The Green Party is voicing serious concerns over the Government’s proposal to charge for access to public conservation land, released today.

The fast-track legislation passing its second reading in Parliament is another step towards environmental ruin. 

Despite resounding public opposition, the fast-track legislation is being pushed through Parliament with provisions that could have real consequences for people and planet.

The Green Party has condemned the Government’s late change to allow commercial fishing in protected areas in the Hauraki Gulf.

The Government’s fast-track list is another example of its reckless approach to the environment and disregard for due process. 

The Green Party is calling on the public to support the Ngutu Pare Wrybill not just in this year’s Bird of the Year competition but also in pushing back against policies that could lead to the destruction of its habitat and accelerate its extinction.

Our environment remains at risk despite the Government's proposed changes to its controversial fast-track legislation. 

The Government has shown its disdain for nature by undermining and cutting programmes which protect and conserve our environment.

The Government’s resource management reforms will add to the heavy and ever-growing burden this Government is loading on to our environment. 

The Government adding Significant Natural Areas (SNAs) to its already roaring environmental policy bonfire is an assault on the future of wildlife that makes Aotearoa unique.
