I call on the Select Committee to recommend the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill not be passed.

I oppose this Bill because it:

  • Is a significant step backwards in Aotearoa’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis, undermining our commitments to reduce emissions
  • Is inconsistent with the scientific evidence, which shows every country must rapidly phase out fossil fuel consumption, and stop drilling new oil and gas fields to limit the worst impacts of climate change
  • Risks our oceans and coastline with devastating oil spills
  • Will cause major harm and destruction in the marine environment through seismic blasting.

Sign on this page to send your quick submission to the Select Committee on the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill. Fossil fuels are not our future.

The Government has introduced legislation to overturn the offshore oil and gas ban. This is dangerous and irresponsible in the midst of a climate crisis, where we need to be taking all steps possible to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
