National have officially flipped into climate denier territory.
With a constant stream of climate disasters on hour screen, the utter disconnection with reality is terrifying.
@cjsbishop is very clear that prioritising for climate change is stupid and that housing is more important. At least he’s not hiding his position so know where we can vote for building sprawl rather than a liveable planet.
This sort of stupidity is why National will change transport funding criteria ti explicitly prioritise housing growth.
We have a housing crisis, made worse by this government. We have to grow our way out of it.
@bernardchickey nails it. Labour and National battling it out for “worst ancestor” award on transport and climate change. Bernard suggests pragmatic fast solutions.
You’d think after all we’ve been through this year, political parties would be falling over themselves to do the most climate action possible.
It’s depressing that it feels the opposite, from two major parties anyhow.
The legacy we’re leaving the next generation is horrific.
Yeah, it sucks when a major political party announces that they want to trash the climate for another few decades. But here are some wise words.

@RichardHills_: '@AklTransport ignored our climate plan, then they said we needed an emissions reduction plan..they approved the TERP and they promised to complete early actions before it was approved, then an implementation plan, none of that was done.'

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them."
~Miguel Anxo, Mayor of #Pontevedra, #Spain (7 times re-elected).
Do not forget.
Joanna Kong was killed outside her school by a motorist in @SimeonBrownMP's electorate, only two years ago.
He has done nothing to make kids safer outside schools. He even actively opposes such measures.
Ignorant and shameful.

OraTaiao strongly supports #LiberateTheLane. Not providing access for cycling and walking is a historical mistake that should be remedies asap, for health and climate reasons!

School strikers correctly identify that much of their futures are in our hands, not their own. Their anxiety and concern and anger are not an overreaction but a rational response to an irrational world.

It is clearer than ever that this election, we need major media outlets to host a climate debate - where political leaders are grilled on their climate plans.
@TVNZ@NewshubNZ will you commit to hosting a climate debate?

Aucklanders (overwhelmingly): We want climate action!
Auckland Council (unanimously): Prioritise climate action!
Wayne Brown: Sends one misguided email
Auckland Transport: What if we... made it impossible to do meaningful climate action?
