The fast track process effectively excludes members of the public having a say through the “proper” channels. It consolidates power in the hands of politicians and corporate stakeholders who put short term financial gain above the grave cost to our wild natural places and future generations.

🔥🔥🔥This government has put us on a fast track to ruin. This should be concerning to ALL of us. 🌲✊🌲Beyond the devastating environmental and climate impacts of coal mining and burning fossil fuels the fast track legislation is an assault on democracy.

We’re here to say enough is enough. We will not stand idly by while Bathurst encroaches further into Happy Valley and towards the Denniston Plateau and Mt Frederick.

❤️‍🔥🌲❤️‍🔥🌲Hungry Coal Monster: The coal mining industry will always be looking for ways to stay alive; looking for more old growth forest to chop down, more coal to dig up, to burn, to heat the climate more. There are many parts of the world that are becoming too hot for human habitation.

Nearby waterways existing mines have been stripped of life, not a single freshwater insect recorded. Landscapes turned into wasteland. The extraction of resources, ecosystems, and future stability is unjustifiable in a climate and biodiversity crisis.

That’s right conservation land that is home to endemic, rare, and endangered species and ancient plant communities. While only 1% of Bathurst's revenue goes to local communities.

Climate Liberation Aotearoa @climateliberation.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
The emissions from the proposed mine on the Denniston Plateau will be equivalent to Aotearoa’s entire annual carbon footprint. And for what? Most of the coal will be exported while the environmental cost is left here on public conservation land.

#Cruise ships contribute to marine #heatwaves that are destroying Fiordland, like the millions of sea sponges that died in 2022. 🌀⛈️ And catastrophes, like the fatal Mount Maunganui landslide, January’s tropical storms in the upper North Island, and record-breaking Wellington winds in February.

💨 🌡️ Not only are #cruise ships like the Norwegian Spirit spitting out emissions, they are also dumping tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere. Cruises are one of the most carbon-intensive ways to travel with daily emissions far higher than flying. #endluxuryemissions #cruiselife #cruise #climatecrisis

It’s a climate emergency and we need to be looking past corporate advertising and making decisions that help reduce emissions not increase them. It’s the height of selfishness to buy a high-end high emission vehicle right now.

Cruising is not a vital mode of transport; people are not using cruise ships to visit whānau or for work purposes or in emergencies. And most #cruiseships are still burning the dirtiest, cheapest fuel available, heavy fuel oil, producing air pollution which directly risks our health. #climatecrisis
