Thread: Conservation Minister. out hunting with NZGAC

I agree with the positive sentiments regarding the current minister, but I dont think that minister Sage was that bad or deserved of all the negative sentiment, she was totally honest on her position which is rare in any minister and she reached an agreement on the Tahr cull that has been fare and acceptable to all parties.

She didn’t act in good faith doing things like using a policy document from the 1990s to back up her decision . She probably wasn’t going to compromise until she realised how strong the backlash was and lawyers and the courts got involved. Good riddance .
