Huh... right where the #WarOnNature government of New Zealand wants to allow seabed mining? 
Talk about a bad idea that keeps getting worse!

Well of course he doesn't.
The Cameras on boats programme has been successful in holding the fishing industry to account about their unsustainable practices and their reckless exploitation of the oceans.
And we can't have that anymore.
This govt continues its #WarOnNature despite the people of Aotearoa's love for the ocean and desire for it to thrive.

Christopher Luxon's Government wants to fast-track a series of environmentally destructive and economically wasteful projects #waronnature #fasttrackwrongtrack
These projects can be beaten. Here's my report on how community groups defeated one such project the last time the Nats tried fast-tracking: https://350.org.nz/save-the-basin-learnings/ #nzpol #environment #climate
In Samoa, NZ's vessel Manawanui accidentally sunk and trashed the reef there. The response has been subpar.
In the high seas, the NZ fishing fleet is dragging up coral and wrecking ecosystems.
All while bringing back oil exploration, trying to start Seabed Mining locally, and opening protected areas to commercial fishing in the Hauraki Gulf.
The NZ govt is waging a #WarOnNature making us the worst neighbours in the Pacific.
4D Chess?
Or a garage sale of poorly thought out policy and a grab bag of goodies for pleasing the donors, first-in first served?
What’s the point of the Fast-Track Bill?
