Luxon on Maureen Pugh

[C_T_Russell]

As a result of the past couple of weather events it will have become crystal clear to Luxon that this years election will be won or lost on climate change policy. The last thing any political party needs is a CC denier to upset their electioneering narrative.

When it comes to this election climate change is well down the list of what people will consider when voting - it isn't even in the top 5.

Climate change is a big decision on who I vote for this election.
Its not even about denial, but rather how we deal with it.
NZ cant do anything to stop or slow it down, at best we can hold it back about a month if we stopped burning petrol overnight.
I will vote on a party that focuses on mitigation, such as stop banks, sea walls, flood protection, drainage rather than one that wants to get rid of farmers or petrolheads.
