Submissions on the government’s plans to dig up our national parks close tomorrow, and it has apparently generated an enormous number of submissions. RNZ this morning said 35,000; TVNZ says 40,000. Either would make it easily the largest public consultation exercise in living memory. And most of those submissions will be against. The people are screaming; the question now is whether the government will listen.
(If you haven't already submitted, there's a submission guide here, or if you're in a hurry then you can send a quick form-submission here).
