Press Release: Greenpeace New Zealand

Greenpeace will put the New Zealand government on the ‘hotspot’ from 9am on Monday, October 2.

Greenpeace is targeting the nation’s decision makers with a high- profile, colourful activity outside the Beehive to encourage them to strengthen New Zealand’s position during an up-coming international convention that will have profound impacts on the future health and well-being of New Zealanders and the rest of the world.

An interactive site on Greenpeace New Zealand’s website (www.greenpeace.org.nz) will go live during the morning. The issue will be kept live nationally by an eight-centre nationwide tour.

More details will be released once activists are on-site.

Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti.
