Important context to the #FarmerProtest from Guy Shrubsole. Most farmers won't pay inheritance tax. Note too the blanket coverage of this protest, compared to almost total media silence on #MarchforNature in June, which brought five times as many people to London. #WhoOwnstheLand

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"

Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:

Where were you
@bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social
for the #MarchforNature or the #marchforcleanwater? Many more people were there then farmers today, but wasn’t headline news. These issues affect us all not just some farmers.

Huh, so the initial 20,000-strong, front-page-news, jubilant, peaceful and multifarious #MarchforNature in Tāmaki Makaurau wasn’t *quite* big enough or loud enough or everywhere enough for this government to really hear it?

Noted.🫡💚

The #MarchForNature saw a blending of messages about protecting nature, defending Te Tiriti and stopping the genocide in Palestine.

In episode two of #GreenpeaceLIVE we discuss why that’s a natural, and powerful, convergence.

Well worth a watch👇

Live: Why did 20,000 march for nature?
On Saturday 8th June, more than 20,000 people filled Queen Street in Auckland to March for Nature in protest against the Government's war on nature and the Fast Track Bill. We speak with Forest & Bird's Hauraki Gulf Coordinator, Bianca Ranson and Greenpeace Head of Actions & Mobilisation, Simon Oosterman about what it takes to organise a march like that and what's next for the movement against destructive environmental legislation.

I remain mesmerised by this effigy from the #MarchforNature.

Imagine: only 6 months into being the nominal figurehead, and your coalition is already synonymous with epithets like “ecocide”, “death cult” & “anti-democratic” due to speed-running a slate of unhealthy, extractive, destructive policies.
A larger than life puppet effigy of PM Christopher Luxon, smiling-faced and red-handed, wearing a blue sash that says “GETTING ECOCIDE BACK ON TRACK”

Before, during and after the #MarchforNature, people and their signs filtered out across the central city, enjoying all the good stuff a well-focused gathering of human beings and resources can bring.

(Also probably quite beneficial for the urban economy, eh? These things can absolutely cohere!)
A poster on a pole on Queen St, showing the PM Luxon grinning, with the top of his head replaced by a planet on fire. At Britomart/ Waitematā central train station, a sign saying “Kill the Stupid Bill” propped at the base of a pillar. A poster on a pole on Queen St, reading: “our climate can’t afford private jets”; the tail end of the march passes by. Signs on poles outside a colourful window display (ironically weather themed - for Blunt umbrellas) at venerable upmarket Smith & Caugheys, which is set to close down in the coming year due to the business model no longer being viable. It’s a poignant juxtaposition… especially as there are 50,000 year round central city residents, plus many thousands of students and office workers, who could surely use a walkable department store aligned to their everyday needs?

A few more pics from yesterday’s #MarchforNature.

My overwhelming impression: the general positivity. It may have been outrage that brought us all out into the streets, but the result was a collective affirmation Aotearoa deserves way better than this shady and shonky approach to legislation.
“Honour te Tiriti” says one banner. A surfie looking fella carries a surfboard emblazoned with “Stop Seabed Mining.” People walk, stroll and roll, including with bicycles. A man with a Hundtertwasser flag and a United Tribes shirt, a woman pushing a child in a stroller, others behind walking and wheeling their bikes. Just great vibes. “Veto rip shit and bust” says a banner; also visible, the classic “I can’t believe I still have to protest this shit”, and a parent with two small children carries a “make love not money” sign Things are so bad even the saxophonists were there! A jazz band marching amidst signs saying Fight for Nature/ Skip the Fast attack.

More pics from yesterday’s #MarchforNature in Tāmaki Makaurau. Such a great turnout and good buzz.
A fella with a Shane Jones mask on holding a sign saying “CRONY JONES”, marching with the crowd down Queen St. “Fast track trains not bills” says a sign at the March for Nature. Another says “Hey Shane, I’m here for the blind frogs” More signs: “2 Fast 2 Spurious”, “Let’s Mine Epsom”, and “Stick it up your mineshaft Shane Jones.” People with signs marching past the St James site, covered in colourful graffiti art while awaiting resurrection. One sign reads “Fast track trains not bills”. There’s also a giant Luxon figure with red hands and a sash saying “Getting ecocide back on track”

The crowd was huge, the signs were sassy, and the vibes were impeccable! ✊💚

Some pics from yesterday’s #MarchforNature in Tāmaki Makaurau, as an estimated 20,000 people filled the central city to overflowing.

A super positive, highly energised and life-affirming event. Well done, everyone.
Signs at the March for Nature on 8 June. “Stop Fast Track”, my personal favourite “Hear our voices we enTREEt, and “Fast Profit at the cost of tomorrow” Signs at the March for Nature on 8 June, including “Stop having bad ideas”, “Shame Shane”, and “Watch our oceans, not porn” (there was some civil debate in the crowd about this one… settling on the idea that it’s fine to watch, just don’t do it on the public coin). Signs at the March for Nature on 8 June: “Go sit on a drill bit, Shane Jones”, and “Fast track the next election” A small child at the March for Nature on 8 June, holding a sign drawn on corrugated cardboard, which reads: “Kiwi’s sad because this government is bad”alongside a picture of a crying kiwi.

Corporate Greed Will Destroy Our Planet — Unless We Fight Back ✒️

Fantastic piece up today from Elliot Crossan about the #MarchforNature today
Corporate Greed Will Destroy Our Planet — Unless We Fight Back — 1/200
Greed. It is an all-consuming beast, and it is being unleashed by New Zealand’s new Coalition Government to an unprecedented degree.

Some of the crowd and the great fits at the #marchfornature, Tāmaki Makaurau edition.
Three people (two with faces showing, smiling) wearing cardboard train costumes with captions "Fast-track train wreck", "Fast-track to the next election" etc. A considered use of fleece: as reasonably large two-tone green flowers scattered on a non-fleece coat of darker green. We see the back of the coat, and the wearer has a white bob haircut The back of a cardigan which states "Earth Rocks" and a picture of a hill, with ears a la Mount Manaia or Whangarei Heads. Not shown: the front of a cardy which says "I love fossils" crowd shot at Aotea Square
