The DOC's Resource Consent on Pūtiki Bay w/ Chlöe Swarbrick: May 23, 2022

Auckland Central Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick has revealed that the Department of Conservation has failed to submit a resource consent to  protect native kororā (penguins) at Pūtiki Bay on Waiheke Island. Chloe says the “DOC has statutory responsibilities to stand up for nature and do so in partnership with tangata whenua. It looks like the department has failed on both those counts and ultimately, kororā will pay the price” 

Joe spoke with Chloe on the matter.
