“The question is surely why successive governments have allowed Fonterra to take hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, exploit our environment, sabotage core public policy, fail in most areas of its business, and get away with it.”https://thestandard.org.nz/new-zealands-greatest-economic-threat-is-fonterra/ #nzpol #newzealand

How about it Aotearoa!!Let’s start with a ban on the big ones very soon — they’re polluting the air, driving climate change and endangering the lives of pedestrians and cyclists.Stockholm is banning petrol and diesel cars from centre from 2025 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/11/stockholm-ban-petrol-and-diesel-cars-city-centre-2025-swedish-capital-pollution?CMP=share_btn_tw #nzpol #transport #auckland #wellington #christchurch #dunedin #hamilton #tauranga #nz #newzealand

It makes my heart heavy knowing that Christopher Luxon wants to bring offshore oil exploration back to Aotearoa.But I know that, not long ago, when faced with this same threat, thousands of people took matters into their own hands and fought off those oil companies one by one.We can do it again.#nzpol #climatechange #climate #ocean #people

The campaign was long and hard-fought, but I'm sure the spirit of resistance is even stronger now as the climate crisis becomes ever more self-evident.Here's a timeline from the first incursion into the Raukumara Basin to the eventual win years later with the ban on new oil and gas exploration.https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/explore/resist/deep-sea-oil-timeline/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=nickofnz

Any oil company considering investing in a return to Aotearoa would be ill-advised. Add your name to the open letter of resistance here:https://petition.act.greenpeace.org.nz/climate-resist-oil-gas-exploration-open-letter?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=nickofnz&utm_campaign=Climate

Did you know that once we ditch fossil fuels, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because that’s how many are just carrying coal, oil and gas?

NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet.Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation?Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly.#nzpol
