The Extra Taxation System, GST and ETS, is hurting us, so I would seek an investigation into lowering the transmission costs associated with council−owned lines companies, to help people afford to keep warm.
Government−owned subsidiaries also need to reduce the unit price of electricity. Our health and finances are under threat from the government policy response to climate change, with little prospect of success.
A better plan for us and the planet would be to learn from financial policy made during The Great Depression; refer to my website www.peterwakeman.org: State Housing in NZ, page 6. Saving our planet must be financially viable, working with Nature to take action, if it's not already too late.
My experience with health suggests the government seems to favour medication over medical devices that can increase blood flow by 60%− 70%, without tablets.
I stand against the lack of regulation protecting our water supplies from contamination.
