In a belated birthday present to David Attenborough, activists inspired by his Oceans documentary have painted ‘Ocean Killer’ on the side of a NZ bottom trawling vessel www.bbc.com/news/article...

Attenborough’s new film is bringing audiences to tears, and one voice has gone silent in its wake: the global fishing industry. Bottom trawling is indefensible. #OceanFilm #BanBottomTrawling #nzpol

Responding today, Talley’s said it was planning legal action, which “may include the arrest of the Rainbow Warrior”. I think Talley’s is overestimating its power. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/greenpeac...

So awful to see these little sharks desperately trying to escape a needless death in a Talley’s bottom trawling net. #BanBottomTrawling

David Seymour got sent to the School of Democracy today for his recent behaviour. Meanwhile, the fight against the Regulatory Standards Bill continues. Let's bury his bill together, just like we did the Treaty Principles Bill. #nzpol

This fits a pattern of agribusiness desperately trying to shut down anyone who stands up for nature or opposes the dairy industry’s environmental destruction. #nzpol

Waste to Energy incineration is too polluting even for the dairy industry. Dioxin-contaminated milk? No thanks. www.thepost.co.nz/business/360...

Shane Jones is out of step with NZ values. The Trumpian, pro-mining, ‘Make New Zealand Great Again’-wearing resources minister says he wants to see the Department of Conservation's extensive land estate dismantled and opened for development (mining). #nzpol

This is a pathetic attempt by Seymour to diminish people’s legitimate concerns about his far-right libertarian Regulatory Standards Bill www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

David Seymour is saying the 130,000 submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill are mostly just thanks to a Greenpeace email campaign, and not people who have something to say about it. He's wrong. Only about 12,000 came through the Greenpeace submission guide, and they ALL deserve to be heard.

WOW. Not a single fine or recall has been issued for food with illegal levels of potentially harmful agrichemicals in at least five years, despite dozens of breaches. Not one! Is that why Luxon is raising the levels of allowable chemical residue on NZ food? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Good! Stripping DOC’s powers and removing Treaty clauses from conservation law to make way for mining would be a radically regressive move that would drag Aotearoa backwards. Conservation Minister rejects Shane Jones’ mining attack on nature #nzpol

Luxon's #WarOnNature rolls on. This is another blatant attempt at enabling mining on conservation land. The whole point of DOC is to protect nature. Their power to veto mining in native forests and wetlands should be strengthened, not hamstrung. #nzpol
