Anne Salmond has an open submission on the bill.

They show an utter disregard for democracy – ‘of the people, by the people, for the people.’ The bill also declares war on the natural world – which is one we can’t win. https://theconversation.com/5-reasons-wh...ems-227888

This report on submissions received so far in regard to the Fast track bill is interesting and tends to suggest that the bill has some major hurdles and potential future remedial backtracking to look forward to.

These are clearly people who do not care about other people, the environment or the planet. Money is their objective, pure & simple. If they have their way then there will be little left in the end.
To even consider what they intend to do is an indication of the type of people they are. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/5140...er-consent Quote:Stevenson Mining has been chasing consent for a coal mine on a mountaintop site near Westport.

Does the situation in play across the ditch seem similar to how our Fast Track Bill will work, or is it just me?
