The oil exploration industry won\u2019t risk coming back to Aotearoa because they know that it\u2019s not worth coming all this way to fail again.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;For nearly a decade under the Key Government, together with iwi and hap\u016b the length of Aotearoa, we fought tirelessly to push oil company after oil company out of the country and we s\ucceeded. Oil and gas won\u2019t win in Aotearoa.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;OMV, Anadarko, Statoil and more, wasted years and millions of dollars in a futile attempt to get a foothold here and they know they\u2019d face even more resistance now, so they won\u2019t be back because of this government\u2019s flip-flop.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Yesterday\u2019s protest showed the coalition Government\u2019 that they face a massive backlash from across the political spectrum and are now faced with a no-win situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;They must either ignore the will of the people and risk being a one-term Government or they must stop their reckless attacks on nature, and throw the fast track bill in the bin,&#8221; says O\u2019Flynn.Tens of thousands of New Zealanders have signed Greenpeace\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/petition.act.greenpeace.org.nz\/climate-resist-oil-gas-exploration-open-letter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open letter to the oil industry<\/a>&nbsp;pledging to resist if the government overturns the offshore oil and gas ban. &#8220;Just this week we\u2019ve seen the oil industry cave to pressure in Taranaki and move their conference to online only to escape a planned protest by climate activists and the community. The industry is on the run,&#8221; says O\u2019Flynn.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;This movement will only get stronger because the vast majority of New Zealanders do not want nature destroyed for profit, they do not want oil, gas and mining companies given secretive shortcuts around environmental protection, and access to conservation land, and they will not sit by and watch Christoper Luxon wage a war on nature.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-61546  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
