But the events themselves are not the issue in this bill. I'm merely pointing out the large number of adverse weather events that occur on the West Coast. It's the clean up after the events, and my colleague from the Greens suggested it's logging. It's not logging; it's rotting, and what we want to do is utilise the by-product and not waste a thing. We want to be able to remove some of these trees so that we can promote new growth in the area. If the trees fall down on your own property, you can get someone to remove them. If they fall on conservation land, you can't. The West Coast region has the largest proportion of land and conservation estate. Contrast that with the 20 percent that's in the North Island, 40 percent of the South Island is legally protected, and 10.7 percent of New Zealand is covered in 3 million hectares of national parks.
