My notes from today’s public discusssion on climate change [40k PDF]

The long-awaited summary of Helen Clark’s January 30 speech:

Trust me I’ve been doing it for ages. Economy is going well. Achievements: Kiwisaver, Working for Families, big investments in education, health, policing, infrastructure. Sustainability! Sustainability! Things have to be built to last. In economics, environment, society and culture. We want to kick the carbon habit. Those who denied climate change look silly now (don’t vote National). NZ has to work to maintain clean green image, position ourselves for overseas ethical consumers. Balance is needed (don’t vote Green). The current social ills are due to Ruth Richardson’s 1991 Budget, and we’re working on fixing them. We’ve done lots for business, education (from early childhood up). We want to keep under-18s in school or training. We have no hidden agendas, we’re experienced, we’re stable, we work for the whole community, not just a part.

Sorry it’s a bit longer – but then, she had more to say.
