The fires are still burning in Australia, our Northland whanau are running out of wai-maori and Southland is underwater. Attend one of our public talks this fortnight and learn how you can help. We’ve been out promoting them with our mini koalas…
In Canada, we’ve just seen what a supposedly “green” government can do; trampling over indigenous rights to build more fossil fuel infrastructure. Read this powerful rebuttal by Aotearoa’s own Te Ara Whatu. Closer to home, the road-building bonanza demonstrates the strategic wiggle room that allows our government to shirk its ‘nuclear-free moment’. This is why we think it is essential that we socialise a citizen’s assembly is a key tactic to overcoming corporate interests.
