Here's Marc's graph showing the climate impact of the methane target chance equates almost to Australia's net emissions last year.

No matter where we come from, what we look like or where we live - most of us want healthy farming, clean water and jobs that we can rely on for decades to come.

A regenerative farming future is ours for the taking, and anyone who says differently is lining their pockets by poisoning our water.

But NZers arn't stupid.

There's a reason this government had to quietly release the methane decision on a sunday. National is now polling in the 20s, and ACT's attempts to take over local government just crashed spectacularly, with three quarters of their candidates failing to be elected.

The reality is that big polluters and their pet politicians are peddling lies to us about the food we eat and how we create value together as a country. They obfuscate so they can contaminate our rivers, poison our drinking water, and privitise natural wealth that should belong to all of us.

Federated Farmers response to the decision was released before it was even publicly available, making it clear that the decision was written by the dairy industry, for the dairy industry, who accounts for 1/4 of NZ's emissions but just 4% of GDP @greenpeace.org.nz

What's the rationale here?

If a non-fast track mining application is unacceptable because it will stop a windfarm, surely it doesn't matter under what process that application is made?

The same can be said for many of the other aspects the fast-track is overriding

There are so many fantastic policy experts that can do all this stuff - no need to solely rely on Craig Renny.

This government is dismantling our health systems (and many other systems eg environmental protection, safety net etc)
- this is Labour's time to shine and be loud.

Where is the Taxpayers Union?

The story is also looking bad for indigenous marine species.
