"Let the permanence of land remain intact, let water abound."

Gordon Campbell (editor, Werewolf)

““There’s nothing “tough” about a government using its numbers in Parliament to bulldoze aside the public’s social and environmental concerns. That’s being “tough” only in the sense of saying “tough shit” to what the public thinks about it.”

Comment on Chris Bishop’s (Minister for Infrastructure, National) public defence of the Fast Track Legislation; “we are a government that does not shy away from those tough decisions”.

Quote from: The Coalition’s Fast-tracked Speed Dates With Property Developers, story written by Gordon Campbell (editor, Werewolf), published online October 7 2024.
