While the bill does have heroic intentions—it seeks to provide "Stronger and clearer accountability and transparency of DOC's administration of Crown pastoral land"—we on this side of the House agree with the leaseholders that these changes will actually lead to worse environmental outcomes to these precious parts of New Zealand—for example, this ridiculous new notion that a leaseholder would require consent to eradicate pest plants and noxious exotic weeds such as the likes of gorse, broom, wilding pines, crack willows, grey willows, but it would need to take up "no less than 90% of vegetation cover;". How does anyone interpret that—90 percent of what? If we start to look at the average sizes of these stations—let's say a 10,000 hectare property, for example—under this new rule, a farmer can control only 25 hectares of that 10,000 hectares in any five-year period. This is utterly nonsensical.
