Of course, futuret. People from Greenpeace Auckland are coming down to support us and I think we may even have live streaming on the 350.org website.

Obviously that’s what we’re trying to do here. In addition to the protest, we also have a case in the environment court to force the oil companies to accept better health and safety regulation. Many are withdrawing (Shell will be withdrawing this year) because with proper regulation, fracking simply isn’t cost effective in New Zealand. This is especially true with the recent drop in the oil price.
