The details are still to come, but from what we know so far, it appears the Government plans to suppress the public and tangata whenua input and cut them out of decisions that will have profound impacts on the environment and communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The proposed Bill&#8217;s content is still not public, but there are indications that it would allow Ministers to bypass the Resource Management Act, the Conservation Act, and the Wildlife Act to approve developments with minimal public consultation or engagement with tangata whenua. It has come under fire from environmental groups, law experts, and iwi and hap\u016b.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Government has launched a war on nature, and the fast-track consenting bill is just the start of it. Later this year, Luxon also plans to gut freshwater protection laws which will give free rein to polluting industries, like intensive dairying,\u201d says Toop.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone should be able to access safe drinking water and swim in clean rivers, but fast-tracking dams and mega dairy farms will mean more New Zealanders face contaminated water and unswimmable rivers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re calling on Luxon\u2019s Government to scrap the fast-track bill.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout   sticky-bottom-mobile collapse show\"\n\t\t\tid=\"action-card\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/tell-prime-minister-christopher-luxon-to-stop-the-rollback-of-freshwater-protection\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/2f312a91-r3cc4393-preview.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/2f312a91-r3cc4393-preview-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/2f312a91-r3cc4393-preview-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/2f312a91-r3cc4393-preview-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/2f312a91-r3cc4393-preview.jpg 800w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Greenpeace Aotearoa installed a giant, working dairy effluent tap on the lawn of Parliament in response to the Luxon Government&#039;s introduction of the Fast-track Consenting Bill which is expected to remove barriers to the dairy industry polluting fresh water.\" title=\"Greenpeace Aotearoa installed a giant, working dairy effluent tap on the lawn of Parliament in response to the Luxon Government&#039;s introduction of the Fast-track Consenting Bill which is expected to remove barriers to the dairy industry polluting fresh water.\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/tell-prime-minister-christopher-luxon-to-stop-the-rollback-of-freshwater-protection\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTell PM Luxon to stop the war on nature\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/tell-prime-minister-christopher-luxon-to-stop-the-rollback-of-freshwater-protection\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Send a message\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"not-now\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#action-card\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Parliament today, Greenpeace activists have installed a giant tap pouring cow effluent outside the Beehive.
