Nick Smith responds to freshwater export petitionWednesday, March 15, 2017
A 15,000 strong petition was presented to parliament yesterday, calling on the government to place a moratorium on freshwater exports. But Environment Minister Nick Smith has rejected the petition, saying it was a farce and was irrelevant to the important discussion on better managing New Zealand’s freshwater resources. Producer Adam Jacobson speaks to the Minister to further understand why he flat-out rejected the petition.
