Re: Open letter to the Coalition government from NZ Scientific Societies
At least two businesses invited to apply for fast-track consents have donated to the National party, says Labour Party - RNZ
"Labour is warning that allowing just 3 ministers the last word on fast-tracking infrastructure projects opens them up to accusations of bias, especially when political donations might muddy the waters.
Environment spokesperson Rachel Brooking said they had identified at least two businesses on the government's list of organisations invited to apply for fast-tracked consents, which have donated to the National party."

Thanks to everyone who made a submission
Thanks to everyone in this forum who made a submission on the government's proposed Fast-Track Approvals Bill.
More than 15,000 people used the online submissions form that Greenpeace set up and more than 13,000 people used the similar online submissions form that Forest & Bird set up.
That's an impressive number of people given the time allowed for submissions by the government was just a couple of weeks rather than the usual several months.
