It's the Great Lumbering Ghost of Gerry Brownlee all over again!
Surely Brownlee and Key got the message from the people of New Zealand when they were told, in no uncertain terms, NO to the mining of our national parks?
Seems not. They're at it again. Bathurst Resources (sounds very British doesn't it), supported by Chinese Money wants to open-cast large areas of conservation land near Denniston on the West Coast of the South Island.
The Minister has to give his consent or otherwise and so here we are looking at the same issue that was so soundly dealt with not so very long ago.
I'm following this latest attack on our national park treasures with great interest and will post as I learn more.
Seems Brownlee is still finding that coal to be very, very sexy.

This is one thing that you CAN'T blame Brownlee for Robert; his sole responsibility is as Minister for Earthquake Reciovery, and his other portfolios have been reallocated.
PS: Coal is money, and money is sexy, especially when you're up to your nose in debt ...
Oh Inv2!
I see why you have things so very wrong - you think coal is something other than coal.
Here, read this. It'll be a shock but someone has to tell you.

You sound greedy. You obviously have no children or grandchildren. Either that or you have no care for their futures.
I think Anon, that Inv2 has faith in a heaven that isn't here on earth. This lets him turn a blind eye to environmental destruction.
