Best we’ve seen so far. I fear I’ll be dragged out again for another look …

Deranged plan “would result in an extra 51 million tonnes of planet-heating emissions being pumped into the atmosphere in the years to 2050”. We have 4 days to make submissions ✍️ 💚 🌏 . www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Public given just four days to submit on gas and oil exploration bill

The time for MPs to consider the bill has also been shortened because the government wants the change passed by the end of the year.

Striking today for fair pay for all at Massey University. Our Chancellor Jan Thomas (salary half a mill $+) decided to suspend TEU/PSA members without pay for the duration. As I said yesterday, VC's pay for *four hours* equals a living wage for a week… #TEUonStrike#stopthecuts#TEU#tertiarysector

When a fossil fuel lobby group tells you who they are....believe them. In their presentation to this conference they talked about their existential threat. What about ours? Gas industry boasts about killing proposed ban with lobbying www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Gas NZ went to an international fossil fuel forum and claimed responsibility for killing off a proposed government ban on new gas connections.

Tomorrow, TEU members at multiple universities including Massey will be striking. Massey has not committed to a living wage (LW) for all staff. A colleague calculated that Massey VC Jan Thomas earns more in *4 hours* than someone on LW earns in a week. People are our best asset. LW is a small ask 💚
