Responding to the
announcement of $19.5 million in Provincial Growth Funding
for predator control, New
Zealand Taxpayers’ Union spokesman Louis Houlbrooke
says:
“Regardless of its merits, conservation
spending is not a ‘Provincial Growth’ initiative. Shane
Jones seems to have completely run out of ideas for how to
spend our money. He ought to pull the plug on the fund now,
returning the leftovers to
taxpayers.”
