See no evidence. Hear no Evidence. Speak no Evidence. That is the Luxon Government's motto for its dirty polluting LNG fossil gas terminal that we don't need. But hey it probably keeps the Coalition Govt.s corporate donors happy and I guess that's all the evidence they need to carry on.

Officials redacted advice showing 'low need' for LNG imports

Government officials tried to redact advice pointing to a "low need" for the facility and, in some cases, no need at all.

The biggest attack on Conservation Land in NZ"s history is underway. The Luxon Govt. plans to open the door to selling off 60% of our public conservation land - around five million ha. It is the final move in their coordinated agenda to hand the keys to NZ to foreign mining giants. Read more here

While ordinary people face higher energy bills and economic uncertainty, oil and gas companies often see their profits surge during geopolitical crises. We must tax the fossil fuel corporations profiting from these crises instead of letting them pass on the cost to us.

BP just made more than double its quarterly profit - and its all thanks to the US & Israel's murder of 165 Iranian schoolgirls & thousands more men, women & children across Iran and Lebanon. But, this is not even the first time BP has made its dirty, earth-killing profits off the blood of Iranians.🧵

The Govt announced its support for an LNG import terminal in Feb using modelling that didn't take into account price volatility. Since Feb: - LNG prices have gone up 50-70% - Its predicted they'll go up another 50-100% - We've also faced 8 severe weather related states of emergency #climatecrisis

Government's plans for LNG terminal didn't model international price spike

A climate advocate said the decision not to model price volatility was "remarkable" and raised further questions about whether the planned facility was a good idea.

The stats are in & there is no escaping the dots connecting the climate & cost of living crises. The biggest driver of inflation in the last year - electricity . This quarter - petrol. Meanwhile costly storms keep hitting NZ. They all have one thing in common.

Annual inflation steady at 3.1%, continues to breach RBNZ target range

Annual inflation 3.1% in March quarter, with electricity leading the way. Rent rise lowest in 16 years, petrol price rises show up for March quarterly rate

When you're paying $3 a litre for petrol... Remember Luxon's govt crashed the EV market, slashed public transport & cycleway spending & cut fees for importing gas guzzlers by 80% - turning NZ into a dumping ground for the worlds dirtiest most oil hungry vehicles. Credit @newsroom.co.nz for the graph

NZ'ers are paying $3 a litre for petrol. Did Luxon's Govt make this situation worse? Let's check the receipts: 1) They collapsed the EV market in NZ by killing the clean car discount + making fees to import gas guzzling cars nearly 80% cheaper. EV sales dropped 70% in NZ while globally sales rose

The PM's been reading too much fossil fuel fan fiction. You don't make electricity cheaper by taxing power bills to fund fossil fuels. You don't stop climate floods by building a dirty LNG terminal. Put the gas industry romance novel down Luxon & get real about building the clean energy we need.

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...

The Government has unveiled two new bills to replace the RMA. Ministers are talking about decks and front doors - but the RMA is what protects land, air, water and wildlife from mining, dams and industrial farming. These reforms weaken environmental protections.🧵 #climatecrisis

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...

1/ The latest from Luxon’s War on Nature is a proposal to make it easier for mining corporations to bulldoze NZ's most fragile and precious ecosystems. And the mining industry didn’t just get a seat at the table - they basically got given the pen to re-write the mining rulebook. #DefendNature #NZpol
