Greenwashing is the enemy of progress on climate and where you stand on greenwashing is the Rubicon of our times - Russel Norman

Greenwashing is when businesses or politicians give a false impression that their products or policies have a positive impact on the environment when in reality, they don’t.

It’s very effective, and it’s dangerous.

It’s dangerous because when the Government sells its policies as climate action - when in reality they are not - it misleads the wider public and the climate movement.

People can think they don’t need to push hard on climate because it is under control when it is not.

- Russel Norman

  Fact Check Youth Unemployment

  At their annual conference National’s leader Christopher Luxon is reported as stating .

  "To young people who don't want to work: You might have a free ride under Labour, but under National, it ends."

  Putting aside for a moment the inference that all young unemployed people are lazy, a quick look at the Statistics NZ site reveals :

  (a) The youth unemployment rate has actually dropped.

  While the Youth unemployment rate is 9.2% (and we certainly need to continue to address that issue) the rate actually went up to 18.4% shortly after John Key took office as Prime Minister, stayed high during National’s term of office and only dropped down to 9.2% after a Labour led coalition took office in 2017.

  (b) Youth are a traditional source of seasonal labour. Their labour force participation rate tends to increase in the December and March quarters, during summer holidays, and dip in the June and September quarters as more young people engage in study.

  In other words a lot of young people are working seasonally and trying to pay for their education.

  (c) A glance at the ethnicity figures tells you it is Young Māori and Pacific people who have consistently had higher unemployment rates than young Pakiha. In the September 2021 quarter, the youth unemployment rates (not seasonally adjusted) were 7.8 percent for NZ European, 15.5 percent for Māori, 11.2 percent for Pacific, and 9.6 percent for Asian groups.

  We know that Maori and Pacific peoples are more affected by poverty issues than any other group and that racism is another factor in unemployment statistics that some politicians would rather we did not talk about.

  (d) Over 6000 young people are involved in caregiving – they are not lazy

  (e) Lastly it is the 25-60 age group that tend to be longer unemployed than the 15-24 year olds While Luxon’s suggestion of offering people who are under 25 and on a benefit for three months or more a dedicated job coach to help them find a job may have some merit ( on the basis that any help is always a good thing) it might be better placed with the 25-60 year old longer term unemployed .

  Policies that snipe rather than tackle the source of most of our social issues - inequality and poverty - don't impress me.

  How about you?

Thank you for providing some balance. Christopher Luxon is going for the low hanging fruit and using it to stir up the reactionary elements in our society. Lazy politics

The same base he is appealing to also prefer when unemployment is a bit higher to keep wages “competitive”

Gillian Parnham good point, I recall my father talking about the USA economy and how they liked a certain % unemployed to influence wage prices. I guess it depends on if your an employee or an employer, one wants higher wages, one wants higher profits....

Sadly young Maori and Pasifika are much more likely to be unfairly and at times illegally excluded from school, if they have problems they are less likely to receive support and more likely to receive discipline, I've seen this happen many times. Keeping and supporting youth in education is key to success rather than yet more punitive measures trampling on already vulnerable young people.

Kia ora Christopher Luxon. I hear you’re interested in people “who don’t want to work” and getting tough on “free rides.” May I introduce you to the untaxed capital gains of land bankers?

Roger Wale It’s what they’ve always done.
If the gangs of NZ disbanded tomorrow, the National Party would have to conjure up some imaginary ones, “get tough” on them, and make their voter base feel represented and whole again.
