David Parker announces a plan to tackle freshwater quality. I support any good plan that will achieve better water quality.
But appointing 3 different working groups and indicating RMA changes may be intorudyced in 12 months time or so, doesn´t seem like they actually have a plan they want to implement with urgency.
Worryingly one of the groups is going to be chaired by controversial scientist Mike Joy, but another one by John Penno (of Synlait fame) which I think is a good choice. Here´s hoping for some quick results.

Has to happen. Dairy farmers reducing intensification stocking rates with max nitrate level guidelines etc the obvious first easy win. Ambitious but it needs to be to get things rolling.
The paralympians and funding parity is surely taking the piss. That is the most ridiculous thing I have seen or read in a long time. No way paralympians have the same status as able bodied. For starters there is just not the pool of athletes to compete against. For instance in the swimming they have so many different categories of disability, you pretty much can be disabled, rock up and get a medal. Oh well, Labour onto another loser here.
