New Zealanders pride ourselves on being honest brokers in our export economy we trade fairly- and we still use "Pure NZ" as a key export slogan. But the reality is that we are not playing by the climate trade rules we signed & we expect our EU partners to follow too www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

today's legal complaint against NZ for breach of climate rules under EU trade agreement is a high-stakes case. NZ's Coalition govt is predictably using nationalism (foreigners can't tell us what to do) to divert attention from NZ not being fair in trade www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz/2026/09/30/n...

Data analytics company loses on 22 out of 23 counts in lawsuit disputing how Swiss government rejected firm’s services The US technology company Palantir has lost a legal challenge to force a Swiss independent magazine to publish its responses to articles about how the Swiss government rejected its services. The data analytics company lost on 22 out of 23 counts of the suit.

How do you turn people off the green transition and deliver them to the far right? Through #ClimateAuthoritarianism. The government seeks to coerce, not to persuade.
