There's a climate scam going on in downtown Auckland... At the Fonterra HQ. Despite being the single biggest climate polluting company in the country, Fonterra isn't paying up for its climate pollution. And to top that off - this Government just cut the methane reduction target.

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

The NZ Govt has admitted that new methane targets do not align with goals to keep global warming below 1.5C - a limit set in place to prevent catastrophic climate change. The move breaches both international law and free trade agreements with the EU and the UK. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/15/c... #nzpol

The New Zealand Government's move to weaken methane emissions reduction targets risks our trade relationships, reputation, and puts us all at risk of unmanageable consequences from climate change, argues Professor James Renwick of Victoria University www.wgtn.ac.nz/news/2025/10... #nzpol #climate

The Luxon Government is embarrassing NZ again. Cutting methane emissions now is the emergency handbrake we need to prevent dangerous climate change, but our Govt has let the dairy industry off the hook for its massive methane emissions. More info 👇 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o... #nzpol
