Tama Potaka: Conservation Minister on the Government's plan to reform conservation law in order to raise money and cut costs

The Conservation Minister says the new planned reforms of conservation law will benefit Kiwi businesses and biodiversity.  It lays the groundwork for reinvesting revenue from charging international tourists - estimated at about $60 million a year - back into conservation land. It also speeds up the Department of Conservation signing off leases and permits. Minister Tama Potaka says this will modernise legislation that was in need of an update.
