Thread: National creates a Hunting and Fishing portfolio

Just listened to Luxon from Napier. When asked about the Hunting & Fishing portfolio he replied the well being of NZers is paramount and healthy recreation leads to that end. Plenty of opportunity to work in with NZDA Hunts courses and things like that, I think it is a good move and well overdue our sport(s) is recognised in it's own right, plus giving us a seat at the table too with the commercial operators and DOC. Barbara Kuriger has been named Nats DOC spokesperson, she is rural and will be looking to make a decent fist of it to get back up the cabinet rankings. Now hopefully tie in a coalition with Act and bring Nicole McKee & Firearms into the picture and things are looking good and very hopeful for the Hunting/Shooting Community - Us.

Rider, this is posted as an observation not a political type broadcast of any sort. Regards.
