Lets keep the areas in Schedule 4 protected for our future generations. Irrespective of the mining method used the end result is permanent damage to what are meant to be our most prized natural features.
During the third reading of the bill creating Schedule 4 in 1997, Nelson MP and Environment Minister Nick Smith, told Parliament that conservation areas were "no-go areas" for mining.
Added Dr Smith: "This is landmark legislation for the conservation movement in New Zealand. I welcome the bill's progress and, as Minister of Conservation, look forward to not having to consider mining applications in those areas where nature should be able to rule the roost."
butt keep checking many ppl run with a own tax money and run away bank lons and run away as well make some kind of law for them as welll even they are not from newzealand on work permit etc ppl on work permit they run away on a tax money why grab them bring them to a law
Thank you John, for honouring the coalition arrangement with the Māori Party. The "No surprise and Transparency" approach you have established with the leadership is commendable, and I applaude you. This is a very Mana Enhancing process for their constituents, and for the greater good of New Zealand. Tena koe.
Dear John. Please don't open up Schedule 4 land for mining. The mines already operating in NZ are surely enough. I want our beautiful Aotearoa to remain beautiful and green for generations to come.
The foreshore and seabed repeal does not go far enough. The Public Domain proposal is hardly representative of the unique place, Maori have held in this land for the last 1000 years or so.
What is everyone afraid of? Put Coastal land that is currently owned by the state into Maori hands but guarantee all New Zealanders access. Surely after 170 years of Colonization it is the honorable solution.
I'm so proud of John for having the common sense to consider mining. We have so much natural resources going to waste, which if used well, would create a lot of jobs and really help out New Zealand economy.
are you a freemason?

The issue is mining Schedule 4. Don't mine schedule 4 - the National Party developed the legislation that created schedule 4.

John, I'm so dissapointed in you and the National government for considering mining in NZ's national parks. Please reconsider.
