Where Is The Honesty Among Our Representatives?
OPINION: A founding principle of Groundswell NZ is that farmers, and people generally, should be provided with full and accurate information about regulations that directly affect them.
Fear not though, they seem to have their mojo intact, raising the alarm about the Gore District Plan, now out for consultation, which proposes to classify the entire Gore District under part of Section 6 of the RMA.
In this case, iwi could claim the entire district as 'sites of significance' - a massive overreach.
Groundswell notes this might sound like an issue in just one part of the country, "but this sort of thing is being pushed across the country and the stakes are enormous. Your council could, and quite possibly will, be next".
