Keep going Shane, we need to use what we have in NZ with less bureaucracy.

[@grizzz6884]

do you know about the hidden gold in every mining hand out that shane will not talk about . the iron sands are full of minerals that shane will not talk about

[@DownUnderWarboss]

Ill be voting for Shane when he takes over leadership

[@grantkeeble]

Go Shane Jones.. Bringing common sense to politics in NZ... !!

[@dennisconnors4868]

Go for it shane

[@Sequoia690]

About time!!..this country is in trouble and yet we sit on a goldmine of resources! Time to get on and own and develop the resources we have inherited!! Go Shane Jones!!

[@renderdogstudios]

Yes! Shane Jones has a common sense approach to developing our minerals. Let's also put a portion of the royalties into the New Zealand Superfund , which will benefit every Kiwi.

[@grizzz6884]

lets hope . remember the new zealand party , which sir bob jones started , to split the nats , to bring sir roder douglas to power to sell of all muldoons hard work . wintson was there , look it up its not hidden

[@robertmccabe8632]

Look up the kiwi saver parameters in the state pension act. When the state contribution for the state pension (trust capital) drops below (certain figure); then, the gvt gets to "steal" the capital (@56 billion) from the state pension fund (trust fund).

[@brentwalsh786]

Parliament should be the highest court in the land, not quangos, not tribunals. Human rights protect the individual against the state not minority groups. Go Shane.

[@jamesblewman]

Given our resources NZ should aim to be self sufficient and eventually a net exporter of energy.

[@andrewoh1663]

Excellent! We're behind you Shane!

[@mattthesparky]

insightful words there from Shane Jones. he seems to be the only politician who understands that the world is becoming more unstable and reshoring the supply of critical materials is paramount.

[@sonpollo8995]

Thank goodness NZFirst are in government…the only political party that wants to grow the economy

[@gn7344]

ACT also want to grow the economy, very much.

[@kaydring2630]

Luxon was Jacinda’s finance adviser they set up an advisory board… what is really going on?

[@Anony_mouse2]

The sheep are getting fleeced!

[@MrMigido]

Switcheroo. Selling minerals and at the same time locking kiwi equity to US securities commission/Vatican. We are a corporation being asset stripped? Inalienable rights are being put to extinction.

[@grizzz6884]

nailed it

[@ronaldwarren1267]

The netball player on tv1,has done herself no favors with the face scribble imo

[@Ronny.81]

Luxon is a yes man , he’s no good has done absolutely nothing so far

[@Ronny.81]

There’s no point importing minerals when we have them on our doorstep!

[@JamesClark-cg1qk]

What a sickly narrator that Greenpeace campaigner is on the add, he sounds so conceited.

[@ronaldwarren1267]

How did she get 25million, while we all suffer, how!!

[@tonywalker3113]

With this sort of debt,which is huge for the size our our country,we have to act now !.not after the hui,which will result in nothing happening, act now ! As another great world leader said,,, Drill Baby Drill !.😎👍

Trump is God.

[@auintogold4725]

Democracy or wokemocracy

[@Ginlah]

Its the clean up from mining that matters. The US is littered with so many abandoned toxic towns. The environmental poisoning is ongoing after mining ends. Are there laws for clean up in NZ? Probably not, that's just an externality the public has to reckon with.

[@tasheathercollier2628]

God has provided all the natural resources that we as people, created in His Image and Likeness, may use in order to benefit not only ourselves, but also others throughout the world who may have " need" of these in order to survive. As a result of our Father Adam falling into sin, the whole of God's creation has also fallen hence the reason why we now have to shed blood, sweat, and even tears in order to reach these resources and use them as GOD has ordained. God Bless Shane Jones ----= go for it Shane, whether you believe it or not, you are a person whom God has given HIS vision and understanding with regards this challenge. One day everything will " go up in smoke" as God has decreed that the current heavens and earth as we see and know it will literally " go up in smoke " to be replaced with a new heavens and a new earth. Again, in the mean time, God has given us HIS approval to do all we can to mange and use all these resources as you have stated ie in order that we as a nation and as a people might benefit and live, and at the same time use any " overflow" to benefit others around the world who might have a need that we can supply to them. Tas Collier

[@Anony_mouse2]

And if we don't use them...the 'aliens' will!

[@gn7344]

Get your religious nonsense off here!

[@lazydaisee3997]

Impossible to have a fair and balanced position on mining unless the full position is laid out. -What is the expected tax and royalties? -What is the expected damage and cleanup cost? I agree that this needs to include a 'modifier' to assess the impact of importing minerals etc. Some projects might be great but others not so much...but we NEVER get the full picture. For the record an uncle of mine from Australia was one of the first to seek rights to mine ore sands in the Taranaki region, he was rejected and I can tell you he didn't give a **** about the environmental impact.

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

He's always given me the creeps.

[@badchefi]

Shane Jones has a conflict of interest being in the fast track committee - Stan Semenoff a mate and donor. David MacLeod was kicked off the fast track committee for not declaring his donations. His conflict of interest was Phil Brown - a shareholder of a seabed mining company and donor. Shane Jones has no place in the committee just like David MacLeod. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see where the 178’000 dollars David never declared ended up? I guess most was donations funnelled through to National HQ? The whole thing stinks like Shane’s lean Kina’s from the barren.

[@user-wt4ie6iu6p]

@badchefi: Exactly...hes the Minister for Resources and the Minister of Fisheries, and both industries are at odds as to how they go about their business without affecting one another. Conflict of interest....damn right it is bro...

[@user-wt4ie6iu6p]

The only fast track Jones is on is the fast track out of parliament... Keep going Shane, it couldn't happen fast enough....

[@Ronny.81]

Na your talking about chippy or swarbrick 😅😅

[@user-wt4ie6iu6p]

@@Ronny.81 No, I was crystal clear about who I was talking about...
