Faster Than the Fast Track:
Farewell, RMA.

JENNA KELLY

"In three very short years, each and every corner of our island paradise, Aotearoa, has been surveyed, appraised, valued, and measured up like a prized cattle. The land we stand on, the seas we rely on, the air we breathe, the rivers and lakes we drink from, live near, love. These are all under threat." + READ MORE

Each reaching deeper into the Earth, pulling up water that’s increasingly saline and damaging to crops. + READ MORE

ENVIRONMENT / COP29 AZERBAIJAN
The Illusion of Progress:
COP’s Oily Grip on our Future.

HUGH ACTON

"The sooner that we come to terms with the truth, the sooner we can be activated into resistance, in whatever form that may take. I believe that the COP conferences are now a distraction that only seek to stall local political organising. They are not worth our precious time and attention."  + READ MORE
