"Forest & Bird said it was leaving the forum after its recommendations
had been largely ignored by government, and Fish and Game said it was
being muzzled and stopped from speaking out on environmental issues.

Federated Mountain Clubs vice-president Jan Finlayson said the
freshwater policy was the breaking point.

"The government has treated Land and Water Forum very improperly. I
think the stakeholders acted in good faith but were let done by a
government that simply ignored their advice." "

National have never been good at listening - now their arrogance and
distain for others is moving towards total contempt for the
electorate, as their decisions move further from expert advice. It is
almost as if they know that they have little time left, and are
determined to plunder Nw Zealand for private profit as much as
possible before they are forced out.

Forest and Bird were wrong here Rich. THEY left abandoning their responsibility's to their membership and the country.

If you're looking for someone who doesn't listen go look in a mirror and
at your glorious leader. Or better still if you want to see a party that doesn't consult look at Labours history over the last twenty years!
