🗣📢 “My practice spans theatre, performance art & poetry. I like weird stuff, that makes you go, wait; what? With the mounting pressure of the 21st century often causing inaction & passivity, I’m supporting the Carnival for Change because the kaupapa is urgent. Change happens when we can imagine it.”

Our installation represents the waste #cruise ships dump into our precious #moana & mega 4900 person cruise ships, like Anthem of the Seas, produce a lot of waste 💩.

#RoyalCaribbean scored an F on the Friends of the Earth Cruise Ship Report card. 🌊 Our moana deserves better - we deserve better.
A photo of a person with long brown hair tipping a bucket of yuck brown liquid over a pile of seaweed, plastic rubbish, soft toy seals and shells, symbolising the waste that is in the ocean. Behind her is a blue sheet with cardboard images of fish attached. Photo of a group of cruise ship passengers walk along a footpath. The person at the front is being handed an information pamphlet about the impact on the moana from cruise ships, by a woman with a blue shawl. On the right is a pile of seaweed, plastic rubbish, soft toy seals and shells, symbolising the waste that is in the ocean. On the left is a parked green bus.

#Climatebreakdown is here, now. Luxury cruises must end.

🛳️ Anthem of the Seas, Royal Caribbean stopped in #Pōneke last weekend 😣. #Cruiseships are responsible for 25% of the waste dumped in our oceans & present a very real danger to marine mammals.

At the base of the plinth are three people, two are standing holding a large banner, Cruising to a dead planet. A photo of group of people wearing blue handmade ocean themed masks, sitting and standing either side of a pile of seaweed, plastic rubbish, soft toy seals and shells, symbolising the waste that is in ocean. One person is holding a sign that reads, Cruise ships poison our planet. Behind is a blue sheet background, blue sky and green trees in the distance.

🙌 A little more freedom for Rach!
Her bail conditions have changed and she is now on curfew from 7pm - 7am. A huge relief for Rach to have 12 hrs of freedom, as opposed to her original bail conditions of just 2 hrs a day.

🤔 The stupidity of thinking that more coal mines and more fossil fuels is a good idea in a climate crisis.

🤔❓ 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

🚨 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.
