Wow. The Fast Track Bill should go in the bin because it’s DESIGNED to shortcut critical environmental protections, and it undermines democracy and te Tiriti. But at the very least, Shane Jones shouldn’t be anywhere near it! #nzpol

Climate strategy 'as useful as teats on a bull', Greenpeace sayswww.rnz.co.nz Climate scientists and researchers are highly critical, pointing to the lack of specificity, given the large number of climate policies repealed.

Incredible. The Luxon Government releases a farcical climate strategy ‘pamphlet’ on the same day its own officials deliver damning advice on the emissions impact of Shane Jones’ planned repeal of the oil and gas exploration ban. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Govt accused of trying to bury damning oil and gas ban reportwww.nzherald.co.nz The Opposition argues the Government is hiding its inaction with 'pamphlet' strategy.

Today marks 39 years since the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Tāmaki Makaurau during the campaign to stop Pacific nuclear testing. As always, we remember Fernando Pereira, who was killed on that day and reflect on how, together, we've shown that you can’t sink a Rainbow! 🧵

Since then, we've only grown stronger. The Warrior still sails on the front lines in our mission to ensure Earth's ability to nurture life in all its diversity. As we face the climate and biodiversity crises, we take courage in knowing that when we stand together, we win.

The bombing of the Rainbow Warrior - Greenpeace Aotearoawww.greenpeace.org The bombing of the Rainbow Warrior. In 1985, French secret service agents planted two bombs and sank the Rainbow Warrior. An instance of responding to peaceful protest with deadly force.

The NZ Govt is now looking at a SECOND seabed mining proposal for an area south of where TTR wants to extract 50 million tonnes of seabed every year for 30 years. It could be the thin end of the wedge for an industry that wants to treat the sea floor like an open-cast mine, both here and globally.

Further afield, in the Pacific Ocean, other companies want to mine the deep sea floor for metals with machines that will put whole ecosystems at risk. So far, they have faced stiff opposition, but if seabed mining here in Aotearoa gets underway, it's a precedent that will be harder to stop them.

With iwi, hapū and eNGOs, we've managed to stop TTR so far, but most recently, they pulled out of an EPA hearing where they were fighting a losing battle to pin their hopes on the Fast Track Bill. This new application is going straight for the Fast Track www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Second seabed mining company threatens to turn seas into open-cast mine - Greenpeace Aotearoawww.greenpeace.org Greenpeace says a second application for a prospecting permit to mine off the coast of Taranaki highlights the dangers of the Fast Track Approvals Bill.

We'll continue to fight seabed mining both here in Aotearoa, and globally. The next International Seabed Authority (ISA) Council meeting begins in Kingston, Jamaica very soon. We’ll be there again, urging world leaders to prioritise marine protection over deep sea mining interests.

Governments meeting there in Kingston have an historic opportunity to get ahead of a new extractive industry and stop it before it starts. Imagine if we could go back in time and stop oil drilling, preventing the ongoing climate crisis and countless oil spills!

Whatever the rules are to exploit the seabed, there is no sustainable seabed mining in the deep sea or here in Aotearoa. It risks irreversible damage to our oceans and threatens frontline communities. Governments must call it out and fight for ocean protection.

Already, 24 governments as well as scientists, fisheries, finance sectors, and civil society are calling for a halt on deep sea mining. It is time to send a clear signal, hot on the heels of a historic Global Ocean Treaty, that the era of ocean destruction is over. Sign the petition here
