Podcast appearances and mentions of Shane Jones

Today on the show... The world is walking away from the Paris Climate Agreement - should we? With just 15 out of 194 nations meeting their emissions deadlines, is this deal dead in the water? Shane Jones and others think it’s time to rethink our commitment. Are we saving the planet, or just writing blank checks to the Congo? Let’s break it down. Shane Jones is fired up, and he’s not holding back. He says NZ’s climate policies are economic lunacy, coal is here to stay, and the Paris Agreement is more religion than reality. But what’s the alternative? Can we balance pragmatism and climate action? Plus, some Letters to the Editor!

The Energy Minister says he's doing his best to improve the stability of energy supply. A new gas well at the Pohokura Production Station in Taranaki was switched on this morning. It will provide 4 petajoules of gas a year, which could power about 146,000 homes annually. Shane Jones says it won't be a silver bullet - but it will help. "So I'm working on various proposals as to how we can accelerate both money into the industry - and genuine economic ability." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we find the Matua and Prince of the Provinces in the Solomon Islands - but what is he up to? Today he's got "chocolate teapot" electricity gentailers along with the "woke" banks in his sights.

Now I'm a bit of a policy wonk. I don't care which party it is. If they come up with a policy, I like to break it down and see if it makes sense. Now I know politicians are addicted to announcements, attention and media coverage. Which means they sometimes say the first thing in their heads that sound like they'll get votes. No matter if it's deliverable or not. Labour had a bad case of it. Phil Twyford and his 100 thousand Kiwibuild fantasy. Michael Wood was the champion. Based on five minutes on the back of an envelope he announced a nearly $900 million bike bridge. Faced with backlash from Dominion Road businesses he stuck the light rail project underground. Tripling the price to an unaffordable $18 billion dollars. Now it seems like the National led coalition has a case of the same disease. Paul Goldsmith has it bad. This week he announced a change to citizen's arrest rules but had no idea of what the changes are going to be. Classic announcement of an announcement. But the king of wishful thinking is the prince of the provinces, Shane Jones. First, he proposed a special economic zone for Marsden point begging the question why not turn the whole country into a special economic zone. The whole place needs a hand. Then he proposed repairing Marsden point refinery. A fanciful idea that was shot down in hours as the enormous cost of nearly $8 billion dollars came to light. The reason why no Government has repaired the refinery ever since it was sold 40 years ago. The thing about leadership is that you need to make adult decisions and proposals. If you're a cabinet minister you can't just let the first Walter Mitty like thought bubble pop out of your mouth, when you know there's nothing there. That's the lesson Labour learnt last term. Hopefully the Government figures that out soon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Associate Energy Minister wants climate advocates to embrace the potential for fewer regulations around Marsden Point. Cabinet is planning to look into options to increase energy security this year. They could include creating special economic zones, which have reduced regulations and increased support around customs and trade. Shane Jones says it could be a significant point for energy transition, and innovation. "What are we actually going to do in New Zealand, other than try and tax cows? What are we actually going to do to enable industry, to enable investors to accelerate the pace of change?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a week, 230 New Zealanders were given confirmation Kinleith Mill was over. The Australians facing the same scenario at a place called Whyalla in South Australia did something completely different. The steel mill is owned by a British billionaire and it's in a world of financial trouble. It may well go to the wall. It employs 1000 people in a town of 22,000. So the state Government, backed by the Federal Government, has bought it. Even for a Labour Government in Australia it is an extraordinary move. But the assessment is, in a small town, you can't afford to lose that many jobs. They will look for a buyer, they will look for finance and they will look to rejig the place to solve the problem. But in the meantime, the place is open and the jobs are saved. The first question you ask, of course, is would this decision be made if it was not about a month or so out from an election, which is an election the Government who just bought the steel mill is in serious danger of losing? The precedent is also shocking. If you save one, surely you save them all? And if you don't, because you can't, the locals will, quite righty, ask why not? Also, the Government owning things in the long term has never really been a recipe for efficiency or success. As much heat as Labour got in the 1980's for selling the railways here, Helen Clark buying them back has hardly been one of life's great business decisions. In a small town though, at the pub or the dairy or the sports field, who cares? They've got jobs, the bills get paid, and the kids stay in the local school. They'll take it. Where the money came from doesn't really matter. As much as Shane Jones espouses the value of the regions, the region here still lost its mill. We still have the problem that is the price of power. It still hasn't been addressed as an issue, and we go into another winter with a mess of a system. In Australia the place is open, the jobs are saved and no one's leaving town. So, which approach is better? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand First MPs Winston Peters and Shane Jones have made another jab at Green MP Ricardo Menéndez March in Parliament - this time because he referred to the country's name as Aotearoa. Menéndez March spoke to Corin Dann.

Not everyone's happy about an apology from Takuta Ferris last night, delivered in Māori. In September, Te Pati Maori MP said describing MPs as 'masters of obscuring the truth' wasn't calling them liars. The Parliamentary Privileges Committee called that a contempt - and recommended he apologise. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Shane Jones called for a second apology in a language 'most Kiwis understand'. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A raft of changes have been proposed for the Fisheries Act - including removing public access to on-boat camera footage through the Official Information Act. Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Seafood New Zealand says new fishery proposals will keep workers safer. Public consultation is open on loosening up on extending or reducing catch limits. The reform would also restrict access to fishing vessel camera video - to officials and the courts. Seafood NZ CEO, Lisa Futschek says the public has no need to access the footage. "Unfortunately, we see some pretty bad behaviour and attitudes towards our fishers - who are bullied and verbally and sometimes physically abused."

The Resource Minister is pushing back on criticism of his party's bill, which aims to stop 'woke', environmentally informed bank service withdrawals. A Massey University banking expert says the bill doesn't account for the commercial risks of lending to groups such as mining companies. Resource Minister Shane Jones told Mike Hosking banks have to assess credit worthiness, but the current situation is problematic. He asks when it became the banks' job to ascertain the emissions problem of each cow, and how often businesses should be shut down by these luxury beliefs. Jones says Massey University banking experts are disciples of woke-ism. NZ First has faith they have the backing to support their bill if it gets pulled from the biscuit tin. Jones says they have the support in two ways. Firstly, through his ability to gut the energy settings for New Zealand's power sector, and secondly through his belief Labour has realised they went too far when it comes to climate hysteria.

It's no secret that New Zealand is confronted with numerous and problematic issues. There is a common belief that leadership is a major cause of those problems. And not just political leadership; it is widespread. There is a weakness that can only be confronted by strength of character and a determination that is in short supply. Deputy Leader of NZ First, Shane Jones provides “character” that may not please some, but is worthy of consideration by those who come up short of requirements. And, after the Mailroom with Mrs Producer, we consider a couple of those matters. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before?

A "circus" and a "cheap stunt." That's how NZ First's Shane Jones is labelling an interuption during the powhiri for politicians at Waitangi today. He even went so far as to say funding for the Waitangi National Trust could be reconsidered in future if the Waitangi National Trust doesn't tidy up the tikanga. But Ngapuhi elders are defending the day, and the Trust chair said it ran superbly. Political reporter Lillian Hanly is at Waitangi and filed this report.

"A circus". That is how NZ First's Shane Jones described the powhiri for parliamentarians at Waitangi yesterday. However, the minister has now found himself in hot water after threatening to pull the Waitangi National Trust's funding. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand First MP Shane Jones is threatening to withhold Waitangi funding, over recent actions at the commemorations. Protesters turned their backs on ACT leader David Seymour as he addressed the crowd, with some displaying messages around honouring Te Tiriti. Some took his microphone off him, and others sang as he spoke. Jones has since asked what the point of funding the Trust is - if it has not made Waitangi a more hospitable place. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says there's been debate about misbehaviour on the Waitangi grounds every year.

The Prime Minister defends the Government’s announcement of the 2035 climate target, (51-55% emissions reduction).

Mexico's ambassador met with Winston Peters at Waitangi today following last week's infamous comments made by Shane Jones. The NZ First MP made headlines after he called out 'send the Mexicans home' in Parliament. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper outlined the mood before the meeting. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister has encouraged all MPs to watch what they say after Shane Jones refused to resile from his comments about Mexican New Zealanders.

Resources Minister Shane Jones wants to double mining exports by 2035, claiming it will let the country reach three billion dollars in mineral exports by 2035.

Resources Minister Shane Jones is launching a national minerals strategy Critical Minerals' list in Waihi on Friday. Jones spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Catherine Delhunty, the former Green MP and current chair of the Coromandel Watchdog of Hauraki, thinks Resources Minister Shane Jones is being "Trumpian" ahead of releasing the government's minerals strategy and critical minerals list. Delhunty spoke to Corin Dann.

The Prime Minister says he hasn't spoken to two Cabinet ministers over recent remarks that were labelled racist and xenophobic. In the House, Shane Jones yelled 'send the Mexicans home' and Winston Peters told Green MPs they'd come with ideas 'foreign to our country' and suggested they show New Zealand some gratitude. Green Party MP Ricardo Menendez-March, who is Mexican, says the Prime Minister should call out such language. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls says Prime Minister Luxon claimed the comments 'weren't what he would say'. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Party has been quick to criticise their political rivals over recent objectionable comments in the House. NZ First's Shane Jones yelled 'send the Mexicans home' during a debate - and has since refused to apologise - while Winston Peters has also copped some backlash for claiming foreign-born MPs were trying to impose foreign ideas upon Parliament. Green MP Ricardo Menéndez March says Prime Minister Chris Luxon needs to hold these MPs to account and ensure similar incidents don't happen again. "When politicians and people in positions of power make these comments, it emboldens those people outside of Parliament to hurl racist vitriol and abuse to migrant communities."

A Green Party MP has accused some government ministers of being, quote "outwardly racist and xenophobic", and he's called on the Prime Minister and Parliament's Speaker to take action. Green Party spokesperson Ricardo Menéndez March spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Resources Minister is hitting out at banks for punishing "god-fearing regional businesses". New Zealand First's Shane Jones has told The Australian newspaper banks are imposing "woke-riddled" costs on a productive sector, by reducing services to fossil fuel businesses. Jones told Mike Hosking he has every right to fight this, despite banks struggling with things like margins and the commerce commission at the moment. He says the fossil fuel businesses are doing nothing wrong, what they're doing is offending executives' luxury beliefs. Jones says the coal industry is an “honest, legitimate industry”, and people will back electricity before they back chilliness. Winston Peters and Shane Jones aren't backing down over their comments about foreign-born Green MPs. Peters has told the MPs they have ideas "foreign to the country", and they should show some gratitude for the country. Jones referenced U.S. President Donald Trump in his jeers, yelling, “Trump! Trump! Send the Mexicans home!” Peters says MPs should go somewhere else if they're too soft for robust Parliamentary debates. Jones told Hosking "it's a Mexican stand-off".
