Government Officials should not have withheld a key document behind the Luxon government's decision to proceed with a "divisive" LNG terminal, the chief ombudsman has ruled. rnz.co.nz/news/political/999…

So Chris Bishop @cjsbishop and Shane Jones @mangonui08 had to choose between a wind farm that would supply masses of cheap renewable power for NZ, or a seabed mining project that would destroy the sea floor and send profits to Oz, and they chose the mine thepost.co.nz/business/35044…

This is what the #ClimateCrisis looks like. It’s caused by industrial emissions from fossil fuels and intensive meat and dairy, and yet the Govt continually fails to do anything about it. #nzpol

Kudos to my colleague Francisco Hernandez for uncovering the huge hypocrisy happening in the Ministry of Regulations. Public servants deserve good pay and conditions, but the Govt is cutting thousands of jobs while giving a its pet ministries big salaries rnz.co.nz/news/political/525…

The Govt quietly set new child poverty reduction targets that will see 17,000 more children in material hardship and overall poverty reduction weakened. They were hoping no one would notice. Poverty is a political choice. Liveable incomes now! stuff.co.nz/politics/3503551…

The Govt plans to weaken rules to protect freshwater from pollution. Already 70% of lowland rivers are unsafe for swimming. Is he aiming for 100%?

"What we've been talking about mostly is the job losses, but there's equivalent operating budget loss, & that just means DOC won't have capacity to deliver on species conservation programmes," "So we will likely lose species out of this." @jo_monks_nz rnz.co.nz/news/national/5140…
