Chris Bishop was pressured into revealing the organisations he sent letters to about the Fast-Track Approval Bill incl. construction, fishing & energy companies. "We've never in the history of NZ seen such sweeping power & overreach by ministers" - Nicola Toki, Forest & Bird CEO

@minnieprickle @jacktame Jack got him to say some of the quiet stuff out load and it’s worse than we thought. WTF is going to happen next? How do we counter this appalling govt which is disrupting our democratic processes on just about every front?

@jacktame So its democratic for lobbyists to influence large-scale projects but its not democratic for citizens to have a say? What BS!

@jacktame Well if there is environmental damage any Minister making the decision needs to be held directly responsible the way company directors are responsible for any wrong doing. Going off this interview it doesn't look like Bishop has been held accountable for anything in his life.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 The liberal establishment has abandoned their base and emboldened Trump to capture voters who are disillusioned with the status quo. We need to move forward to build a legitimate working class coalition... ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

@upokongaro @jacktame "So the lobbyists can get in there, but as a member of the public, I can't ..." !!! 💥Go, Jack!! Oh come on, @cjsbishop , "disruption" is SO 1990s!! The world has moved on!

@jacktame Very telling the response to lobbyists … they way he pauses before trying to justify their overreach

@jacktame Well, looks like the nz government is up for sale. Selling off our environment to the highest bidder.

@jacktame Bishop appeared to think if he fast talked his answers that would be enough to put Tame off. The damage that can be done by late 2026 is enormous. This government knows they’ll probably be chucked out and their donors need their shopping list fulfilled by then.

@jacktame Hey @cjsbishop @NZNationalParty what's the point of having Courts if you simply plan to ignore them anyway? Does that mean I can ignore the Courts too?
