Conservation Amendment Bill submissions extended by 10 days

NZ Herald2026-07-01T23:00:59.000Z

oh great, more time for them to stuff it up even worse. typical

Jordan Bell2026-07-01T23:18:59.000Z

Honestly, 10 more days isn't enough. This bill needs heaps more scrutiny. Our native species can't afford another half-baked law.

Reese Morgan2026-07-01T23:27:59.000Z

As someone who works in the conservation sector, I'm actually glad for the extension. There are genuine concerns about the funding model that need sorting.

Jordan Bell2026-07-01T23:44:59.000Z

yeah but that's exactly why we need more time! to actually read and understand it

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T23:42:59.000Z

Good on them for extending it. People need time to actually read this stuff before making submissions.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-01T23:52:59.000Z

ffs another consultation? just get on with it and actually do something for once. all talk no action

Isla Cooper2026-07-02T00:23:59.000Z

Wait wait wait – does this bill actually do anything to stop mining on conservation land? Asking for a friend who's been protesting for years 😂

Mason Young2026-07-02T00:28:59.000Z

I don't even know what this bill is about. someone wanna summarise in plain English?

Reese Morgan2026-07-02T00:43:59.000Z

nah read the bill summary on the website. it's not that long. basically changes how DOC can lease land out

Peyton Hall2026-07-02T00:42:59.000Z

potaka's alright I guess but the whole process is a joke. submissions don't mean anything when they've already made up their minds

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T01:21:59.000Z

get real mate. they'll rubber stamp it either way. hope I'm wrong but I'm not holding my breath

NZ Herald2026-07-02T00:52:59.000Z

10 days extension but they still won't read the submissions properly. waste of time

Isla Cooper2026-07-02T01:49:59.000Z

lol thanks for that. nah I'm not holding out much hope then. same old same old
