Shane Jones accidentally makes a very strong case for massive investment in solar and wind power.

5) They killed of the WGTN low emissions transport plan.

6) They cut public transport, walking & cycle funding to build more roads

7) Now they want to charge us a new gas tax to build an LNG import terminal that will expose us to another volatile global fossil fuel market

NZ'ers are paying $3 a litre for petrol. Did Luxon's Govt make this situation worse? Let's check the receipts:

1) They collapsed the EV market in NZ by killing the clean car discount + making fees to import gas guzzling cars nearly 80% cheaper. EV sales dropped 70%

[Gen Toop @Gen_toop]

2) They are considering scrapping the clean car standard altogether. This will make NZ even more of a "dumping ground" for high-emission, petrol dependent vehicles.

3) They killed off the Auckland light rail plan

4) They ended subsidies to public transport for young people

The Luxon Government wants to remove GE safeguards and let GMOs free. Greenpeace isn’t the only one who is ringing the alarm bells.

What if polluters could demand a payout – just for being told to stop polluting?

That’s exactly what the Govt is considering putting into the new RMA replacement laws. A fringe idea called “regulatory takings” AKA the polluters get paid plan

Now David Seymour & co want to make it even easier for chemical cowboys to put more dangerous pesticides on our food and into our environment, and get away with it. 26,000+ have said HELL NO. Sign the open letter https://t.co/weTdE0g9Fu...

2/One company illegally sprayed the organophosphate methamidophos on food, leaving residues at 30x the legal limit. A pesticide is so toxic it’s now banned. But sure, let’s keep cracking down on poor people stealing food they need to survive while agribusiness crooks walk free

[Gen Toop @Gen_toop]

1/ The Govt reckons it’s “tough on crime” - unless you're a company illegally spraying toxic pesticides on our food. Documents uncovered by Greenpeace show four companies repeatedly broke food safety laws. Guess how many prosecutions in 9 years? Zero. https://t.co/muw3JWclVM

The ongoing and indiscriminate bombing, starvation and killing of Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank by Israeli authorities must end.

Take action: https://t.co/KHVqbV7ZFC

The relentless violence has claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives – mostly women and children – and pushed Gaza’s infrastructure to collapse.

The blockade of essential resources has left the people of Palestine facing starvation, disease, and worsening suffering.

The New Zealand Government must continue calling for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the aid blockade but they must go beyond words.

Join our call on the New Zealand Government to take action now with strong and comprehensive sanctions on Israel: https://t.co/KHVqbV7ZFC

The Government's property rights-driven overhaul of the RMA is a hostile takeover of nature.

We're calling for the Government to halt the reforms and instead strengthen laws that protect nature and uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

1/
 Last night the Govt launched its next move in the war on nature - RMA reform. Alongside the Fast Track Act and Treaty Principles Bill, it’s a plan to tear down environmental protections so corporations can exploit nature with no guardrails.

3/ Rivers, groundwater and air don’t stop at the boundary line. Nitrate pollution from intensive dairy in Canterbury has already contaminated drinking water kilometres away. This Govt. can’t even get school lunches right - we can't trust them to rewrite the rules for the planet

[Gen Toop @Gen_toop]

5/ New Zealand’s anti-nuclear stance isn’t just symbolic; it’s a commitment to global peace and security, and this is as important now as it has ever been. @chrisluxonmp needs to immediately restate our opposition to India's NSG membership. https://t.co/6AZpVFKJs5

1/ Less than a week after the 40th commemoration of the Greenpeace evacuation of 300+ people from Rongelap Atoll due to US nuclear testing, PM Luxon is undermining NZ’s proud anti-nuclear stance - for a trade deal. This is a betrayal of our history and values. #NuclearFreeNZ

[Gen Toop @Gen_toop]

4/ We know the horrors of nuclear weapons. The US and France tested hundreds of nuclear bombs in the Pacific. The devastation forced generations of people from their homes and left a toxic legacy that persists today. We vowed: never again. Luxons move undermines that commitment.
