👉 The climate which will have 53 million tonnes of emissions from this mine alone, shockingly close Aotearoa’s entire net emissions of just 59 million tonnes.
👉 The community who have no say in whether they want this mine or not thanks to the undemocratic Fast Track legislation.

Climate Liberation Aotearoa @climateliberation.bsky.social · 2d

👉 The waterways impacted by acid mine drainage
👉 The taxpayers whose money continues to go into cleaning up damage from previous coal mining
👉 The local govt, who will again have to try to ensure #BathurstResources doesn’t yet again ignore consents

Who won’t benefit
👉 The entire ecological system that will be destroyed (and that's the kiwi, giant land snails, kākā, wētā, gecko, kōura, rare endemic moths, native earthworms,velvet worms, 18 plant communities, from bonsai gardens of pygmy pine, mānuka and rātā to vast sandstone pavements)

🤔❓ Who exactly will benefit from #BathurstResources proposed open cast coal mine on #DennistonPlateau?

👉 Bathurst Resources, the biggest coal operator in NZ & their 90% overseas shareholders
👉 Short term employment for the local community…unless Bathurst decide to bail again

💚 We couldn't agree more The Juice Media. This govt is determined to f**k over #Aotearoa - turn #DennistonPlateau into a coal mine, kick people out of emergency housing, ditch pay equity, reintroduce oil and gas exploration & sh*t all over Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

⚖️ The actions of the NZ police service are a complete waste of resources and incredibly inhumane. Surely there are better things they could be doing to protect the community.

Please donate to cover Rach and Tāmati's legal fees and to help us to stay in the fight 🙏 chuffed.org/project/rach...

Support Rach and Tāmati. Continue the fight.

After 23 days and nights, Rach and Tāmati are back on the ground, having been arrested at the Stockton Mine site. They have been charged with Trespass and Unlawful Conversion.

🚨 Harassment, intimidation and arrested for an unspecified breach of bail conditions because she didn’t hear a knock at the door in the middle of the night.

Rach has been adhering to her bail condition to a T and yet it’s not enough.

Background of black galaxy with star clusters. Top text, black irregular block with white background - Blockade. Below in yellow caps, The National Aerospace Conference 2025! Underneath this in black irregular block text with white background, 7-8th Oct.
Bottom right - a large metallic grey loud speaker with yellow sound waves coming out of it.
Small text at bottom, in yellow, reads Find out more bti.ly/aerosapcechc. And in white text. Peace Action Ōtautahi.

Our friends at Peace Action Ōtautahi are blockading the conference’s close links with weapons and defence companies.

Speakers at the event include SYOS, who produces drones that are eventually used by Israel to commit war crimes.

Another speaker is RocketLab, which launches BlackSky surveillance drones that are allegedly used for Israel’s missile strikes.

Some of the speakers have been referred to the International Criminal Court.

Not only are many of these companies involved in destructive activity and violence - they also spew exceptionally high levels of climate pollution.

Our position is clear - militarism is a climate catastrophe.

We’ve been involved in a variety of conference blockades before, some of which have resulted in disruptions or even forced cancellations.

🤔 ⁉️ More coal mines in a #climatecrisis? Make it make sense

53 mil tonnes of emissions & destruction of a 40 mil yr old ecosystem - this is what #BathurstResources has planned with their mine on #DennistonPlateau, all with the support from #ANZ bank.

⛏️ ⛰️ At Easter they all took action at Stockton Mine to protect #DennistonPlateau from #BathurstResource planned coal mine. They did so to protect this precious wild space and all the creatures who live there.

Help us out and we’ll be forever grateful, as will the snails, kiwi and gecko. 🐌🦎

😠 This is not only a waste of everyone's time, but it appears to be harassment. The system is designed to be hard and to restrict people's freedoms before they've had a fair trial. And trials take FOREVER here, like years and years.

🏡💤 At 2:16am on the 30th of September the police knocked on the door and Rach did not hear it. She was later arrested for not coming to the door.

Now her records state that she breached bail conditions even though she didn’t. She simply could not hear a door knock in a large house at 2:16am.

Climate Liberation Aotearoa @climateliberation.bsky.social · 12d

Rach has been adhering to her bail conditions to a T, even setting up a baby monitor nearby to hear the doorbell ringing as it’s not possible to hear just a knock in the large house.

Climate Liberation Aotearoa @climateliberation.bsky.social · 12d

🤨 Rach arrested for breaching bail!

Rach’s bail condition is to remain at home. She is not on a curfew between 12-2pm. The police have been repeatedly coming to her house in the early hours of the morning, waking her up each time, to check she is at home.

We won’t sit silent as the fossil fuel industry continues to push their climate-destroying profit machine. Together we have power, lets demand an end to fossil fuel extraction and the protection of our wild spaces.

Yep we are f#cking scared. It’s terrifying to see the effects of the #climatecrisis in our communities, the extreme weather events like flooding, wildfires, superstorms and intense winds that have become our new normal. They are costing us all so much in terms of finances and community...
