opposition on environmental and cultural grounds

Good to read in the press and on stuff today that Ngai Tahu are going to oppose irrigation proposals for the Upper Waitaki on environmental and cultural grounds.

There are more than 126 consent applications to take water, covering more than 27,000 hectares, and will be heard in CHCH from 25 jan to 9 march.

Ngai Tahu speak on the first day - which is appropriate and correct. Good luck with this fight, we are with you.
