PC1 Pause Looms as Coalition Targets Waikato Farm Rules
A pause on Waikato Regional Council's (WRC) plan change that sets new freshwater rules for farming could be announced in the coming weeks.
ACT MP Mark Cameron obtained special permission from the Speaker, Gerry Brownlee, for rural MPs to do this.
Cameron says it’s a show of solidarity with farmers and the rural sector, and an acknowledgement of the pressures on the sector.
“This includes from laws and regulations originating in our Parliament,” he says.
Cameron hopes to make this an annual tradition.
