2020 National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management repeal called for by ACT's Primary Industries spokesperson, Mark Cameron.
ACT's Primary Industries spokesperson, Mark Cameron, calls for the full repeal of the 2020 National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management, implemented by the previous Labour Government, arguing it puts excessive pressure on farmers. The policy centralizes control from Wellington and introduces stringent rules, leading to more restrictive regulations by regional councils. ACT proposes a locally adapted, science-based approach and more flexibility for district councils while emphasizing the need to protect agriculture from ongoing negative effects.
