A total of 149 projects have been selected for fast tracking through the government's new Fast-track Approvals Bill.
There’s a variety of projects on the list, in sectors including farming, infrastructure, energy, and mining.
The bill has been contentious since its introduction, with many concerns surrounding its potential effects on the environment. 19 projects on the list are mining related, with many of them successfully opposed in the past by environmental agencies, and even the supreme court.
For their weekly catch up Producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about the newly unveiled list, and why some of these projects have been included on it.
They also talked about emails to David Seymours office that were revealed by Newsroom last week, showing the party leader was invited to King Tuheitias Koroneihana earlier this year, despite repeated claims he did not receive an invite.
