❌ Stop the Fast-track 📩

This government is planning to fast-track climate destruction and undermine Tangata Whenua and community decision-making. Thousands of New Zealanders have spoken up about the disastrous Fast-track Approval Bill by making submissions and speaking to select committees. Now the Environment Select Committee is preparing their report for cabinet to suggest amendments - this opens up a short opportunity window to call on the secret gatekeepers that could stop this bill. Email the four National Party Members and tell them to drop the Bill. Appeal to Hon Scott Simpson (Coromandel), Mike Butterick (Wairarapa), Hamish Campbell (Ilam) and Kate Nimon (Napier) to stand with their communities and use their power as the gate-keepers to the fast-track

Tell the four National Party Environment Select Committee members why you want them to use their power to stop the climate-destructive, anti-democratic and Te Tiriti breaching Fast-track Approvals Bill.

Dear Hon Scott Simpson, Hon Katie Nimon, Hon Hamish Campbell and Hon Mike Butterick,

I’m (insert something about yourself) am contacting you today about the Fast-track Approvals Bill. I’m one of the many thousand people who have been speaking out against the bill asking it to be dumped based on it being anti-democratic, anti-environment and anti-Te Tiriti.

I’m deeply concerned about the projects that could be approved under this bill - new coal mines, fossil fuel drilling and fracking, deep-sea mining, mega highways, waste incinerators and much more. This bill isn’t cutting red tape it’s cutting and threatening to destroy everything that is dear to us and makes us unique as a country. These projects could be in my backyard or local forest and there would be no way that my community and I could have a say. Have you considered and talked to your local constituents what they think about the bill?

As the Environment Select Committee is preparing a report for cabinet, I urge you to keep in mind your power to make this bill go away. While neither of you will be the ones to approve projects you’ll be guilty of having enabled them. You’ll have blood on your hands.

I urge you to please ask cabinet to drop the Fast-track Approvals bill and investigate better ways to serve our communities.

Regards,
