Labour’s positive changes coming for RMA to reverse the ‘rot’that national intentionally changed to benefit the rich investors for profit and charging the public for cost for their right to plan their commercial ‘extensions’ instead of considering environmental consideration.

A Bill to amend the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Act has been introduced to Parliament to ensure those applying for notifiable marine consents for activities within the EEZ pay for the Board of Inquiry that considers their applications, rather than the taxpayer picking up the cost.
“This is about fixing a National Party mistake. The 2017 amendments to the RMA and the EEZ were widely criticises for adding complexity and cost. Worse still, they changed the cost recovery rule and put the bill on the taxpayer. The amendment Act is needed to fix that mistake,” Environment Minister David Parker said.
This cost-recovery provision will not apply to applications for a Board of Inquiry that were made before the amendment comes into force.
“This is proper but does mean that hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars have been lost,” David Parker said.
“We will be introducing a range of other, short-term changes to the RMA over the next year. Some will reverse or correct other 2017 changes, which were always deeply flawed.”
One example is reversing the change that took away appeal rights of applicants and objectors on residential activities and subdivision of land.
“This ill-considered change resulted in some developers submitting applications that they ensured were non-complying in order to maintain their own appeal rights. Restoring their right to appeal on discretionary activities will remove the perverse incentive created by the 2017 law change,” David Parker said.
NOT the mainstream McCarthyist media ( so why were all those Russian diplomats expelled again?):

“US President Donald Trump says he wants American troops to leave Syria. The foreign policy blob surrounding him says differently. So, what exactly are Washington’s goals in Syria? Partition? War for war’s sake? Or a means to sticking it to Iran and Russia? All are poorly thought-out options.
CrossTalking with Gareth Porter, Danny Makki, and Mohammed Cherkaoui.”
Yes Red Buzzard.
The armaments industry urgently wants another war, so we need Trump as he is rational and cant see any gain for our blood split for their wishes.
