The miner surrendered his permit after all the publicity. #GreenWin
Too revolting
Imagine the son-in-law of the US President presenting a ‘vision and plan’ for a shiny city with resorts on the ruins of Auschwitz or Theresienstatd where dozens of my mother’s family and tens of thousands of others were slaughtered. And from which he will personally benefit. Repulsive, inhuman & rapacious doesn’t even begin to describe what they are proposing

Regarding the All Blacks South Africa game. I blame the government. #rugbychampionship2025 #onetermgovernment
Israel is a tyrant expansionist terrorist state backed by US, UK and Germany. These 4 form an axis of evil sewing hell and chaos in the Middle East. It is European colonial imperialism which is always genocidal. No nation backing this axis is on the right side of history.
Most of the big mining companies are Aussie - including Taranaki seabed miner TTR - set to take the lions share of value and leave us with the acid mine drainage, cyanide laden tailings dams, destroyed seabed and extinct wildlife. We can’t mine our way to a liveable planet.
New Zealand... first? If Shane Jones gets his way and expands mining in New Zealand, what proportion of the industry's profits will stay in the country?

The @chrisluxonmp government is hell-bent on climate and nature destruction. Undoing the oil + gas ban is a futile effort. We fought to kick those drillers out before and we'll do it again.
Political uncertainty is poison for the industry. Greens will reinstate the ban. #nzpol
Coalition of coal.
Coalition of cancer.
Coalition of climate catastrophe.

COALition of Cancer... #nzpol
It certainly isn't putting NZ First to offer up our precious conservation land and seabed to Aussie miners who will repatriate the spoils and leave us with the ruins of nature. #stopFastrackDestruction #nzpol
"There is little doubt the projects envisioned by this fast-track legislation will be, by & large, carried out by international corporates, the main objectives of which are to maximise returns to shareholders, precious few of which will be New Zealanders." odt.co.nz/opinion/alarm-bell…
UK parliament has just banned live animal exports and Australia committed to ending live sheep exports this week as the retrograde @chrisluxonmp government plans to reinstate the cruel trade #nzpol barrons.com/news/uk-law-to-b…
In acknowledgement of the 142 Palestinian journalists killed by Israel here is a strong article from @Jonathan_K_Cook: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…. The absence of any single mainstream journalist was notable at the World Press Day Palestine rally in Auckland yesterday. #nzpol

Luxon's so-called "gold standard" live animal exports is gilded cruelty. NZ farmers are calling it out too - see the SPCA media release here...

Robyn has always been a proud defender of people and planet...
“I don’t know how you can be a Kiwi and not be an environmentalist. It staggers me when people aren’t, because this country has been so beautiful and we’re watching it fall apart,” Robyn Malcolm says.

It blows my mind that @radionz and other NZ media still report the genocide as if it was a war. It is not a war. It NEVER was. It is and always has been a bald-faced highly intentional strategy to utterly demolish Gaza and harm, injure and kill as many Palestinians as possible.
