We are a grass roots group in Aotearoa New Zealand dedicated to keeping further industrial mining out of the Hauraki, and supporting others with similar kaupapa (values) - some things are just #2precious2mine!

This Fast-track process is hard to follow... the Panel Convenor has decided that the application is too big to consider in the short timeframes allowed, so has added 82 days to enable consideration ofall the info so a total of 112 working days ...

“When we criticise the system, we’re not attacking individuals, we’re challenging the rules that let 3% hoard the wealth while everyone else gets squeezed. Often people overidentify with the system, they think an attack on the govt is an attack on them. It’s not. It’s a defence of the 97%”-RW

Aotearoa is being backed into a corner where we are supposed to be grateful for the abuse these companies dish out.
It's just not right.
It's just not.
They are creating a system where we are expected to look to destructive industries like mining to (give us peanuts) to fund predator control, to research and support internationally significant threatened native species, to create (unsustainable) jobs.
This is a dark time for Aotearoa, and for our environment; we have a Government that has happily put money before anything - before the environment, before community.
So, everyone has been super happy to use the Archey's frog to highlight the horrible rhetoric of this Government. Now y'all need to help us stand up for it - Oceans application is live in the Fasttrack - and us and the frog need all the help we can get!!! #2precious2mine #FriendsofFreddy
Presumably you just drop the word 'no'.
And here it comes.... OGLs Fast-track application to mine nationally significant conservation land and build more toxic tailings dams is public... tell us your thoughts!
WARNING: it's a whopper!

“The donations from the mining industry do not have any impact whatsoever on the changes to the Wildlife Act....” Shane Jones
Just curious, who was alleging that?? NZ First took $14k from Clayton Cosgrove who works for Oceana Gold..

habitat disturbance (those frogs aren't the only thing up there) and fragmentation, the toxic legacy that gold mining leaves and creates, the social impacts of reliance on boom and bust industry, the downstream effects...... etc
I can clarify that we are concerned about a lot more than *just8 the tiny 200million year old frog Mr Jones is so hung up on! There are a range of concerns: impacts on water, on the forest from dewatering in a time of climate crisis and increasing droughts,

You’ll soon be able to read the full story of how this toxic legacy came to be in our forthcoming book, The Price of Gold!
