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Good news: “West Coast mine application on #UNESCO heritage site withdrawn”.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…

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…

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/35035…

Most of the big mining companies are Aussie - including Taranaki seabed miner TTR - set to take the lions share of value and leave us with the acid mine drainage, cyanide laden tailings dams, destroyed seabed and extinct wildlife. We can’t mine our way to a liveable planet.
Q+A@NZQandA

New Zealand... first? If Shane Jones gets his way and expands mining in New Zealand, what proportion of the industry's profits will stay in the country? Watch his full interview: youtu.be/NMBetM1k1NM
