Morgan Donoghue: Ours Not Mines co-founder on the campaign against OceanaGold’s proposed mining plan

  • Summary

  • Some of the biggest names in New Zealand music are teaming up in an attempt to stop new mining plans.

    Anti-mining group Ours Not Mines, have launched the Musicians Against Mines campaign to raise funds for their court battle against the OceanaGold mine, set for DOC land near Whangamata.

    25 musicians have donated handwritten lyrics and art, which are available for auction on TradeMe.

    Co-founder Morgan Donoghue says the potential economic revenue doesn't justify the environmental devastation.

    "You could ruin all of the mussel farming, you could ruin all of the fishing, you could ruin all of the Peninsula - all your friends who have their batches in Whangamata and Pauanui and all down there, they could all be totally devalued."
