Sneaky stuff. I was wondering what had happened to this election promise. Another broken election promise from the Labour Party. This year those receiving the winter warmth energy payment are being short changed by 2 months. How sneaky of this government to reduce the amount of payments for 2018 so quietly. On the Labour Party website it says very clearly that this winter energy payment is from May to September. The Labour Party have definitely broken their election promise - why? I reckon it is because they do not have enough money in the kitty to pay for all the freebies - especially the free tertiary education and looking after the homeless at the expense of the pensioners who will miss out. Where is Winston? Why is he not mouthing off about this. He is supposed to be the pensioners' champion. The following is from the Labour party website. They have not acknowledged their broken promise on their website. "Labour will: Introduce a Winter Energy Payment for people receiving superannuation or a main benefit. This will be $450 a year for a single person and $700 a year for a couple or a person with dependent children, paid in monthly payments from May to September. For a retired couple or parent, this will mean they receive an extra $140 a month on top of their superannuation or benefit payments during winter. As with general superannuation and benefit payments, the Winter Energy Payment will not be limited to a specific class of expenditure. This will give families flexibility to use it to best suit their personal circumstances, which could be keeping the heater on longer, installing new heating, or investing in draught-stopping and insulation. Take-up is projected to be 80 per cent, in line with take-up of the Independent Earners Tax Credit. WINZ will automatically add the payment to main benefits. The annual cost will be $374m. These payments will enable around a million people to better keep themselves warm and healthy in winter. Along with Labour’s Healthy Homes Guarantee and heating and insulation grants, this initiative will keep people healthy, reduce hospital admissions, and save lives." https://www.labour.org.nz/w...

And Winston is saying "After 9 years of neglect this is all National's fault".
P.S. I think you missed a zero off the number of trees.

Yes, I was going to point this out, but decided to first check if anybody else had.
that little missing "0" is one hell of a lot of trees.
900 million, to be exact.
Or to be even more emphatic - -90% of the promised trees.
