relevant to Aotearoa - the gun lobby here has been working hard here to block a gun register which could track firearms www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Australia was once the gold standard for gun safety. Experts say it’s losing control
Gun numbers have rapidly increased, 3D-printed firearms are routinely seized by police and one state is on the verge of enshrining a ‘right to hunt’ in law

What happens when a Fossil Fuel CEO calls up WINZ, versus when an everyday NZ'er finally gets through after spending 3 days on hold?
This Government has cooked the books. Instead of helping out as the cost of living bites, they're handing cash straight over to billion dollar oil companies.

another reason to give feedback to the Ministry for the Environment right now - we don't want industries to write the legislation!
1/ The latest from Luxon’s War on Nature is a proposal to make it easier for mining corporations to bulldoze NZ's most fragile and precious ecosystems. And the mining industry didn’t just get a seat at the table - they basically got given the pen to re-write the mining rulebook.

I know we have submission overload but this is a chance to speak up to support New Zealand's quite good freshwater legal protections
🧵 The Luxon Government's “freshwater pollution plan” is here. Their proposals would scrap protections for lakes, rivers and drinking water, all to make it easier for corporate polluters to make a profit. Here’s what's been proposed:

MPI are sceptical of other glyphosate residue standards, but haven't done their own risk assessment ... !
They're also just raising the maximum limit of how much toxic Roundup farmers can add so they don't get nervous about adding too much???
