Call on Chris Bishop to stop the corporate power grab in his RMA reforms: no to companies suing govts for protecting nature, no to erasing Te Tiriti, no to putting profits and property before people and the planet. greenpeace.nz/hdw6qe via @greenpeacenz

PRESS RELEASE: Govt subsidies for dirty dairy dams will lead to polluted drinking water greenpeace.org/aotearoa/press… #nzpol

"Very difficult to evaluate disparate packages of ideas that do not appear to have any coherent strategy." “Evidence base supporting this proposal is extremely poor." “A ‘pet’ solution in search of a problem rather than evidence-based policy making.” thepress.co.nz/nz-news/360772…?

“Evidence base supporting this proposal is extremely poor." Luxon promised evidence-based policy but is producing policy that, not only lacks an evidence-base, goes against expert evidence. NZ's freshwater must not be destroyed as the Gov has proposed. thepress.co.nz/nz-news/360772…?

This Government is in bed with polluters. Changing the law to allow more pollution, more contaminated drinking water, more dead estuaries, more choking algal blooms, more sewage overflows, more dead fish, more threatened wildlife... rnz.co.nz/news/political…

"The late changes were a 'conspicuous example of how far vested interests are controlling this Govt'. 'Where pollution has gone too far, the answer is to fix the pollution, not change the law so it becomes legal.'" newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/13/las…

It's it caving or is it capture? This Govt's position on environmental policy is almost indistinguishable from major polluting industries.

Govt is allowing pollution of our waterways by amending the RMA to waive consent requirements - a backward step to undermine water standards. Ministers are stacking up pollution for future Govts & future generations to clean up. #pollutioncoststhefuture rnz.co.nz/news/political…

“What this means is that ongoing, severe pollution is being made legal at the stroke of a pen & that appears to directly contradict our obligations under our EU Free Trade Agreement." choosecleanwater.org.nz/in-the-media/p…

"This recent onslaught confirms that the Government’s environmental credentials are completely in tatters." thepost.co.nz/politics/36079…

Anne Salmond: Who is this Government working for? On a range of environmental and legal measures involving forestry, the coalition Government seems to be doing the opposite of what people and communities need, writes Dame Anne Salmond newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/23/ann…

Anne Salmond asks who is #NZ “Government working for, and why? In the case of industrial #forestry, is it ratepayers taxpayers, or international forestry companies that pay no tax, and expatriate their profits?” Incomprehensible changes to forestry regs: newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/23/ann…

That river your kids swim in every summer? The stream that runs through your neighbourhood? The lake your whānau picnics beside? They’re in trouble. Most of our rivers and lakes are polluted. Some swimming spots are too risky to enter. Our native freshwater species are

Alternative drinking water sources are being sought by councils as nitrate pollution worsens - but one academic warns authorities they cannot “engineer their way” out of a looming crisis. #drinkingwater thepress.co.nz/environment/36…

💚“If politicians won’t stand up for nature, we will.” 💚  That was Forest & Bird Chief Executive Nicola Toki a year ago at the March for Nature, where 20,000 New Zealanders marched down Auckland’s Queen Street opposing the Fast-track Amendment Bill.  Now, in the last few

Watchdog just finished our 20 day marathon to submit under Fast Track against the Waihi North Project including the proposed mine under Wharekirauponga - learned so much more about how bad the risks to environment and economically shaky this project is !
