This announcement from OMV is Luxon\u2019s opportunity to do what John Key did when he walked away from the Orewa speech: to bring National\u2019s policies in line with what the majority of New Zealanders believe.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEven the conservative International Energy Agency has said that global oil and gas exploration should end immediately if countries are to successfully avert climate catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNo one wants the pollution from our generation to destroy our children\u2019s future. If we are to have a liveable planet, we cannot burn even the existing fossil fuel reserves, let alone look for more.\u201d<br><br>OMV is New Zealand&#8217;s biggest oil and gas producer and was the target of a sustained Greenpeace campaign in 2019. After two Greenpeace climbers scaled the OMV building in Wellington, nearly 30 protesters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/omv-henchboat-occupation-rolls-into-second-day\/\">occupied<\/a> OMV\u2019s \u2018henchboat\u2019, the Skandi Atlantic, in the Port of Timaru for three days, delaying it from heading to a drill site. A week later, over a hundred <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/climate-protesters-shut-down-new-plymouth-oil-giant\/\">people shut down OMV\u2019s offices in New Plymouth<\/a> for a further three days, before converting the building into the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/greenpeace-installs-oil-museum-at-omv\/\">Museum of Oil History<\/a>\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSince this relentless campaign, OMV has repeatedly delayed its plans to do appraisal drilling off the coast of Taranaki. Now finally it looks as though OMV has decided to abandon ship altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace\u2019s campaign to \u201cstop deep sea oil\u201d began when the environmental heavyweight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/greenpeace-oil-campaign-seven-years-in-the-wilderness\/\">answered the call<\/a> of East Coast iwi Te Wh\u0101nau-\u0101-Apanui who faced the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras exploring for oil in the Raukumara Basin. Together they pushed Petrobras out and the campaign continued, successfully pushing out Anadarko, Chevron, Statoil and others with OMV being the last oil major left.<\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the eve of the global climate strike, New Zealand\u2019s biggest oil and gas producer &#8211; Austrian OMV &#8211;\u00a0
