National, ACT and NZ First have taken over $1 million in political donations from agribusiness-linked donors since 2022, new Greenpeace analysis reveals.<\/p>\n\n

The finding is part of Greenpeace\u2019s 2026 election scorecard<\/strong><\/a>, which exposes a stark divide between the parties over the future of New Zealand\u2019s rivers, oceans, climate and conservation land.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace says the figures should \u201cset alarm bells ringing\u201d, following revelations about Fonterra\u2019s secret lobbying<\/a> of the Government over the Smith climate case, and recent reports that major agriculture lobby groups privately lobbied Ministers<\/a> for changes to new environmental laws – many of which were subsequently adopted.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace campaigner Gen Toop says: \u201cOur scorecard shows voters have fundamentally different choices for nature this election. Some parties are promising to restore environmental protections and tackle pollution, while others want more mining, fossil fuels and ocean exploitation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

National, ACT and New Zealand First received the lowest possible grade each scoring an F<\/strong>, while Labour scored a C<\/strong>, The Opportunities Party a B<\/strong>, and the Greens and Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori received an A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

\"a<\/figure>\n\n

The scorecard looks at some of the biggest environmental decisions facing the next Government. It also puts political donations from major industries alongside the parties\u2019 policy positions.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe included donations data because people deserve to know which companies and wealthy individuals are funding the political parties vying for power this November,\u201d says Toop.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIf you follow the money, a disturbing pattern emerges. The parties taking money from agribusiness, fishing, mining and fossil fuel interests are the parties promising policies that benefit those industries at the expense of our environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The analysis shows since 2022, National, ACT and NZ First have collectively received $1,143,659 <\/strong>from agribusiness interests, $345,980 <\/strong>from mining interests and $314,261 <\/strong>from oil and gas companies. National and NZ First collectively received $172,812 <\/strong>from commercial fishing interests. <\/p>\n\n

ACT alone received $771,761 <\/strong>from agribusiness-linked donors. ACT MP Simon Court is also the Ministerial Under-Secretary overseeing RMA reforms that environmental groups warn will gut protections against agricultural pollution, while ex- president of Federated Farmers, ACT MP Andrew Hoggard, is Associate Minister of Agriculture.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cBig industries may have deep pockets to pour into political donations, but ultimately voters decide who gets to govern,\u201d says Toop.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis election, voters have the power to choose whether our rivers, oceans, climate and wild places are protected, or whether the industries profiting from their destruction continue to get their way.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t
