Luxon’s Government shreds climate consensus – Greens
Late last night, the Government announced some of the most significant sweeping changes in recent memory to destroy climate action.
“Under the cover of night, Christopher Luxon’s Government announced their most significant destruction of climate action yet,” says Green Party co-leader, Chlöe Swarbrick.
“You cannot trust the National Party. They supported the cross-partisan Zero Carbon Act and now, in Government, are stripping the Climate Change Commission of its powers.
“Christopher Luxon promised New Zealanders he would abide by our climate commitments. In Government, he’s shown himself a liar by halving methane emissions targets, and now removing consideration of meeting the Paris Agreement from Emissions Trading Scheme settings, while making it easier to hand out taxpayer money to polluting corporations.
“Make no mistake, Luxon’s Government is making decisions for the benefit of big business at the expense of people and planet.
“A climate resilient and flourishing country and economy is entirely possible. The first step to getting there is kicking out Luxon and his corporate cronies,” says Chlöe Swarbrick.
This increasingly reckless, uncaring, arrogant mob are not at all interested in giving NZ’ers a chance with climate change. Do their dumb-assed MPs really believe climate will select the poorer people and not affect the wealthy enablers? This demonstrates how stupid and out of touch they really are. They are so OUT OF CONTROL and puffed up with their self-importance and egos, it’s comical to watch them scurrying like a bunch of rats to bring in every insidious piece of legislation they can, at a time they think no-one will notice, i.e. a Friday night! Re the Fast Track Approvals Act – there are no boundaries – it allows for:
*decisions within 60 working days
*no public participation or expert input
*no environmental oversight
*irreversible damage to our oceans, rivers, forests and wildlife
*widely opens our doors to filthy mining – some on conservation land
*more benefits to big business
*more destruction and deaths
[do you need more?]
So where are you MEDIA? Where are you COMMON DECENT FOLK? Do PEOPLE LIKE YOU have a heart a soul? Can the enablers look in the MIRROR and ACCEPT WHAT THEY HAVE BECOME? I’m sickened to the core. Stop being so pathetic! Stop doing a Luxon and pretending it all away! But never mind, it’s almost Xmas and you can flit off overseas for your well-earned holiday! Well done; shame about our country!
