Labour has voted down the GreensNZ member's bill to end mining on conservation land & keep coal in the ground.

In a climate emergency.

The only thing you can count on the Labour Party is being utterly disappointing.

This was just another campaign promise they broke.

Funny how when they promise no CGT or No Wealth Tax, they manage to keep those.

Labour are just Tories with another name.

@pezmico also, a reminder that 6ish years ago Labour campaigned on "No to the TPPA" but then signed up & ratified it within days of forming the gov't. Apparently David Parker drove that (following hot on the heels of Todd McClay and Tim Groser before him). For whose benefit, I wonder? Certainly not that of NZers. Tim G got a big fat diplomatic posting out of it (to NYC)... all 3 are traitors to NZers, selling us all out to multinationals (see https://davelane.nz/tppa-select-committee-redux-2018-edition).

@pezmico that betrayal ensures I'll never vote Labour. And I'll never vote National because they suspended democracy in Canterbury to lock us in to the entirely unsustainable big-Ag Cant'y Plains Water Scheme, where some of the Nat'l-appointed 'administrators' of the autocratic council held shares in the CPWS company *at the time*. Corruption, plain & simple, and personal profit over people & planet.
