TTR - Trans Tasman Resources

Bugger ...but I’ll gladly keep on donating to stop TTR pillaging the oceans off Taranaki

Rather interesting to read the comments from Minister David Parker today where he says balancing the ill effects of our dairy industry on the environment with the obvious economic benefits to the country , will be a very challenging balancing act indeed.
He then goes on to say we have more than enough cows now and the country needs to develop some new and significant industries to fill the gap.
TTR have just what he's looking for, and he is in the position to influence the outcome.

TTR will not be harmful to oceans, certainly not nearly as harmful as the dairy industry is to the water ways now. Its rather ironic that there exist some Maori Corporations operating proudly in the dairy industry but we never hear a bad word about that from the Hawera Maori Party MP Deborah Packer who seems to have nightmares on a regular basis whenever TTR is mentioned.

There is a lot of work going into reducing the emissions of dairy herd without reducing production. It is entirely possible that emissions from the herd will be down 70% 10 years. In contrast, what TTR want to do is use unproven technology to produce an uncertain amount of a commodity, in an environment in which they have no experience. All the while saying that the environment won't suffer any long term damage. There is no comparison.

"Entirely possible..."... prove it.
TTR are merely DREDGING the sea floor....an activity that goes on every day in NZ and around the world. Especially in harbors close to land.

The technology actually is proven...its called magnetics. You may not know it but Fe is easy to extract from its source...in this case sand...without chemicals. Unlike milk production which needs mountains of chemicals. That's called fertilizer. You need to clear your mind ; at the moment its brainwashed. Tree hugger .

Seabed mining opponents outraged by Attorney-General intervention

The outrage appears to come from a belief that the Attorney-General will take a pro TTR approach, whereas it is said to be neutral and confined to points of law raised.

Looks to me like the outrage is intended to show the A-G whose in charge here. That would it seems be the Maori Party. Good luck with that.

In town tomorrow so might pop into the Supreme Court to see how things are going

. Last year the Court of Appeal found that the environment was the bottom line,...that’s the way it should stay
