  1. From Newsroom: 14 New Mines on Conservation Land

    In the past two years, more mining applications have been approved on conservation land than in the two years before the 2017 announcement there would be no new mines on conservation land.
    ——–

    Between November 2017 and the end of January, 21 mining applications have been approved. Fourteen of those are mining approvals on land that hasn’t been mined before. The remaining seven applications approved were issued for land that had previously been mined or were re-issues of previously approved mining access permissions that had lapsed.

    In the two years prior to the announcement, 19 mining applications were approved.

    Fourteen of the approved mining applications were for areas of public conservation land that hasn’t previously been mined. Half of these were on the West Coast.

    A public discussion document on the proposed ban on mining on conservation land was supposed to be released in September 2018. It’s still a work in progress…

    Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage, who had originally said New Zealanders expected to see conservation land “protected from being dug up by bulldozers and diggers”, did not give a date for when the discussion document would be released.

    • Thanks Kheala for bringing this to our notice. My heart drops. Is this country a lemon to be squeezed until it runs dry, by corporations or private equities which are run by machines or wannabe people, who distance themselves from the majority with unearthly visions?
