Keep Aotearoa Incinerator Free!Waste incinerators: coming soon to a town near you? Thanks to the efforts of people from all walks of life, we've managed to keep Aotearoa free from dirty waste incinerators so far.

Support the Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions BillTēnā koe Vanessa, As constituents in your electorate, we write to express our deep concern regarding the ongoing and systematic violations of human rights committed by the Israeli regime in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). The United Nations General Assembly—supported by the New Zealand government—has deemed this occupation a violation of international law. In light of these grave concerns, we respectfully urge you to support the Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill. This legislation provides an important and lawful mechanism for New Zealand to uphold its commitment to human rights and international law. We believe New Zealand's failure to respond proportionately to the mass atrocities in Gaza risks rendering us complicit through inaction. As a democratic nation that upholds the principles of justice and human dignity, we must act decisively to prevent further suffering. Supporting this Bill is a meaningful, concrete step toward that goal.219 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Katrin Millener

Stop Legalised Killing of Protected WildlifeWe, the undersigned, call for immediate action to strengthen the Wildlife Act 1953 to prioritise the protection of Aotearoa New Zealand's unique species and remove clauses from the Act which fail to protect native species. We ask that you review the Wildlife Act 1953 to ensure that the primary purpose of the Act is to explicitly protect indigenous and endemic species and their habitats including: • Removing the provisions that permit development interests to override the protection of native wildlife. • Eliminating authorisation powers for killing protected species for development purposes, so that officials or Ministers cannot allow the death of rare, at-risk, declining, threatened, or endangered species..1,065 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Coromandel Watchdog

Protect Our Youth – Ban Vape Shops in the Far North DistrictKo mātou ngā waitohu i raro nei, e tono atu ki Te Kaunihera o Te Hiku o Te Ika kia tiakina te hauora me te oranga o tō tātou hapori, mā te whakatau ture kia oti katoa ngā toa haurehu, ā, kia rāhuitia te hoko haurehu i ngā takiwā katoa o te rohe nei. We, the undersigned, call on the Far North District Council to take urgent action to protect the health and wellbeing of our community, by immediately passing regulations to close all Vape shops and ban all Vape sales in all districts. As parents, we care deeply about the long-term health and wellbeing of our tamariki. There is a shortage of doctors and dentists in the Far North, and healthcare services are stretched thin. We must ensure that our tamariki do not have access to products that contribute to addiction, respiratory illness, and other serious consequences [1,2]. Our children should be able to attend kura without having to walk past multiple vape shops. In the main streets of Kaitaia and Kaikohe, there is a vape shop nearly every 40 meters. While selling vapes to children under 18 is illegal, it is still happening; in fact, the Ministry of Health found that 1 in 10 vape retailers sells to minors [4]. Vaping is harmful to everyone's health, but it poses even greater risks to children whose brains are still developing [5]. Our local area is a good place to start with these policies. As a youth health worker in Kaitaia stated, “I think a more achievable first step is to lobby our local council to introduce a bylaw that bans sales in our rohe. If we can make that happen locally, it could help build a strong case for national policy change.” These vape outlets have spread rapidly across Muriwhenua, and we are already noticing signs of addiction in our rangatahi, along with a new wave of health issues on the horizon.304 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Te Wananga o Te Rangi Aniwaniwa

Properly staff and resource our HospitalsWe are calling on the Government to address the inadequacies in our failing health system. There is a lack of action and a need for a bipartisan approach to healthcare and to address the state of staffing issues. This petition seeks to address the failing state of our hospital infrastructure, and the need for the Government to build facilities that are fit for purpose. The public needs transparency, information and engagement regarding investigations and reports on these issues. ACTION 1: Ensure that all hospitals in New Zealand are properly staffed and resourced to meet the needs of their communities, now and into the future. ACTION 2: Those hospitals that need rebuilding, such as Nelson Hospital, are rebuilt to meet the needs of the local community, now and into the future. ACTION 3: Publicly release all independent and internal reports into care at Nelson Hospital as well as all reports into healthcare provision in New Zealand, to provide full transparency to the public on issues of care within hospitals and the healthcare system.368 of 400 SignaturesCreated by daniel walker

Protect Waipiro Bay: Do not fast-track approve the proposed 200–250 Berth MarinaWe call upon the responsible Ministries and their respective Ministers to decline Application FTA229 and refer it to the standard Resource Management Act (RMA) consent process, where robust environmental assessment, public participation, and mana whenua engagement are properly upheld. Submitted on 3 May 2024, the application to build a 250-berth marina is fundamentally flawed and fails to meet key eligibility criteria required for referral and approval through the Fast-Track process. It also breaches legal, environmental, and cultural requirements under both the Fast-Track Approvals Act and the Resource Management Act (RMA). It further ignores matters critical to our community, our vulnerable environment, our cultural landscapes and our way of life in the Eastern Bay of Islands. The proposed Waipiro Bay Marina development is based on a flawed and misleading economic assessment. The application inflates projected demand and misrepresents existing data. Currently, Northland is home to nine marinas with a combined total of 1,575 berths. An additional marina is under construction in Whangārei, which will initially provide space for 117 vessels, with spaces still available. Also, according to NRC data, 46 berths are currently vacant and available across Northland, including 20 at the nearby Ōpua Marina-just a 49–56-minute drive from Waipiro Bay. Many of these berths remain vacant throughout the year and are being offered at discounted rates due to persistently lower demand than previously anticipated, which is a clear regional trend the proposal fails to acknowledge. In addition to marina availability, Waipiro Bay already accommodates 62 moorings, with neighbouring Parekura Bay holding a further 69. These have been introduced incrementally over time, allowing the local community and natural environment to adapt without overwhelming visual or ecological disruption. By contrast, the proposed 250-berth marina would nearly triple the current number of vessels in the area—from 131 to 381—an increase of over 80%. This would result in a sudden and dramatic escalation in boat traffic and density, significantly altering the visual landscape and placing immense pressure on the marine ecosystem. The adverse environmental consequences—particularly to biodiversity, water quality, and the ecological balance of the inlet—would be immediate and long-lasting. Critically, the application also bypasses public consultation, Māori landowners of whenua Māori around the proposed development site and inlet, denying local residents and mana whenua the opportunity to meaningfully participate in decisions about the future of this coastal taonga. It disregards Māori rights and interests protected under Section 7 of the Fast-Track Approvals Act, including obligations relating to Treaty settlements and recognised customary rights. Furthermore, the proposal fails to meet the criteria outlined in Section 22 of the Fast-Track referral criteria of the Act, which require projects to demonstrate clear and significant national or regional benefits and alignment with strategic priorities, such as support for primary industries (Section 22 (2) (v)). Notably, the proposed marina site is located within an aquaculture exclusion zone—where aquaculture operations are not permitted—placing it in direct conflict with established regional planning provisions. We call for this proposal to be declined under the Fast-Track process and instead referred to the standard Resource Management Act (RMA) consent pathway, where robust environmental scrutiny, public participation, and mana whenua engagement are guaranteed. The proposed development does not address local iwi and hapū concerns and does not consider the potential impacts on local hapū and Iwi in accordance with the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act (MACA). If Application FTA229 is referred by the Minister to an expert panel under Schedule 2 of the Fast-Track Approvals Act and subsequently approved, the Government risks breaching multiple legal and constitutional obligations. These include statutory duties under the Resource Management Act, particularly those relating to environmental protections, planning consistency, and public participation (Section 6 (a, b, e & f), Sections 12 & 17). It would also contravene key provisions of the Fast-Track Approvals Act itself—specifically Section 7, which upholds Māori rights, Treaty settlements, and recognised customary interests, and Section 22, which requires that projects demonstrate clear, significant, and regionally or nationally beneficial outcomes aligned with strategic priorities. Furthermore, proceeding with this application in its current form would be inconsistent with the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including active partnership, meaningful participation, and protection of our taonga. It would override existing regional planning instruments—such as aquaculture exclusion zones—without proper due process, setting a dangerous precedent for coastal development and undermining the integrity of New Zealand’s environmental and planning framework.14,453 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by BOI Ipipiri Community
