ANZ ACTION – 8 August, 215 Lambton Quay ANZ

Let’s keep putting pressure on ANZ to drop Bathurst! This is a nationally coordinated day of action to target ANZ branches and send a clear message that the people of Aotearoa do not support their destructive banking practices.

Let’s show our support by going to the rally at 9.30am, outside the ANZ!

This is organised by CLA and Oil Free Wellington

As Ryan Ward wrote on E-Tangata, ‘This bill includes a frightening principle that sets the stage for corporate interests to trump all public and Indigenous rights‘

We have until 23 June 2023 to tell the Govt what we think about this evil twin of the Treaty Principles Bill.

Emily Writes has a bunch more links to why this Bill passing into law would be terrible for Maori, the environment, and regular New Zealanders (ie non-corporates).

You can read the wording of the Bill, and /or submit via the Parliament website.

But if you’re like me, some help with doing that wouldn’t go amiss. So here are some submission guides, from:

• the PSA
• Greenpeace
• the Green Party
• Kiwis for the Treaty
  

350 Aotearoa, Fridays for Future, Climate Liberation Aotearoa and others will be protesting outside ANZ bank in major centres around New Zealand this week (27-30 May).

ANZ funds Bathurst, the Australian mining giant intent on digging up the Denniston Plateau for coal.

So on Tuesday 27 May, we will be outside ANZ instead of on the Parliament Lawn.

The deets:

• start at ANZ 22 Willis Street at 12 noon
• finish at ANZ 86 Lambton Quay

All are welcome! Bring a sign and/or your voice!

Find out more and sign the petition, on the 350 Aotearoa website

This Tuesday 22 April, come and join us outside Parliament – let’s have an extra-large crowd on this special day!

This Tuesday we are having a special hui instead of our usual protest on Parliament Lawn.

But don’t worry – we’ll be back on the job Tuesday 22 April, which happens to be Earth Day!

Kit and Francesca continue to produce interesting interviews and discussions for their monthly radio show. Last month’s was on theme of ‘massive littles’ – how each step on the way to combatting the climate crisis can lead to positive change.

At our radio show on Sunday 23 February, Kit interviewed members of the then-called Restore Passenger Rail, who have been on trial on charges of endangering transport during their peaceful protests against climate change in October 2022.

They could potentially be sentenced to up to for 14 years in prison.

Listen to the recorded show while its still available!
