CW: Santana Bendigo mine fast-track / Shane Jones is a wanker
The Minister of Environmental Destruction Shane Jones doesn't like critics. After several prominent Otago people opposed Santana's fast track to Hades, Jones offered to debate Ian Taylor in public.
The gauntlet was thrown and Taylor agreed. The debate was scheduled for April 8th at Taylor's studios and would be streamed by the ODT and Stuff.
Today Jones pulled out of the deal, saying he would not take part in any debate ‘"controlled by the Otago media".
Since when has Stuff been an Otago media company?
Santana plans a cyanide-leach gold operation storing arsenic-bearing tailings in a dam located in a seismically active region at the headwaters of major water systems.
It's a project which would never be approved under 'normal' conditions and Jones has realised that he'll lose any public debate with Taylor. So the blowhard Minister is running away.
This reminds me of the time Shane Jones got caught charging hotel porn to his ministerial expenses. The guy's been an utter wanker for decades.
Taylor says the debate will go ahead anyway using a cardboard cut-out of Jones.

The fast-track bill has 149 projects on it... some good, of course, but some... definitely not good. Not good in the slightest.

Still trying to get my head around Shane Jones saying "I don't believe anything our government is doing is delegitimizing a personal choice many people make to be Māori."
So being Māori is a choice? And if you suffer negative consequences as a result of that "choice"... whose fault is that?
It almost seems from this and other things Shane Jones has said, that his view of being Māori is like that widespread secular attitude toward being a Christian: ok as long as you keep it private.

Mihingarangi Forbes is a legend. Shane Jones huffs and puffs and blows up a huge bubble of talking points, and Mihi just quietly and politely sticks in a pin in it every time:
