I rise to speak on the Overseas Investment (Forestry) Amendment Bill. This is a bill that the National Party supports. It amends the Overseas Investment Act 2005 to ensure that overseas investments that result in the conversion of farmland or other land to forestry benefit New Zealand and that any risk can be better managed. The amendment will limit the special forestry test to applications for the acquisition of land that is already being used exclusively or almost exclusively for production forestry. It will no longer be available to acquire land for forestry conversions or for the acquisition or establishment of permanent carbon forests. Those applications will need to be considered under the standard "benefit to New Zealand" test.
