Government Officials should not have withheld a key document behind the Luxon government's decision to proceed with a "divisive" LNG terminal, the chief ombudsman has ruled. rnz.co.nz/news/political/999…

Glad we were able to bring this to light and the publicity was too much for the miner who quit the permit. Agree that an exploration permit should have never been issued in the world heritage area.
Good news: “West Coast mine application on #UNESCO heritage site withdrawn”. Never, ever, should mining be in globally recognised conservation area. If it did, #NZ could well lose that status for the affected area. And conservationists shouldn’t be abused: rnz.co.nz/news/political/593…

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

So Chris Bishop @cjsbishop and Shane Jones @mangonui08 had to choose between a wind farm that would supply masses of cheap renewable power for NZ, or a seabed mining project that would destroy the sea floor and send profits to Oz, and they chose the mine thepost.co.nz/business/35044…

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.

This is what the #ClimateCrisis looks like. It’s caused by industrial emissions from fossil fuels and intensive meat and dairy, and yet the Govt continually fails to do anything about it. #nzpol

Kudos to my colleague Francisco Hernandez for uncovering the huge hypocrisy happening in the Ministry of Regulations. Public servants deserve good pay and conditions, but the Govt is cutting thousands of jobs while giving a its pet ministries big salaries rnz.co.nz/news/political/525…

The Govt quietly set new child poverty reduction targets that will see 17,000 more children in material hardship and overall poverty reduction weakened. They were hoping no one would notice. Poverty is a political choice. Liveable incomes now! stuff.co.nz/politics/3503551…
