“The consequences of these proposed changes would be grave, setting the country and the public back decades in the work to protect and restore the health of waterways and locking in damage where tipping points are reached.

These impacts will be felt most intensely by marginalised communities and the young and future generations of Aotearoa New Zealand.”
