Climate Justice Taranaki

Climate Justice Taranaki is a community group dedicated to justice, education, resistance and positive action at the front lines of climate change.

@ECONewZealand It was a great public meeting!

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

The residents also object to the government’s intention to enact ‘Enabling legislation’ (without any community consultation) which would allow the LNG facility to be built and operational, and a levy put on all electricity users to fund the project, now estimated to cost $2.7 b.

At a public meeting in New Plymouth this Tuesday attended by about 100 local residents, the vast majority signed an ‘Urgent Plea’ to stop the proposed Liquefied Natural Gas  (LNG) import facility, addressed to @chrisluxonmp and @SimeonBrownMP

The plea states that the residents, many living within 2km of Port Taranaki, find that the low probability but high impact risks and consequences of having a LNG import facility at the port, are unacceptable to them.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

About 100 people have packed into the St Mary's Peace Hall in New Plymouth to hear from critics of a proposal for a liquified natural gas import facility at Port Taranaki. Extra seats had to be rolled out at the "Why importing LNG is a bad idea" event.

@SecRubio 1 cup, 2 cup, 3 cup, 4 cup!

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Another win for iwi, communities and the moana. It's been 15 years of resisting this company and we will not stop. We have been here before: the company walks away only to enter a back door the govt opens up for them. Haere atu!

@ManukaResources Great news!! We won (again)! You lost (again)! Now, haere atu.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

WE WON (again)!!! Seabed mining has no future here in Taranaki - it will be opposed everywhere across the Pacific. Today, we celebrate. Kei te rere ngā mihi ki a Ngāti Ruanui, ki a koutou katoa o Aotea waka. The whole West Coast is smiling. Ka mutu pea! https://t.co/PIqkkpklxa

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

The Fast-Track panel members came outside to acknowledge the community. Let's hope they make the right decision.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

The seabed mining Fast-Track hearing is underway in Te Hāwera with Ngāti Ruanui presenting their powerful kōrero first, referring back to the oath made at Manawapou in 1854: te tangata tōmua, te whenua tōmuri.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Our speakers focused on the cumulative effects in the South Taranaki bight and the effects on marine life. As we were finishing our presentation, the South Taranaki community gathered outside, with waiata led by rangatahi to demonstrate our collective opposition.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

The permit area is offshore, right off the coast of Te Hāwera and stretching to Pātea. We will continue to oppose and organise against any attempts to keep drilling for oil and gas. There is more information on the NZPAM website: https://t.co/2K89RiImQ6

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Kia hiwa rā! A new attack on the ocean, climate and communities in South Taranaki. EnZed Energy Pty Ltd has an application for drilling accepted by NZ Petroleum and Minerals and an open market competitive process has now commenced.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Climate Justice Taranaki is speaking on the first day, Tuesday, 21st October at 11.30am.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ruanui is calling on supporters to show their support by meeting outside the TSB Hub Grand Stand each day between 12noon and 1pm.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Kia ora - the next stage of our fight against Trans-Tasman Resources and their desire for seabed mining in South Taranaki begins this week.
From 21-23 October, the Fast-Track Expert Panel are meeting at the TSB Hub in Te Hāwera.

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

“The action was to highlight why communities across Aotearoa face rising energy prices yet the New Zealand government gives hundreds of millions of dollars in tax payer subsidies to the Canadian gas company and pursues, rather than transitions the country off fossil fuels.”

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Communities call for shut down of Methanex
Climate Justice Taranaki and other activists from across the country protested at the Canadian owned Methanex gas-fed plant in Taranaki today.

Ehara taku toa, i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini
My strength is not as an individual, but as a Collective Rebellion

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

Taranaki joined the national protest today against ANZ funding coal mining in the beautiful Denniston Plateau conservation area on the West Coast.

ANZ Aotearoa stop providing banking services to planet-killing fossil fuel industries like Bathurst Resources!

[Climate Justice Taranaki @ClimateJusticeT]

The Fast-Track legislation means there is no longer any way for members of the public to voice concerns about proposed projects like this coal mine. The New Zealand government has basically forced us to take actions like this if we want to be heard.
