Mana Taiao Tairāwhiti spokesperson Manu Caddie said their “main message” to the council was that it did not have to “pander to the industry”.
Green Party statement on a green rock-textured background. White text block reads: “Our hearts are with whānau and communities impacted by climate change-charged extreme weather across Te Tai Tokerau and Te Tai Rāwhiti throughout this week, through to last night. Some have lost loved ones. Some are still waiting for news. Others have lost homes, livelihoods and whenua. All of us are connected, and our support is standing by. This clean-up will take a lot of time and effort. We mihi to the regular people, marae, iwi and services who just got things done and looked after each other. These expressions of care and compassion in crisis are exactly what we expect to govern our country. We will be on the ground to help with the clean-up and will continue using every ounce of energy to build resilient, sustainable homes, infrastructure and country we all need and deserve.” Signed: “Ngā manaakitanga, Marama Davidson and Chlöe Swarbrick, Green Party Co-Leaders.”

The Paediatric Society of NZ - representing the clinical field most relevant here - have released maybe the strongest statement of all the medical bodies: “puberty blockers are an established, safe, reversible, and
life-saving treatment option”
1. New Zealand doctors are officially suing to reverse the country's ban on puberty blockers for gender affirming care.
“These regulations are being enacted based on politics, not on clinical evidence."

BREAKING: PATHA has filed an urgent injunction in the high court seeking to prevent the puberty blocker ban from coming into force, as part of an urgent judicial review we are seeking to overturn the ban entirely.
Doctors and parents should make decisions about what is best for their kids health - not politicians. The Government has said doctors cannot give new prescriptions of puberty blockers to children who are suffering from gender dysphoria. That is putting kids at risk.
BREAKING 🚨: Over 68,000 people are being driven from their homes every single day by floods, drought, and heat they didn’t cause.
Entire communities erased while world leaders debate our lives.
This isn’t a crisis, it’s violence, and it's happening right now.

Comment: NZ's hard-won national reputation for actions based on principle and doing what is right suffered a major blow last weekend, writes Peter Dunne.
Like Trump, Luxon is trying to gerrymander the system by excluding the votes of 100,000s of NZers. He claimed it was to speed up the vote count, but the Electoral Commission says it will not. So now he is insulting the Electoral Commission. Yes, again, just like Trump. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
