Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): Thank you for that question. I agree that there's not much point funding things that rely upon continued effort to be sustained, if you can't rely on the continued effort. I sat on the panel of Ministers that approved projects and that was one of the things that we quizzed officials on in respect of projects. That's obviously true of some of the Department of Conservation predator control work in respect of native forests. They assured us that the projects that we were funding were likely to be enduring.
