So the stream is still a good trout fishing location which means the dumping of frack fluid didn't alter anything. Things have changed a lot since 95 10 years of endless environmental laws this is just another TV3 sensation story with little science and a lot of conjecture. if you look at the US experience the scare stories are boundless but no science to prove that Fracking has or will do any harm and as they have been Fracking since 65 I think the EPA would have banned it by now if any evidence had been forthcoming. Link to a film on the brighter side of Fracking. http://www.truthlandmovie.com/watch-movie/

Local government needs to be controlled and audited; there is not enough strength in the RMA to ensure that local councils carry out their duties to the standard imposed in the RMA. There needs to be a new section providing for more accountability from local councils. some local councils are good but in the Buller development is given great priority over any conservation.

Does anything change, from agent organge, DTDs, it sems chemical companies can dump this stuff with as less regard.When you own political parties you can get away with anything. Mining needs a 5% levy on profits as a insurance policy. The governments 6% royalties is criminal.

HUANG. I disagree with you. The NZ Green Party is saying that some people and their practices have a history of lying to the caring public. They do not advocate going back to horse-drawn transport, but they do say that we should exploit resources with care. Do we want to be like China, and live in a society where dissent is silenced brutally by utterly ruthless plunderers?

Greens digging up something in 94, 95 to be in the news! The Greens stand for doing nothing while they drive cars and use technologies that benefited from oil and natural resources.

@ROSS yes that is a good documentary people need to watch in order to understand the negative impacts of fracking. Of course it's important for NZ to ban these sort of operations when our tourism industry relies on our clean green, environmental image - 100% pure NZ.
