This Govt is recruiting more gangs than police, creating more victims than prisoners, & the Police now say "arrest is now the exception".

Thank you for your service Lou. You have made a significant and valuable contribution to the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai over many years including the past eight years as Director-General. I wish you all the best for the future. 🌿🌱🍃

BNZ executives notified me this morning that branches in Geraldine, Waimate and Cromwell will close. This is disappointing following last year's pledge that they would not close any regional branches. I have sought further clarification from them and requested an assurance that..

I’m very happy with the portfolios I’ve been given by National leader @JudithCollinsMP. I’ve enjoyed being the party spokesperson for Conservation this year and look forward to continuing that work. I’m also excited to take on the role of Assistant Speaker.
