Energy poverty is rising - and THIS is the government's response?

The govt is helping the shareholders of the fossil fuel industry and the gentailers, when they should be helping lower energy costs through cheap, community renewables!

Militirism is a climate catastrophe.
Come along to blockade of the aerospace summit next week in ōtautahi christchurch. The conference features a variety of speakers who are currently referred to the international criminal court.
Join peace action ōtautahi's blockade at tinyurl.com/BLOCKADEaero...
A poster with a starry space background. At the top, large cut-out style black-and-white letters spell “BlockaDe”. Below, bold yellow text reads: “THE NATIONAL AEROSPACE CONFERENCE 2025!”. On the left side, there’s a halftone-style megaphone with yellow zigzag lines showing sound. To the right, large cut-out letters show the dates: “7–8th Oct”. At the bottom in yellow text: “FIND OUT MORE: BIT.LY/AEROSPACECHC” and in smaller white text: “— PEACE ACTION ŌTAUTAHI”. The background is a starry night sky. At the top right, there is a halftone-style drone illustration. Yellow text across the center reads: “Our friends at Peace Action Ōtautahi are blockading the conference’s close links with weapons and defence companies.” “Speakers at the event include SYOS, who produces drones that are eventually used by Israel to commit war crimes.” “Another speaker is RocketLab, which launches BlackSky surveillance drones that are allegedly used for Israel’s missile strikes.” “Some of the speakers have been referred to the International Criminal Court.” At the bottom left is a halftone rocket pointing diagonally upward. The text “— PEACE ACTION ŌTAUTAHI” appears in white. Again, the background is filled with stars. Yellow text reads: “Not only are many of these companies involved in destructive activity and violence – they also spew exceptionally high levels of climate pollution.” “350 Aotearoa’s position is clear – militarism is a climate catastrophe.” “We’ve been involved in a variety of conference blockades before, some of which have resulted in disruptions or even forced cancellations.” At the bottom of the poster is a black-and-white halftone photo of five young people standing side by side, smiling, and holding a banner.

Luxon wants Labour to commit to 10 years of offshore gas exploration.
Here's the reality:
❌ No major gas find in 20+ years
❌ Gas drives climate crisis
✅ Renewables are cheaper & abundant
Stop doubling down on fossil fuels. Invest in our renewable future. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Luxon’s personal letter to Hipkins appealing for ‘bipartisanship’ on key issue dismissed as ‘political stunt’
The correspondence comes at a critical time for energy developments.

The Climate Change Commission's analysis shows massive opportunities for emissions reductions that actually SAVE money while creating jobs and improving lives - especially in the electricity generation sector! It's not about spending more - it's about spending smarter.

We understand that caring for our planet means caring for all people. The same systems driving climate destruction are displacing communities worldwide. With Israel's war on Gaza producing emissions greater than over 100 countries, we see clearly how climate and human rights crises intersect.

This Saturday, we joined the March for Palestine in Auckland. While the media reported 20,000 attendees, those of us on the ground witnessed what felt like double that number, creating a powerful and peaceful demonstration of solidarity.

Now it's our turn. If we choose to show up in massive numbers this Saturday, the New Zealand government will feel escalated pressure to finally sanction Israel, recognise Palestinian statehood and end New Zealand's complicity in Israel's war crimes.

Here's what we know works: When climate and human rights movements unite, we're unstoppable. Mass mobilisation changes everything. Public pressure works. The Sydney Harbour Bridge march in August brought together tens of thousands and shifted the conversation.

We know that the forces that enable a few to grow obscenely rich by wrecking the planet are the same forces that are displacing and oppressing the human rights of Palestinians. Plus, the climate impact of Israel’s war on Gaza is greater than the emissions from over a hundred countries.
Background image of people at a Palestine rally. Then a phone reminder pop-up that reads "Caring for the climate isn't just about protecting nature; it's about protecting people. It's about standing up for every person suffering, whether from war, climate disasters, famines, or other injustices. " with buttons that read Got it and Okay.

This corresponds to analysis from our reports showing gentailers distributed billions in excess dividends. While underinvesting in renewables - keeping prices high and emissions rising.
Update: Generating Scarcity – How the gentailers hike electricity prices and halt decarbonisation
Key takeaways from the report launched by 350 Aotearoa, New Zealand Council of Trade Union, and FIRST Union.

...we strongly recommend that any policies or moves of this sort are embedded and integrated in a long-term energy strategy. 🔑 One of the reasons we are in this mess is due to successive governments failing to do long-term planning that prioritises people over profit.
