NZ's PM @christopherluxon is a criminal.

New Zealand’s treatment of climate change in its new school curriculum has been called “incomprehensible” by University of Waikato climate education expert Professor Chris Eames.

Eames says the central problem is not whether fragments of climate-related material can technically be found somewhere in Years 4–10. It is that the curriculum fails to clearly and coherently connect human behaviour with the climate crisis students are already growing up in.

He says climate-related lessons are “scattered” across different years, while the role of human activity in causing climate change remains absent from the science curriculum until Year 11.

“It’s incomprehensible why climate and climate change aren’t mentioned in the science curriculum ... it’s there at year 11 and beyond, but that’s way too far down the track,” Eames said.

He warns that failing to explain what is actually driving climate change can leave young people without the systems thinking, critical thinking and agency required to understand what they are witnessing and how society can respond.

The curriculum change also comes amid a much broader reversal of New Zealand climate policy. Greenpeace has documented the Government cancelling the Government Investment in Decarbonising Industry fund, ending the Clean Car Discount, moving to reopen offshore oil and gas exploration, weakening vehicle-emissions settings and abandoning plans to price agricultural emissions.

And this is not only Greenpeace’s assessment of the direction of travel. In July 2026, the independent Climate Change Commission found that recent Government actions intended to reduce emissions were likely to be outweighed by other actions that may increase them. It concluded that current policies are insufficient to meet the third emissions budget or the 2050 target without further action.

Against that backdrop, Eames’s question becomes difficult to ignore: if schools do not clearly teach young people the human causes of climate change, “where are they going to get that when they leave school?”

It is “Show Your Stripes” day and New Zealand doesn’t look any better than the rest of the world.
These stripes do not look good, but today we should be way beyond acknowledging the reality of the accelerating climate collapse. The only thing that matters is what we do about it.

MAY THE FIRST BE WITH YOU-
A Rebel Alliance strikes back against the Empire.

STOP WARS- STOP THE FUEL CRISIS
FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORT NOW
Karanga-a-Hape Station
6pm Friday May 1st

Our Reality: High fuel prices are driving workers reliant on cars off the roads. Our right wing coalition government rules for the rich and doesn't feel the pain of the cost of living crisis. We need solutions, not excuses.

Our solution: Free, frequent public transport for all, funded by taxes on the oil companies and the super rich.

Our Demands:
Immediate free transport as a climate and cost-of-living solution.
Permanent, 24 hr, frequent and fare-free transit for all, paid for by taxing corporations and billionaires.

Prioritize fuel for essential services, not luxury, while transitioning to renewables. New green jobs in a massive expansion of public transport and rail.

TAKE ACTION FOR NATURE

The Luxon Government’s “war on nature” has met an unprecedented wave of resistance from hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders over the two years since the coalition took office.
From the moment it was sworn in, this Government launched an all-out assault on the environment.
But just as swiftly, New Zealanders stood up. And they haven’t stopped.
Marches, petitions, occupations, court challenges, submissions, rallies, and acts of civil disobedience have confronted the Government’s anti-environment agenda.

Just over 24 hours left to get your submission in against this draconian Bill which would dramatically limit the right to protest in Aotearoa New Zealand.

🔄 @peaceactionwgtn ACTION ALERT: STOP the repression of peaceful protest & free speech now. Make a submission by 6 October.

See @peaceactionwgtn link tree for a guide on making a submission.

The Summary Offences (Demonstrations Near Residential Premises) Amendment Bill is aimed at limiting the ability to protest outside of so-called 'residential premises'.

The amendment is a direct attack on freedom of speech and provides no safeguards for those engaging in protest.

The definition of 'residential premise' is so broad that it would make protest outside of embassies - and many other places - illegal.

The police can simply start arresting people with no warning that their protest may be illegal.

This bill is a dangerous attack on our rights to freedom of expression & peaceful protest.

Make a submission opposing this bill. Submissions close at 2pm on Monday 6 October.
