Another Southland major project looking like a non-starter. Cannot seem to catch a break, though I feel some of our "leaders" might be the root of the problems?

Nah protecting our environment is pretty important. Kāi Tahu dairy farms have already done enough damage!

Agree. If Aquaculture is done right it can be okay, but this is Southland and that is NOT, sadly, their way. There is still plenty of "Mud Farming" going on this year, but the local Regional Council, Environment Southland cancels all winter grazing abatement notices. When I drive around I see plenty of areas of concern, with mud clearly running into streams and rivers.
