The laissez faire approach to principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi is also of concern because our Ng\u0101ruahine Treaty Of Waitangi Settlement has occurred only 7 years ago whereby the Crown apologised then for its serious Treaty Breaches, where is the sincerity of that apology? The potential erection of these hideous structures in our backyard creating eye pollution in relation to our spiritual interaction with our tupuna Maunga is horrifying, we are amenable to them being re-sited closer to the coast. They are 4 times higher than the Hawera water tower, I shudder to think of the noise pollution for those residents within 3 kms of these towers, our Waverly families and those out of Palmerston North know well of those issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Karl Adamson from Ng\u0101ti Haua Hap\u016b says,<\/strong> \u201cWe support Greenpeace appealing the case, Ng\u0101ti Haua had expressed several concerns with the project during consultation, in the context of what the hydrogen was being used to produce (fertiliser) in the start up period of the project we considered this to be \u201cdirty energy\u201d, Hiringa Energy gave the undertaking that the total production of hydrogen after five years would transition to supply the heavy transport industry which Ng\u0101ti Haua accepted at face value, although this has not been guaranteed through the consenting process so it remains a concern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe primary concern to Ng\u0101ti Haua was the location of the proposed wind turbines being used to generate power for the project at a PKW farm located on Kokiri Road. Ng\u0101ti Haua requested that they be relocated as a mitigation solution which was declined by Hiringa Energy citing financial constraints. The issue that Ng\u0101ti Haua has is that a lease agreement between Hiringa Energy &amp; PKW was already in place before wider consultation had started thereby negating any realistic opportunity for Ng\u0101ruahine to assess the cultural impact of the wind turbines,\u201d says Adamson.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Allen Web from Kanihi Umutahi me \u0113tehi atu Hap\u016b,<\/strong> also expressed support for the Greenpeace appeal saying, \u201cThe continued manufacturing of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser including urea is one of many pollutants currently affecting our rivers, waterways, and potable water. With no real certainty on when the transition into Hydrogen fuel will occur this has only undermined the Panel\u2019s decision in granting the project to proceed and shown disrespect to any Treaty Principles. For decades, our people have fought to exert their kaitiakitanga and tikanga to safeguard our maunga, awa, whenua and moana so that the next generation don\u2019t have to. When does it stop?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace has actively campaigned against the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser including urea, which is a major driver of dairy intensity; river pollution; a significant contributor to the climate pollutant nitrous oxide; and is a direct cause of nitrate contamination of drinking water which is linked to cancer and birth defects.<\/p>\n\n<p>In July this

environment campaign in the early 2000s; the Greenpeace campaign to stop Marsden B coalfired power station in 2005; and the alliance with Te Wh\u0101nau-\u0101-Apanui against Petrobras which led to a seven-year campaign that culminated in the end to offshore oil and gas exploration in Aotearoa in 2018. Abel is part of the urban tree protection group \u2013 Mana R\u0101kau \u2013 which emerged from the 240+ day occupation of the Canal Road native tree stand in Avondale that began in 2020. From 2021, as Senior Campaigner for Greenpeace Aotearoa, Steve led the project to provide free nitrate water testing for rural people on bore supplies impacted by dairy contamination. Having first volunteered for Greenpeace in 1997, Abel resigned from the organisation in early 2023 to stand for parliament.","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/author\/sabel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53743"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56337,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53743\/revisions\/56337"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53743"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=53743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
