COALITION GOVERNMENT’S OTHER FAST TRACK BILL SUPPORTED BY SOME IWI MĀORIA coalition Government bill to automatically extend all marine fish and mussel farm consents by 20 years is supported by fish farm-owning iwi Māori even though other iwi and environmental activists oppose it. The Environmental Defence Society (EDS) and Forest & Bird oppose the bill, which was tabled in response to a “bottleneck” of over 500 fish, mussel and oyster farm consents coming to an end this year. The coalition Government sees the bill as a way of bringing certainty to the industry, and sparing the aquaculture industry the $20,000 to $100,00 cost for farm owners to extend their consents..... www.thepost.co.nz/business/350321068/coalition-governments-other-fast-track-bill-supported-some-iwi-maori
