The bill also fails to recognise that for over 30 years, there has been strong public support for the prohibition on logging in section 30 of the Conservation Act 1987. That prohibition on logging was put in place for very good reasons, because when Te Papa Atawhai—the Department of Conservation—was established in 1987, it brought all of the "green dots" that were spread throughout the Forest Service, Department of Lands and Survey, and the Wildlife Service together into one agency. We had had the Forest Service, which was trying to be a multiple-use agency. On the one hand, its environmental forestry arm was encouraging recreation on public land, and, on the other, it was napalming indigenous forests, rimu forests, in the Buller and elsewhere and converting those into pine plantation. That was enormously destructive.
