TV one starts tonight at 6pm “ the world’s first trillionaire” it’s not news, it’s gross, are we supposed to be impressed and envious ? There are amazing people who will never be trillionaire right wing nightmares - I want to hear about the good work they do, or even news.

The Luxon government plans to gut protections for 5 million hectares of public conservation land - making it easier to sell it off to mining corporations and billionaires. Make a submission to oppose the sell off now. Greenpeace has made it super easy👇 action.greenpeace.org.nz/ett…

There's a girl from Belfast who, along with her friend, is offering assistance to minority residents who are afraid to leave their homes to go to the shops or work because of the riots. Bless them.

TOP Party need to learn /stand in the middle of the road you get run over - and if you stand for just getting power you will fall for anything / I don’t trust them on Te Tiriti, social justice or environment/ clearly they want power more than articulating clear principles

Further reading of Conservation Amendment bill - dispose/sell land if it’s not the “ best example” or “ one of the best examples “of threatened survived or ecology in ecological district - we never voted for this hierarchical fire sale approach !

Jakarta military tribunal sentenced four soldiers between 1.5 and three years in prison for an acid attack on a human rights lawyer. This is a mockery of justice. It shows exactly why the Indonesian military court system is not fit for cases like these youtube.com/watch?v=Zs46jrvw…

Why is a state asset ( see DOC) land being opened up for sale without public mandate ? Once privatised it can be mined or developed and never available for Te Tiriti settlement- we have to fight this !

The new Conservation Amendment Bill which sells off DOC lands is evil twin of the Fast Track law -they work together to sabotage the lands we need to protect and the power to protect public land - and it’s a Te Tiriti issue as it prevents return of ancestral lands once sold off

Proyek food estate di tangan militer jadi sejarah kegagalan. Tapi kini, Jenderal Prabowo kembali mendorong proyek serupa di Papua seluas 2,5 juta hektar, setelah sebelumnya gagal mengelola food estate di Kalimantan. Simak fakta selengkapnya dalam film Pesta Babi.

Another activist found dead in her home, with marks on her neck, after leading a fight against mining companies and corrupt politicians amid the Ecuadorian state illegally expanding mining activity. Earlier this year, Ecuadorian water defender, Manuel Cabrera, was also murdered after refusing to give up the land he’s worked for years to mining corporations. Both activists received several death threats prior to passing and filed multiple complaints that went ignored because the state was hostile to their activism. Just last month, the vocal older sister of one of the four Black boys that the Ecuadorian state kidnapped, murdered and burned to ashes, was shot and killed. A few weeks later, family and neighbors from her community reported that military and government officials were stalking them and knocking on doors asking for the addresses of the 4 boys’ families in what appears to be an act of intimidation. All the while, Marxist organizers like Omar Campoverde are being starved and sexually tortured in Ecuador’s prisons. Whether it be by neglect, forced starvation, execution-style shoot outs, the U.S.-backed dictatorship that rules Ecuador by martial law and pentagon bombs is responsible and at fault.
No hacía falta conocer a Mónica Silva para que su asesinato nos duela profundamente. El asesinato de una defensora de derechos humanos y de la naturaleza constituye un golpe directo a la democracia. Cuando una persona es silenciada por denunciar corrupción, abusos de poder o estructuras criminales enquistadas en el Estado, no solo se atenta contra su vida. Se envía un mensaje de miedo a toda la sociedad. Quienes denunciamos violaciones de derechos humanos, corrupción e impunidad tenemos derecho a ejercer esa labor con garantías de protección. Y Mónica alertó, denunció y advirtió públicamente, en reiteradas ocasiones, sobre las amenazas y el riesgo que enfrentaba. ¿Dónde estuvo la respuesta del Estado? ¿Dónde estuvo @FiscaliaEcuador? ¿Dónde estuvo @DEFENSORIAEC? ¿Dónde estuvo @PoliciaEcuador? Las instituciones se regodean hablando de políticas de protección para personas defensoras. Pero cuando una defensora denunció amenazas concretas y pidió auxilio, el Estado no actuó. No la protegió. La dejó sola. Por eso, el Estado ecuatoriano tiene una responsabilidad ineludible en la muerte de Mónica Silva. Ahora tiene también la obligación de esclarecer la verdad. No solo frente a sus familiares, sino frente a toda la sociedad ecuatoriana. La investigación debe ser inmediata, independiente y capaz de llegar hasta los autores materiales e intelectuales de este crimen, sin importar el poder político, económico o institucional que puedan tener. Como defensor de derechos humanos, el asesinato de Mónica me duele profundamente porque nos recuerda una verdad incómoda. Muchas veces aquello que combatimos está protegido por redes de poder que confían en que la impunidad las mantendrá intactas. Pero también nos recuerda que callar nunca ha sido una opción. Debemos seguir denunciando, exigiendo verdad y enfrentando la impunidad. Mónica no puede convertirse en una estadística más. Su asesinato no puede quedar impune y su lucha no puede ser condenada al olvido. La mejor forma de honrar a Mónica es continuar diciendo en voz alta aquello que quisieron silenciar y exigiendo que su asesinato no quede impune.

Following the recent clearing of 10,000 hectares of land, the district has been hit by severe flooding for the first time in its history.
Indigenous West Papuans in North Kokoda, South Sorong protested the land-grabbing and clearing of their forests for Jakarta’s rice field program.
