In New Plymouth this morning - a visit to the offices of OMV, Beach Energy and Todd Energy - these companies have been fuelling the climate crisis for decades.

While a team of Greenpeace activists have locked themselves inside the Agrifeeds storage shed to stop a shipload of palm kernal unloading, two orangutans have climbed onto the roof and deployed a 70m banner.

Te rā o Waitangi ki Taranaki! Join us for a wānanga at Ōwae Marae (Whaitara) on 5th February and an activation on the awa on the 6th. Toitū te Tiriti!

Kia ora, please support this petition in opposition to seabed mining in Taranaki: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/co...

It's so dry inTaranaki. Soil moisture content is down to 12%. The strong southerly winds have contributed to the drought. The awa that usually flows past our house has completely dried up. Instead of watering our gardens, we are irrigating the creek to keep the native fish alive in a small pool.

Parihaka māra is going off this season. Parau kau, tū kau!

Kūmara māra in coastal Taranaki. Pohutukawa flowering. And of course blue skies 😀

Hey journalists, why aren't you writing about the Waitangi Tribunal's priority hearing into climate change that's happening this week? There is info on the Tribunal website - www.waitangitribunal.govt.nz/mi/inquiries... - and a youtube livestream. Please cover this inquiry. It matters! #nzpols

Climate hearing to explore ‘catastrophic Treaty breaches’
In March of this past year, Tuhi-Ao Bailey formally requested the Waitangi Tribunal hold an urgent hearing on climate change issues.

From our whānau to yours: Te tangata tōmua, te whenua tōmuri. There are protests in cities across Aotearoa today against the new government and in support of Tiriti Justice. Let's support this movement for justicr and Matike Mai, or in the words of Rata Pue: "a movement to end the colonial regime!"

It is a pretty bleak election outcome for the climate, for the poor and marginalised. NAct will try to open up more oil & gas exploration in Taranaki & do nothing to reduce agricultural emissions. We are committed to organising nonviolent direct action to oppose further fossil fuel exploration.

How is your day going? Ours ... a bit average. Some egg drove their ute into our gate, drove onto our property & then left. Second time in a month. Last time these racists drove through our fence and then into our Te Pāti Māori billboard. A total bully who just wants to intimidate us.

Morena, an article on our Taranaki Climate Debate this week. "Debate organiser Urs Signer, of Climate Justice Taranaki, ran an intelligent and shamelessly confrontational debate that routinely forced candidates into tight corners."
