What we also saw was neighbouring Department of Conservation (DOC) land run rabid with gorse, broom, wilding pines, rabbits, feral goats, and deer, and here is the rub: this bill has been very clearly written by bureaucracy that does not understand this very specialised system of hill country and high country management and the preservation of those local ecologies. This is a bill that is ideologically driven. It is devoid of any understanding of any practical, pragmatic implementation whatsoever. It is, as usual, a top-down approach, rather than grassroots driven.
