Groundswell NZ Co-Founder Bryce McKenzie delves into significant shifts in New Zealand's agricultural policies, focusing on amendments to the Resource Management Act (RMA) and a notable boycott by Southland Fish & Game.
He explains how Groundswell has been instrumental in engaging with MPs, leading to a positive change in the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management, which now favours local catchment groups over strict regulations.
He also touches on property rights concerns in Gore, stemming from the RMA's impact on areas significant to Māori, sparking debates over land use rights.
