Anyone is entitled to make a submission and I would welcome involvement of others so encourage you to do so if you feel inclined".

I informed the GAC chairman the submissions closed March 2018.

I think the Auckland RPMS thing really highlights genuine recreational hunting advocacy is very very limited.

Damn. Yes unfortunately you need to reading the council website regularly to see what’s coming and to be fair most people switch off because Council overwhelms you with endless consultations.

I was guilty of seeing this one come up, but I was too busy and assumed others would submit.
Allgood will hopefully advise if the Committee was actually treated as a key stakholder throughout this.
They surely can’t have been given what’s in the plan and the fact the ballot has opened.
