Change is a collective effort. There are hundreds of people both inside and outside of Government who have worked on this bill. But there are a few people who I'd like to thank in particular: first, the stellar team at the Ministry for the Environment, who, led by the Secretary for the Environment, Vicky Robertson, have worked under astonishing pressure to get this bill to a place where it can bring about lasting change. They worked alongside the equally stellar team at  and the Ministry for Primary Industries—led by Julie Collins and Ray Smith—to develop the nearly two dozen Cabinet papers that form the basis of this legislation.
