We are losing our native fresh water fish that’s the deal. Greens will be greens. You gave them the inch, now they’re trying for the mile.
The amendment does not directly target trout nor is it a mandate to eradicate trout. What it does do though is give overriding powers to DOC over Fish and Game. It also allows sports fish to be considered in Treaty of Waitangi claims.
Don’t jump to great big conclusions and then have a great big forum/social media moan or even worse, make a redundant submission.
Best option.
1. Go to Fish and Game website.
2. Find the report by Sir Geoffrey Palmer.
3. Read it (it’s not huge and it’s not hard reading).
4. Take onboard this considered legal opinion.
5. Make a submission and at the same time do your submission for Tahr.

Job done.
Thanks in advance from us fresh water guys.

you nailed it in the first 2 sentences any more than that you are just waffling on and begs the question we need someone that's onto it & just says do this , you were wanging on in the tahr thread how most of us dont even no how to wright a e mail & makes us look stooped so
, personally iv paid for people to write me official letters & reports & electric fish surveys & historic surveys & on it go,s in the past & haply do the same again , we are not all cut out for this stuff the sooner people realise this the better , it takes away a lot of head aches just parting with a few bucks & theirs nothing worse than taking the piss out of people on your side that simply don't no how to put words together.
