I think the US might notice if Canada started developing nuclear weapons! I don't think nuclear proliferation is an answer.

Presumably because the fast-track process is so appallingly lax that they think they can get even a hypothetical project rubber-stamped.
In totally unrelated news, applications for fast-track panelists are currently open: www.fasttrack.govt.nz/news/express...

This shows that when enough pressure is applied, the new Minister can be responsive. And it further speaks to the success of community advocacy for keeping speed reductions in place. 👏

The idea that coal will bring wealth to our nation is ridiculous. The science says we need to be out of coal ALTOGETHER by 2030.
The West Coast has never become rich from coal - it's a fly-in-fly-out industry.
And the profits would, again, go to an Australian owned company, Bathurst Resources.

President of Living Streets Aotearoa, Tim Jones (@timjonesbooks.bsky.social), says the proposal: 'is a step backwards. That would mean fewer footpaths, that is reducing the ability for pedestrians to get around. The current cycleway isn't perfect, but it's a big improvement on what was there before.

Living Streets Aotearoa is disappointed to see the Minister making an arbitrary intervention to cancel a project with substantial benefits for pedestrians. Solutions like this are localism in action, and they should be supported.
