Our cooperation agreement with the Labour Party has delivered significant investments in people and in planet in today's Budget. Last term, we helped to turn around decades of underfunding for conservation, which had seen the health of our forests, the rivers, and the birds in decline. There is a long way to go yet, but we do welcome today's commitments to fund new work to protect our forests from the damage that's caused by wild deer and goats; renewed investments in Tiakina Ngā Manu to protect our taonga species; and investment in huts and tracks so that more people can have the opportunity to spend time and enjoy nature by walking or tramping or hunting or fishing or mountain biking.
