Could you imagine useless Eugenie Sage doing this? Looks like a good initiative from the current Conservation Minister.... At least it seems she has an open mind. Plus; she is known to fish and gather for her family. Especially worthy when you think she has just returned to work after cancer treatment. Not a Labour fanboy, but giving credit when it's due
...wait for what? Still wouldn't vote for her mob.Quote:

People should take this as a good thing. Her electorate is quite rural and a lot of people rely on bush tucker. If she pisses them off by killing everything that moves her reelection is harder.
So she is much more likely to be reasonable and have an open enough mind to allow GAC and NZDA to sway her into choosing the middle ground as opposed to sage who rubber stamped whatever twig and tweet wanted.
Wholeheartedly agree....but as good as it might be....still not voting for the Red mob...She will tow the party line above all else.Quote:

More points is she’d used a 308!:thumbsup:Quote:

I cannot see such an iniquitous action occurring. "DoC Estate" is no such thing. DoC is only a delegated administrator of a portion of NZ PUBLIC LAND- Our Land.Quote:

They are all too parochial to recognize differing needs based on constituents or even when a good idea happens to be floated by any party that doesn't have the same skunk stripe as them.Quote:

The Herald ran an article about a successor for Adern as leader of the Labour Party and she was named as one of the top 2 contenders. The other was that McAnulty (sp) from the Wairarapa.Quote:

While her politics suck, its good to have a minister who grew up hunting and her family are hunter gatherers.
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 .Quote:

Instead of machines targeting stags in the open above the bushline late Jan early Feb on Doc estate, copying the Tahr model would be a lot more palatable. Alpine are the worst offenders IMO flying through all the top trophy areas pre roar and creaming off the big fat stags - no doubt in my mind that previous ministers have looked at this as a good earn of overseas funds.Quote:
