South Cantabrians to join A Howl of a Protest against Government regulations

Small said the Timaru District Council had been really helpful by allowing the participants to use Caroline Bay for the protest. Co-organiser of the South Canterbury protest, Jeremy Talbot, said the protest followed a huge amount of stress in the rural community, caused by Government regulations or proposed regulations including land and water reforms and land use rules. Talbot said the new tax on high emission utes was the final straw. Protests are also planned in more than 40 locations, from Kerikeri to Invercargill, and participants are encouraged to bring their dogs with them to make some noise, hence the name: ‘A Howl of a Protest’.

James Shaw says climate transition must avoid sparking yellow-vest protests

This was why a “just transition” was needed. “We will only have succeeded if we transition to our low-carbon future in a way that also helps unwind existing patterns of inequality,” Shaw said. “Because if we don’t, if the transition simply locks in or exacerbates those existing patterns of inequality, then we simply won’t have the social licence to continue the transition. It will become in itself unsustainable. “Witness the yellow-vest protests in France. France is a country with huge public support for climate action. But when the government brought in a carbon tax on fossil fuels, increasing household costs, it faced tremendous opposition, because the distributional impacts of the transition were not managed at the same time.”

Timaru joins Howl of a Protest against new levy on utes

Protests are also planned in nearly 40 locations from Kerikeri to Invercargill and participants are encouraged to bring their dogs with them to make some noise, hence the name: Howl of a protest. “This is a peaceful protest for the Government to take another look at the regulations of the clean car scheme,” Howl of a protest national convenor, Bryce McKenzie said. Valentina Bellomo/Stuff South Canterbury farmer Roger Small says the $3000 levy was a “nonsense tax”. A petition organised by the Taxpayers Union against the car tax had received 29,907 signatures by midday on Tuesday. Taxpayers’ Union spokesman Jordan Williams said on Tuesday that it seems that we actually underestimated the real impact.”
