 4-5 months in the bush at a time. Still does it, just a little slower than he used to.

Thats the bit I do not get, just seems so silly to let all that timber rot when it could be boosting the economy, especially the coasts.

Doesn't make any sense to me but hey, not many of us could say we agree with every decision our preferred party espouses.

Green policy doesn't make any sense --- period!

I dont think there is any party policy that makes complete sense. They all seem to be tarred with the same brush, but for me personally, the greens I feel easier to tolerate to a certain degree.

A suspicious mind might be forgiven for wondering if the contract for logging all of this native timber might go to a company belonging to a certain Chinaman married to our Justice Minister - who also just happens to have an estimated $50 million worth of swamp Kauri ready to send off to China.

IF that was the reason then sure. But we still need to take that shit and sell it.
