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.
After promising an overhaul of the Resource Management Act (RMA), the Government's proposal has farmer groups fuming.
Most farmer lobby groups claim the current plans to overhaul the RMA could make things "substantially worse".
The Government has been harping on about their efforts to make regulations more farmer friendly.
But concerns right across the primary sector shows that some proposals to reform the RMA are anything but farmer friendly.
