The Coalition of Destruction is completely out of touch, pushing for more coral to be trashed without consequences while people around New Zealand want to see more protection and the end of bottom trawling. 🌊 🪸

We have the numbers to prove it. 🤓

This govt created the fast track process to bypass democratic input and environmental oversight.

Now they're fast tracking the fast track to bypass even their own weakened process.

That alone should give you a clue of how utterly shit this LNG idea is.

They pulled the bar to the floor and they know that is still not low enough for this lunacy to clear it.

The current NZ government sure loves the delicious taste of those fascist boots.

Biodiversity “standing in the way” of growth - The same headline everywhere...

"Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick ", George Monbiot

"The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers... But if you listen only to “leading CEOs”, you ensure the country becomes hospitable to capital but inhospitable to wildlife and people. As the war on nature proceeds, ministers sound ever more like Donald Trump...Irreplaceble ecosystems will be sold for cash."

Marking 2 years of the government coalition's #WarOnNature, Greenpeace has released a comprehensive timeline documenting their environmental actions (I'd even say crimes).

It is quite staggering!
Pour a cuppa, brace yourself and have a look at a timeline of the most anti nature government in New Zealand's living memory:

Another day, another example of regulatory capture in the NZ government.

"[...] New Zealand would be the only country in the world to weaken an emissions target entrenched in law – “this may be a dubious first for New Zealand”. Not one to hang proudly on the wall alongside women’s suffrage."

🤦

On the seemingly endless #WarOnNature that the Luxon government is waging, polluters would need to be paid if communities require them to stop damaging their water, air and soil.

They are now aiming to make this a part of the RMA reform.

Sounds like exactly the opposite of what should happen, right?

Read more about it, and get ready to stop it together!
