Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has recently returned from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa, also known as CHOGM, where one of the main topics of discussion was the impact of climate change and extreme weather events on island nations. 

While attending CHOGM, Chris Luxon told media and other delegates that he was concerned about rising sea levels and the pollution of water bodies in the Pacific, and that the government was doing “everything they could” to combat climate change and achieve net zero emissions.

Luxon’s attendance at CHOGM and stated commitment to mitigating emissions and sea level rises has been at odds with environmentalists and experts, who’ve said that the government’s domestic climate and industrial policies go directly against the Prime Minister’s statements in Apia, with measures such as the Fast-Track Approvals bill and reinstating of offshore gas exploration preventing New Zealand from achieving net zero emissions and contributing to the very same problems he was discussing.

For their weekly catchup, Oto spoke to the Green Party’s Ricardo Menendez-March about Prime Minister Chris Luxon’s visit to Samoa for CHOGM, and his defence of the government’s climate policies. 

They also discussed a new partnership between Germany and Aotearoa to combat emissions in the agricultural sector, and the Green party’s call to close Youth Justice residences.

This week is Fraud Awareness Week, bringing to light the issue of scamming in Aotearoa and what the government can do about it. Commerce and Consumer Affairs minister Andrew Bayly announced yesterday that the government is looking into addressing the issue with a coordinated response. 

This response will focus on improving relationships between industries and international partners, however Consumer NZ sez this may not be enough. Tuesday Wire host Castor spoke to acting head of research and advocacy at Consumer NZ, Jessica Walker, about scamming in general and what more can be done.

It is a fact that what makes Aotearoa New Zealand an amazing place to live is nature. Our export industries are built off the idea of a ‘clean, green New Zealand’, attracting tourists and food exports.

Greenpeace’s Executive Director Russel Norman claims that “Luxon’s relentless War on Nature burns the natural capital of Aotearoa for short term GDP growth.”

He has called it a ‘war on nature’, and says that the clean-up costs of a coal mine are greater than a full year of royalties that coal companies pay to the government.

Sasha spoke in depth about Christoper Luxon’s continued ‘war on nature’ with Russel, further speaking on international implications.

Greenpeace Aotearoa recently conducted a round of water testing at a series of bore wells in the Ashburton district. 

The tests found that close to one in five private bores they tested were above the Government’s maximum allowable value of nitrate in drinking water, which is 11.3mg per litre, and that nitrate contamination had been linked to a number of preterm birth complications.

Greenpeace have also linked the nitrate contamination to the dairy industry and the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser which leaches into groundwater.

Oto spoke to Will Applebe, Greenpeace Aotearoa’s Freshwater campaigner, about nitrate contamination in the Ashburton district’s water and their calls to the ministry of health to address it.
