Lets clarify what we're talking about.
The incident in parliament, I agree with you. The incident at the florists, a man against another man, I don't think it would even be news.

They seem more like a typical ACT voter tbh, not as far gone as a MAGA type radical right.
Although there are some similarities in the bad-faith arguments between those two groups.
I wouldn't be surprised at all.
The thing that annoys me is I doubt this story would be much of anything if Julie was a man. But because she is a woman she is 'hysterical' and 'unhinged'. I have no problem with politicians being passionate about their causes, but obviously she needs to rein it in and stick to acceptable decorum.
Proceeds to excuse the behaviour.
No, I pointed out that, perhaps, the shopkeeper wasn't quite as blameless in the interaction as implied.
And I’m here to see politicians held accountable for their actions, you should ask yourself why I’m the only one posting bad news about the Greens.
By far and away the most stuff you post is negative news about the greens, not about any other party (some labour before the election IIRC). But I'm not really hear to argue about this point, I just wanted to comment about it is all. If you disagree that's fine mate.
I listened to the interview with the florist. I'm not excusing any behaviour, but the florist sounded like an entitled boomer. She started up about cycle ways, and then when Julie responded slightly irritated was all "that's what you greenies always do". It honestly sounded like the florist wanted to pick a fight.
Also, an aside to this, but you have a real hate hard on for the greens don't you?
I think our schooling style has something to do with it. I have some experience with overseas education systems, and New Zealand values teaching learning techniques and critical thinking above straight rote memory. This can lead to lower test results at earlier ages but an increased ability to learn later.
I feel this could be applied to pretty much anything that politics argues over.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
"They are coming to replace my favourite flavour" says racist Karen, standing in front of the vanilla ice cream but looking at other flavours around it.
So what this shows us is that education is complicated, and when trying to decode statistics we need a broad approach to ensure we aren't missing the forest for trees.
Almost as if these kinds of decisions shouldn't be left to politicians with no background in the field, and there should be a body of experts informing decisions...
I expect this to change. The problem is they pushed it out for light vehicles before it was ready. If it's going to work anywhere, it'll be heavy vehicles, shipping and aero.
But hell any new zero emissions tech is ok by me. Just...something other than dead rotten dinosaurs.
Look again. I'm not talking about light vehicles.
A BEV truck can weigh up to 5 tons more than a FCEV. Why would that not be a case use for hydrogen? Now scale up to a ship where volume is no issue. BEV shipping is a non-starter.
New battery tech is fantastic. But why would you assume new battery tech, currently prohibitively expensive, will come down with scale but hydrogen won't?
Fair
