SIMON COURT (ACT): So in light of the Minister's assertion that the reforms to the Resource Management Act will be brought to select committee, with all of their attendant problems to be solved before new regulation is passed, the Minister is surely aware that one of his previous reforms or attempts at regulation of water quality, the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater, has included a series of prohibitions and bans on activities that mean that certain activities like earthworks and quarries and clean fill disposal sites which rely on being able to get an earthworks permit in order to clear vegetation, carry out their physical works, and then reinstate that land to a much higher standard, with planting, with constructed wetlands, and with indigenous biodiversity that flourishes as a result—that Minister must be aware that the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater included the term "prohibited" when it comes to describing activities that disturb a wetland.
