Incredibly disappointing : Ban on new mines on conservation land mothballed despite Labour majority

Incredibly disappointing : Ban on new mines on conservation land mothballed despite Labour majority Newshub 12/03/2021 © Video - Newshub; Image - Getty. Watch Jacinda Ardern recommit to the promise. The promise to ban new mines on conservation land continues to go unfulfilled, despite Labour being unshackled from coalition politics. That s infuriated those in support of the change, with Jacinda Ardern s party now being accused of lacking political will and vision. The proposed ban dates back to the 2017 Speech from the Throne, when the Government promised there would be no new mines on conservation land .  The Conservation Minister at the time Eugenie Sage repeatedly said public consultation was on the horizon but little was said publicly last term about when the ban would be implemented. In the meantime, mining activities have been approved across tens of thousands of hectares of conservation land.

Matamata-Piako moves into water restriction level three

Tom Lee/Stuff Dry fields as far as the eye can see near Te Awamutu. The long range forecast from NIWA indicates long periods of dry, warm weather continuing through April. A dried-up district in Waikato is moving to a level three water restriction, and unless steady rainfall tops up the local catchment an increase to level four could be just weeks away. The Matamata-Piako District move to level three on Thursday, March 4, meaning a district-wide sprinkler ban will be in force for all water users – Te Aroha, Matamata, Morrinsville, Te Poi, Tahuna, Waharoa and Hinuera. Without significant rain to replenish water supplies, Matamata-Piako District Council’s water and wastewater manager Karl Pavlovich said council needs everyone to conserve as much water as possible, so the district can get through the coming months.

New Zealand Derby to be moved forward 24-hours, could be shifted away from Auckland s Ellerslie Racecourse

Dave Rowland/Getty Images If the New Zealand Derby is held at Ellerslie Racecourse, it will be without a crowd unless Auckland makes an unlikely move to level 1. Racing Administrators remain hopeful that Ellerslie will be the venue for this year’s Group I Vodafone New Zealand Derby (2400m), but a call as to whether the bumper race meeting can proceed at Auckland’s premier course on Sunday will be made as late as Friday afternoon. Should Alert Level status be retracted to Level 2 by the government as hoped, the Derby will be run at Ellerslie, albeit with a limited volume of people on course.
