Keep submitting on the Conservation Amendment Bill as it stands by this Wed 5pm July 2nd ✊️ Don't let Government screw ups and distraction divert your attention from standing up for our wildest, most precious Conservation land 👏👏

It's in our nature to put people and planet before corporate profits. Now more than ever. Join us for a kōrero about Te Taiao - our environment. What's happening with this Government and most importantly what needs to happen in the future ✊️🌏 RSVP at link in comments.

Ministerial trips to drum up foreign investment into mining places like our public Conservation land by bulldozing them through Fast Track....yeah naaaaaa. A Government who governs for our people and te taiao environment is possible. Just clearly not with this one ☠️

24,000 voices got their submission in on the Conservation (Exploitation) Amendment Bill over the last weekend alone! And our petition is at over 48,000 signatures and counting 😱👏👏🌏🌳🐧 Keep the pressure on. Force this Government to sink this bill, just like their harmful Fisheries bill ✊️ Links below!

Our Government are doing whatever in their power to remove or weaken environmental protections and entice foreign companies to come mine our country, take the profits offshore and leave communities to pay the tab with a decimated environment and toxic legacy ☠️☠️

People power works ✊️ it's delayed the Government's horrific Fisheries Amendment Bill, now we need to sink it, and its public conservation land privatisation buddy the Conservation Amendment Bill, for good. Your voice matters. Use it for good this election year 💚🌏

Zooming into Youth Politics information night in Timaru. Politics doesn't have to be about money and power hungry sugar-hit short-termism. We can choose a politics that is about care for each other as human beings, our environment, and future generations 💚✊️🌏

Opps! Our Government forgot about the foundation of our collective wellbeing and disestablished the dedicated Ministry for the Environment ☠️☠️ In five months voting opens....let's not forget this one. Enrol. Vote. Share. Get involved ✊️

Sat 30 May. "We're here in Budget Urgency still & I wanted to break down just how harmful this budget is for te taiao, which we all need to exist, to live a good life & pass on a decent future to our kids & grandkids ... this is the most anti-environment govt NZ's ever had" @lanpham.greens.org.nz 💚✊

The utter rejection of information, evidence and science by this Government is astoundingly reckless. They didn't even want to see, let alone understand, the risks to the critical work of the Ministry for the Environment that would result from its disestablishment ☠️☠️

Budget urgency. We finished up at midnight and will be back at it at 9am

Big money is flowing into this general election. ACT took in $700k in the last three days. What does that money buy?

Not one Government party campaigned on this. Not one credible submission in support. This Government know the cost of everything and the value of nothing ☠️☠️

This Government believes disestablishing the Ministry for the Environment and cutting funding for the environment is 'necessary' 🤦‍♀️☠️ If only they understood there is no economy, let alone a decent future for humanity if we don't secure the **actual necessicity** of a functional environment 💦🌏

2026 Budget. That time when the Government cemented the fact they have absolutely zero understanding of how the environment is the foundation of our existence 🫣😑☠️

We shouldn't have to imagine an Aotearoa where public conservation land is for everyone to enjoy, forever VS. mined for a sugar-hit for foreign company profits and we're left with decimated ecosystems and a toxic legacy. Protecting Conservation land from new mining is a no-brainer. Let's fix this.

In the bleakest, most harmful Government's remaining term in office, it becomes even more important to celebrate the wins. Congrats to community, iwi and hapū who have been fighting this madness for years 👏👏👏

BREAKING ‼️ My members bill has just been drawn from the biscuit tin that would draw a line in stopping any new mining on public Conservation land 🌳🦎🐧🐝🦋 ...with all the Government's attacks on nature, this could not come at a more critical time. Big ups to the original bill holder Eugenie Sage 🙌

A 40 year consensus on the existence and operation of a ministry dedicated to our environment is set to end. Not one Government party campaigned on this, and not one credible submission was in support ☠️☠️☠️

This week the Government looks set to push ahead with the disestablishment of the country's Ministry for the Environment. All at a time when they're boasting about cutting thousands more public sector jobs ☠️☠️

In a week where the Government *literally* chose the protection of corporate climate polluters over people and our right to a functional future.... ☠️☠️ ngā mihi nui and mad respect to @schoolstrike4climatenz for rallying young people across Aotearoa. Enrol. Vote. Share. Get involved ✊️

Another day, another travesty that not one Government Party campaigned on and not one credible submission supported. This is the Luxon Government's legacy ☠️☠️ Funded by Parliamentary Services Authorised by L.Pham Parliament buildings, Pōneke

That time when the most anti-environment Government in Aotearoa NZ's history decided it would be a good idea to disestablish 40 years of the Ministry for the Environment despite overwhelming rejection from submitters& no clear justification or assurance of ongoing transparency ☠️

Extremely impressive interview from @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social Underlines why so many members put her so high on the list Vote @greens.org.nz for leadership we deserve💚 #nzpol

What would an Aotearoa look like that put the health of our people and te taiao environment first? A Green-led Government is what your Green MP team are here for, and this year, together, we can make a better life possible for every body and every critter. Get amongst. Join. Enrol. Donate. Vote 💚

Jones blames The Green Party. 🥳Heck yeah, thats an endorsement imo. That’s why I’m voting for them Jonesy, and not men like you that’d sell our environment down the toilet for donors and dollars. #nzpol Party vote Greens for a greener NZ 🎉🎉 #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

A hoot to chat with my press twin Lyric from The Spinoff about trying to stay human in parliament ✊️🌏 Here's a snapshot but checkout the 'One MP, One Pint' series to read more. thespinoff.co.nz/tags/one-mp-...

Wild idea = What if this Government quit the excuses, wishful thinking and 2.9 billion in tax cuts for mega landlords and actually funded conservation? 🤔 Full article on newsroom.co.nz

Incredible to celebrate the milestone of @capital.kiwi, mana whenua, iwi, landowners, schools and community with their 250th kiwi released into the Makara wilds in Pōneke. An absolute credit to the grass roots mahi. When we invest in nature, extraordinary things can and do happen 🥹👏

The millionth reason that shows our environment, te taiao, the foundation of our existence and economy comes last for Luxon’s Government ☠️☠️ All kiwis, our kids, and future generations deserve so much better 🌏

There was just one key thing missing from the public hearings with experts, iwi, environmental and civil society groups on the Luxon Government's proposal to disestablish the Ministry for the Environment.....any form of support ❌️❌️❌️ Who exactly is this Government governing for....?

Psst hey if you're a Greens member who's eligible to vote in the member's ranking to decide your list MPs come this election, the cut off is tomorrow! Link will be in your emails 💚✌️

Another year, same reality that our rivers, lakes, and groundwater will continue to be polluted because of the Luxon Government prioritising private profits at any cost ☠️☠️ We need action, and when it's so clear Luxon's Government can't deliver on that, we need a new Green-led Government ✊️💧

Last year, over 9000 students were exposed to unsafe drinking water at school. That's unacceptable. Parents and teachers should be able to trust the water coming out of their tap, is safe. We all deserve a Government that treats the protection of drinking water sources as a foundational priority.

Today was the opening AND closing of public hearings on the disestablishment of the Ministry for the Environment. This was also the last chance to question the outgoing Minister about being the worst Minister "for the Environment" in Aotearoa's history ☠️ Kiwis deserve so much better. Enrol. VOTE.

Beaut day at Titahi Bay Easter Fair in Porirua with these beautiful people who are all ready to change this Government to one with a heart and a plan that puts people and te taiao our environment first 💚🌏 And how do we make that happen? Get everyone you know and love enrolled to vote ✊️
