@@waronwoke glad to have a civil discussion with articulate words mate. Shaw accomplished quite significant goals. In the interview itself, it shows how Shaw was consistently pragmatic, and worked well across the aisle. He was highly thought of by all parties, and had a great personal friendship with National’s Todd Muller. Together, they formed the Zero Carbon Act. Clearly a leader who worked well with others, and achieved widespread consensus.
31:52 wonderful interview, Jack asking penetrating (?) Questions and allowing James time to think through his thoughtful and honest replies. (AND as another person commented without all the usual political b.s.)
I hope the Coalition Government look at finding I job for James Shaw. He was the best leader they have ever had, a consensus politician, and although I have never voted for the Green Party, if they had more politicians like him, I would have given them my party vote in the 2023 election.
Loved this interview. I had the pleasure of meeting James, he's a great guy who has done a lot for the Greens and NZ. I look forward to seeing what he does next.
I feel mixed about James' leadership... He wasn't as radical as I or many other green supporters wanted, but then again the greens were delt a bad hand the past two terms so his pragmatism might have been the best apprach to have any influence
James Shaw will be a huge loss to parliament. Sadly there a few other MPs that combine such strong values with real competence and a preference for collaboration. The interview showed how much he has contributed during his political career.
How did James Shaw complete a Masters degree when he had never completed a Bachelors degree? Did James Shaw transparently , openly and publically address this valid question? If so ,when,IF NOT WHY NOT? Trust,honesty and transparency are core beliefs in the Green Party. Yes? Wishful thinking ,skullduggery and smudging facts ,by contrast are not core beliefs are they? Are they?
Where there is a threat to food production....Paris agreement we signed ?????? It's important to get this message out there, farming is important to NZ. ...the policies on this are not clear to NZ public imo.
I know right. They've only worked tirelessly to prevent the outbreak of global conflict, feed starving refugees, protect schools and hospitals in parts of the world that are unsafe and work to eradicate disease for the last 40 something years. Massive joke. Bet you could do better.
James needs to be in the National government. He is a politician who genuinely believes in his passion. The green party is finished and should be. James is far better off without the stupid greens.
As a lifelong Act voter I could confidently pretend that I could vote Greens (I wasn't) with James Shaw in charge, but now that they've gone woke the greens have lost my vote, it's sad because they were definitely not woke in the past
Im glad hes gone , he was the only likeable and relatable candidate in the greens lineup , anything that weakens the greens position is a good thing , i hate the greens and everything they stand for but for some reason always thought this guys was OK , i wish him all the best
@@benmunckhof-swain4493 i think they are liars and dont have a clue , they bang on about climate change which we have an almost immeasurable 0.09% contribution to greenhouse gas yet want NZ to be penalised and pay the highest price , if climate change is real we just need to prepare for it as all the biggest emmiters arent even on board , also they bang on about landlords rather than fixing the cause of the housing shortage , i also think they are big promoters of hate speech
While Bachelors straight to Masters in a similar field is a common pathway, it's far from the only pathway. And specific entry requirements vary significantly from one uni to the next. Even moreso at a postgrad level, where the numbers are much lower and things are more likely to be dealt with on an individual case-by-case basis.

Hey James and Jack, always a treat tuning into Q & A! But I've got to poke a bit of fun here-how come we only hear one side of the environmental debate? I'm all for being green (though not quite sold on the whole man-made CO2 saga), but let's talk about the real eco-villains: the tons of waste from making our beloved 'green' tech like solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines. There’s so much mining involved, it’s like a treasure hunt gone wrong! And oh, the plastic saga-my favorite! We've got plastic rubbish bags, paper bags lined with plastic, and now this new star on the block: 'biodegradable plastic.' If it's so biodegradable, why does it stick around longer than the embarrassing photos from my high school prom? Now, for a splash of cold, hard data-did you know that in the last 600 million years, the average CO2 level was about 2,600 ppm? That’s nearly seven times what we're panicking over today. And our quaint Quaternary period? It's seen the lowest CO2 levels, averaging around 230 ppm over the last 800,000 years, peaking at about 300 ppm some 320,000 years ago. Jumping up by 300 ppm could actually boost plant growth by about 46% across various crops. Makes you wonder if we’re missing the forest for the trees, huh? While we're getting tangled in debates over CO2 and methane, with their levels doing the cha-cha across millennia, let’s not forget the simple stuff. Like why native trees are the bee's knees for sustainable building compared to those quick-fix pines, or how farmers are quietly being eco-warriors by planting flax and shrubs along waterways. Seriously, these guys are the unsung heroes of the green movement! So, any current readings on CO2, or is that like trying to pin the tail on the donkey at a kids' party? Here’s to more robust, dirt-under-the-fingernails environmental chats on the show. Keep it up, lads, and maybe throw in a word or two for those everyday eco-champions out there! Cheers!
Honestly, at this stage you've got to be a real idiot to not accept Man made Climate Change, . Even Big Oil have admitted it's real and they put a lot of time and money into burying it for decades. Go visit any of their websites- I'll wait. For you to be willfully ignorant on that single fact, Kinda makes me feel your whole argument isn't rooted in reality. The irony about Conspiral thinkers calling others Sheep is the fact that I see the same tired unproven arguments every time anything Climate related is brought up. A mark of intelligence is to be able to reassess ones opinions in the face of new evidence and admit you were wrong, Please consider getting with the program.
Farmers will be most likely to move more strongly towards James's climate targets if the agricultural markets want this. The issue is that the biggest voices on the climate thing so far have been idealogues like James and unhinged activists like Chloe. People like this don't come across as people that you can take seriously to build an economic model that will last long-term. Farmers and business won't give them any credibility. Meeting markets on the other hand is normal for business so they will definitely do that. James and Chloe and others are trying to beat farmers and business into submission: no one is going to listen to an oppressor. Change will come if markets change, not if activists throw more abuse. James and his friends ideas for change all involve force.
Methane levels in our air are minimal and their origin is not NZ. More methane escaped from the nord stream pipeline attack emmitted more methane than NZs cows would emit in 10years.. We need chemists involved in identifying the source of maximum emmission instead of minor emmitters. If you dont monitor methane in the air you cannot make assumptions about its potential increasing impact. The planet is warmed when infrared is turned into radiante energy when it comes in contact with absorbing {usually dark} objects. Its why black sand is hot and white sand is not. Snow and water reflect it and eyewear to block the reflect light are needed. I look and these new subdivisions to house our gowing population..... They are all black roofed. These are real measurable local impacts..... Not hypothetical methane bullshit. If you want to know where the heat is coming from..... Get a IR thermometer and start aiming and be alarmed
I met James at Mystery Creek and asked him if he was prepared to debate his alarmist views on climate change. He said not against a denier. My question to James and Jack is are you prepared to debate the issues of climate change?
If you are a climate change denier then there's no debate that would be valuable. Climate change is scientifically proven to be happening and has been exacerbated by modern civilisation. This is fact. The debate at this point should be around how we address climate change and NZs role in that (which i think is valuable)
