TTR promises $1.5B over 20 years & 77 non-local jobs.They have no mining experience no funds no smelter & no fleet.The tech, jobs & profits go offshore while the damage & mess stay. Unproven extractor relying on political favour to raise capital. When govt falls in 2026 we’ll repeal #noseabedmining

In 2022, Labour voted down my seabed mining ban, choosing industry over environmental justice and tangata whenua.
If they’d backed us then, it wdn’t be in Fast Track today.
We welcome their shift, but when this #onetermgovt gone, we’ll be in, holding them to legislate a ban!

Short-term economic gain cannot supersede our environment OPINION: Aotearoa stands at the precipice of a decision that will have irreversible consequences for one of our least understood ecosystems.

Why seabed mining shouldn't happen, the flaws & errors in TTR arguments, & why the Fast Track law is a disaster - "short-term economic gain cannot supersede our environment." Let's not have our voices "silenced in favour of junk science and greed." #noseabedmining
