Mānawatia a Matariki! Matariki mā Puanga. Matariki can be a time for reflection and strengthening connections between people and te taiao (nature). Matariki reminds us of our connection to te taiao and our responsibilities to look after it.

Across Aotearoa, communities are beating mining companies and their pet politicians. Public outrage forced the government to walk back the attempts to sell off conservation land. Mass opposition to fast-track mining projects have delayed, paused or stopped the majority of mining applications.

Today, we're handing over our petition to ANZ, calling on the bank to withdraw banking services from fossil fuel expansion companies like Bathurst Resources, who plans to turn the Denniston Plateau into a massive coal pit. These are some of the stories of people who oppose the mine.

Saying you want an energy strategy while undermining and cutting energy transition workstreams is like saying you are 'cleaning the house' while sweeping rotting food under the rug 🧹

If we can send spaceships to mars and put intelligence on silicon chips, then we can definately achieve democracy at scale. Anyone who tells us otherwise is laughing their way to the bank by trying to con us that ridiculous levels of wealth inequality are somehow natural.

We deserve better. It is true that money talks - but our votes talk louder, This election is our chance to turf out those corporations who are trying their best to cement their stanglehold on officials and elected representative. Let's kick them out now, before it's too late.

Big win for our friends at 'Ours not Mine' and other community leaders: SirenGold’s permit application to open a mine near pristine waterways at Sams Creek has been DECLINED! It comes after mass community opposition to the proposed mine, led by local group ‘Ours not Mine’ and others.

Extractive corporates want us to think a fairer, healthier, more collective world is impossible. But a better future isn't just a possibility; it's human nature!

It's hard to breathe under the chokehold that mining lobbyists have on this government Together, we can break the grip of the fossil fuel lobby, and elect a government that protects the air we breath, the water we drink, and the places we love.
