Hon DAVID PARKER: We believe that New Zealand is not so impoverished that we can't afford to clean beaches and clean rivers, so in the coming months, the Government will introduce new standards to improve water quality in New Zealand. We've already made some announcements in the urban and more coming for rural. In summer, we believe that New Zealanders deserve to be able to put their head under water, whether it's in a river or at the beach, without getting crook. We also need to ensure that New Zealand maintains and improves upon our clean, green reputation to maximise the value of our exports in increasingly sophisticated and discerning international markets. These standards will be the outcome of years and years of consultation and discussion over successive Governments, but it's this coalition Government that will halt the decline and set the country on the path to clean up our waterways within a generation.
