James Shaw lied, and NIWA say Gabrielle is not due to climate change

No. 'They' wouldn't. Because it isn't the truth.

While we are on the subject, please tell us who, in your opinion, is qualified in the area they are supposed to be representing as a political leader. You might start by looking at finance, or education, or or the environment...

Seems to me health is the only area where our leaders have any acquaintance with at all!

As for James,  he did at least attend a university, even if he didn't complete. Tell us, did you?

Qualifications mean nothing if they are not in an area that is beneficial.

Experience is more important, and out of anyone standing, Winston has the most experience, he is a veteran and his members are well qualified.
ACT has a good bunch of well qualified people too.
Its been very hard for me to choose who to vote between both NZF and ACT, but NZF wins for me, especially when it comes to immigration.
But NZF/ACT and to some extent national, have alot of things in common when it comes to farming, climate change and co-governance.

You surely have to admit that it is odd that Shaw tried to claim he had a BA from Victoria when he never completed it? He's updated his Linkedin profile now to acknowledge that he never completed the degree, however it previously quite unequivocally stated that he had been awarded the degree.

It is also perfectly logical to question how he managed to be accepted into the masters programme he completed at the University of Bath.  Given that entrance required a 2:1 Honours degree, and he hadn't even achieved a basic non-honours bachelors degree, he either received some sort of special dispensation, or else he lied on his application and submitted a fraudulent academic record.  The fact that he's ignored all questioning on the matter, and refuses to explain how he was able to do the masters without satisfying the entrance requirements, suggests that he isn't proud of how he managed to get accepted, i.e. it suggests the fraud/deceit explanation. 

His lying on Linkedin re. the BA and his not satisfying the standard entrance requirements for the MA is objective fact.  So there being zero mention in the mainstream media is extremely odd.  The surmisation regarding why he won't explain the MA acceptance anomalies is just my "reckon", so I'd be interested if anyone can come up with a more logical explanation.

Well said
