Jumping through hoops to get at NZ's minerals
"New Zealand urgently needs to ease red tape over exploration and mining, writes Chris Baker.
New Zealand is rich in minerals – gold and other metals, coal, aggregates – yet access to them relies on tortuous regulatory processes that are no-one's fault, and do no-one credit.
We have a system about which the Ministry for the Environment says: When viewed as a whole, evolution [of the resource management system] has resulted in inconsistencies and misalignment between core legislative frameworks."
