What is the Fast-track Approvals Bills?
It creates a process to speed up approval for
“significant” development and infrastructure projects,
and:
• Puts a lot of power in the hands of three Government
Ministers
• Gets rid of legal protections for our environment
• Disrespects Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Why should we be concerned about this Bill?
The Bill concentrates a huge amount of power in the
hands of just three Ministers.
There is no Te Tiriti clause, and very weak protections
for Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
The Bill discriminates between settled and unsettled
Iwi.
This Bill could do real damage to the environment.
