Close Up has just run a poll to gauge the level of support for mining of National parks. 50 percent say yes...
Interestingly this is something that Maori should be watching with a great deal of interest. A hell of a lot of Maori land borders National Parks.
There is very little that has excited us much as the proposal to look at mining opportunities in our National Park.
It could really lead the economic transformation this country needs.
And its very clear thar very high value conservation estate will not be at risk.

Did you notice that each time the prompt to vote, giving the txt details etc, came on screen, the picture in the background showed shots of open cast mines in various locations!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check your maths - 50% of a Close Up poll (self-selected conservative audience with a high tolerance for superficial 'current affairs') does NOT equal "half the country"!
