The Luxon Government has backed down on its poisonous plan to allow 100-times more glyphosate residues on the grains that feed us every day.

PRESS RELEASE The Fast-Track Amendment Bill which passed its first reading in parliament today is a savage escalation of the Luxon Government’s war on nature. #nzpol www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Digging deeper to make your power bill steeper - the Luxon Government and the power companies are in it together, and guess who’s footing the bill?

Wannabe seabed mining company Trans-Tasman Resources tries to repackage the same bad science and feed it up to the Fast Track expert panel as something new. #BanSeabedMining #Oceans www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

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

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” which is really just a polluters get paid plan. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
