âThis Bill strips away public participation, concentrates decision-making in the hands of Ministers, and weakens independent oversight. Itâs a massive step away from democracy, and a step towards more environmental damage done behind closed doors.â

âDark day for New Zealandâ: outcry as bill to fast-track controversial mining projects is approved
Critics and opposition parties vow to oppose major projects they fear could damage the environment #NZPol #NZ #Aotearoa #FastTrackBill #Environment
Govt has announced a bunch of changes to the Fast Track bill in response to the protests. The pressure is working!
But the bill remains fundamentally anti-environment, still excludes public participation ... and there are nineteen new mining projects in the pipeline!
Greenpeace says changes to the Fast Track Bill announced today are a wolf in sheepâs clothing, but show that the Government is feeling the heat and public pressure is working.
Both parts of this petition are worth fighting for: donât fast-track a mining operation close to Pupu Springs, and restrict the (awful) Fast Track Bill so that at least it canât end-run around existing Water Conservation Orders. #NewZealand #FastTrackBill #politics

Siren Gold Mining has been invited to fast track an application to mine in the Golden Bay - if it goes ahead the crystal-clear waters of Te Waikoropupƫ could be lost forever. Join me in signing to save the springs from the fast tracked gold mine!

At the weekend we saw over 20,000 people from all walks of life demonstrating that they do not want this bill to be passed. The hubris and nonchalant attitude towards our people and the environment is breathtaking.
Friday night just hanging out with my girls, listening to music, and painting protest signs.
We'll be live streaming from the March for Nature tomorrow at https://greenpeace.nz/live
Tune in if you can't make it to the march!
