Top Tweets for #FastTrackWrongTrack

Forest & Bird’s GM of Advocacy Richard Capie explains how the Government’s new fast-track law has stripped New Zealanders of their right to speak up for the places they love.  Denniston Plateau is conservation land – home to ancient forests, rare wildlife, and headwater streams that feed entire communities. But a massive 25-year coal mine is now being pushed through without public consultation or environmental oversight.  Richard makes it clear: this is more than just a nature issue. It’s about democracy. The people who will live with the fallout – toxic waterways, acid mine drainage, wrecked ecosystems – have been locked out of the decision-making process.  If fast-track can happen here, it can happen anywhere.  💔 The climate can’t afford more coal.  💰New Zealanders shouldn’t have to keep paying for mine clean-ups.  🌿 And the natural heritage of Aotearoa shouldn’t be up for sale.  We’ve stood up for Denniston before. It’s time to rise again.  👉 Learn more  https://t.co/GxmJByutO6  🙌 Huge thanks to our friends at Guardian Films for capturing voices of Denniston along with stunning natural beauty of the landscape.
