Next stop: interregional rail, and a city wide network!
Kia hiwa rā! Kia hiwa rā!
Our beautiful, sacred Waitakere Ranges or Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa, is under serious threat. It will take more than one person, one party to protect it from this one-term government bulldozing its way through this sacred region to make a buck. It’s going to take all of us.
Please join me and my friend, Green MP Steve Abel, along with some of our local West Auckland leaders for an open and informative kōrero on key legislative changes and what you and your whānau can do to Tiakina Te Wao - Protect the Ranges 🌿🖤 #tiakinatewao #protecttheranges #waitakereranges #westauckland
The journey to settlement is long and hard. As Māori we make the compromises for Kāwanatanga who will not genuinely compensate iwi Māori for the full losses we have suffered.
E tino aroha ana ki tō tātou iwi Māori, ngā iwi o Hauraki hoki 🤍✊🏽 #hewhakaputanga1835 #tetiriti1840 #justice
Another day, another travesty that not one Government Party campaigned on and not one credible submission supported. This is the Luxon Government's legacy ☠️☠️
That time when the most anti-environment Government in lil ol' Aotearoa NZ's history decided it would be a good idea to disestablish 40 years of the Ministry for the Environment despite overwhelming rejection from submitters and no clear justification or assurance of ongoing transparency ☠️☠️

Maiki Sherman’s resignation and continued pressure on our public broadcasters creates a chilling effect on our ability to investigate and report stories across the motu. Kia kaha kia maia Maiki me ngā hoa Pāpaoho katoa ❤️🩹
The Curia poll released yesterday by Animal Policy International found 79 per cent of farmers agree that imported animal products should be required to meet New Zealand’s animal welfare standards, while only 10 per cent disagree.
“It’s great to see the strong farmer support for closing the welfare gap and ensuring that imported animal products meet New Zealand’s welfare standards,” says Green Party spokesperson for agriculture and animal welfare Steve Abel.
“My Bill closes the welfare gap on imported animal products which would make life both better for animals and fairer for farmers.”
“It’s unjust and unfair that a higher welfare pork product has to compete on New Zealand’s supermarket shelves with a lower welfare imported product.”
“The public and farmers alike want to see a level playing field in upholding New Zealand’s strong belief in high animal welfare standards. We want to be sure that animals live a good life on our farms and in our homes.”
“I will continue to invite MPs from across the Parliament to support my Bill so it can be brought before the House for the good of farmers and animals,” says Abel.
There’s no part of nature Luxon’s Government won’t destroy forever to make a quick buck. The Greens won’t let that happen 💪💚 - shout out to @raytiddy for the shots 📸
