Greenpeace have labelled the Government 'climate extremists' over their plan to repeal the oil and gas exploration ban.

The organisation erected a billboard near Parliament in Wellington featuring Chris Luxon, Winston Peters and David Seymour.

Executive director Russel Norman says New Zealand is transitioning away from fossil fuels- and the Government should help that transition along.

"You can see the electrification of transport starting, and that's where we need to go. Turning the clock back to the 1950s- as if we're going to do that- is ridiculous."
