#BHN Gang Laws before Select Committee | Changes to the RMA harmful | What is the frontline?

New gang laws are before the select committee currently. Criminal lawyer Arama Ngapo is submitting on behalf of people associated with the Mongrel Mob and argues these laws could disproportionately affect some groups. The Opposition says proposed changes to the Resource Management Act (RMA) reflect "an absurd dereliction of duty" from the Government. The Green Party's environment spokesperson Lan Pham said the RMA changes would "accelerate the decline of our natural world and add fuel to the climate crisis fire".
