 dual governance has been ruled out apparently - conveniently not mentioned above. and as I mentioned earlier, there are good reasons to implement, or at least consider, some of the ideas...

Why would you think that the results of what was essentially a spitballing session, is going to be implemented in its entirety?

It's just fear mongering - but feel free to provide a link to a more balanced analysis of it?
  

Because some of that "spitballing" is being implemented.  All of a sudden it doesn't look like spitballing.  Also the report was very quietly buried until a journalist dug it up.  The government say this was because we poor taxpayers and voters might have gotten confused - we evidently arent too bright in their eyes.  Of course the fact they have taken several aspects of this report and made it policy may have muddied the waters a bit.  Because now the "discussion paper" IS starting to look like government policy.   Policy that they did not campaign on. 

yep just a big old CT.  It is true that there are some members of NZ society that " arent too bright " and will pick up on anything the government does and twist it around into a big ol' conspiracy... We saw that a month or two ago...  No doubt this will bring out some more, or the same ones...

It really is not surprising that some stuff is being implemented (perhaps you could enlighten me what) as there appear to be some good ideas in there...  But the authors themselves have suggested the purpose was to just develop ideas and a possible timeline, but knowing that some of it may be difficult or impossible to implement,  Governments of all forms do this all the time, it is simply evaluating all possible scenarios, but nothing is set in stone.  Don't know what all the hu ha is about...

 Not sure it really matters that they never campaigned on it, with such a long timeframe there is plenty of time for discussion...
