We have put in a strong submission against OGLs Waihi North Fast-track application - the first of the private profit, non-infrastructures applications to go through the process...

Watchdog just finished our 20 day marathon to submit under Fast Track against the Waihi North Project including the proposed mine under Wharekirauponga - learned so much more about how bad the risks to environment and economically shaky this project is !

Not one of the 33 budget media releases mentions climate. & climate policies cut yet again.
This is a backwards, scorched earth budget setting NZ on track for social economic and climate hell.
Doesn't have to be this way. Climate spending cleans air, saves lives & creates jobs.

Talk about anti-environment. DOC funding is pitiful in this Budget - a sad indictment of how this Govt views our precious environment... doc.govt.nz/news/issues/budg…

The rubbish Nicola Willis and the Nact Government expect us to believe: letting the wealthy get wealthier - just for owning property, or industries that harm health & the planet - is necessary & good for us all.
Do they think we’re stupid?

Well, how convenient for the mining industry, eh. why not get the taxpayer subsidising them a bit more. ".. create a new rule allowing businesses to write off 20 percent of the value of new assets - like machinery, tools and equipment in addition to regular depreciation".
neat.

This really speaks to how vital it is to have independent scrutiny of these applications - and how dangerous the Fast-track is! #FasttrackWrongtrack

So OcaenaGold are STILL claiming that there are millions of Archey's frogs! From their FAst-track application:
"the Coromandel population of Archey’s frog is estimated to be between 8 – 25 million adults."
We call bullsh!t
