I believe the the Ardern corrupt government of NZ has banned any kind of burning anywhere which has caused may rural folk to have to leave their homes

 

 

Where did you get this piece of info?

Have you got a source for this because I couldn't find anything after a quick Google. 

 

Sorry, no.. it was something I read a year or so ago when a reporter was interviewing folk in NZ who were very unhappy with what was being imposed on them.

 

A quick google tells me that I was wrong about this it seems and it's just old style coal and wood fuelled  fireplaces that the government want rid of  in favour of ' lower emitting burners '

 

Apologies, and it just goes to show that you can't always believe much that you read or hear online, I  happily would edit out that paragraph but it seems that that option is not being offered when I click on it.

I've been caught out by fear porn articles so many times... Misleading headlines from established papers as well. Clickbait...
