RMA Reform & Co-Governance: Taranaki Farmer Mark Hooper On What Replaces Iwi Agreements

The government has officially moved to halt iwi co-governance arrangements and statutory agreements being rushed through under the old RMA, but what comes next for New Zealand farmers? In this episode, Duncan Garner sits down with Taranaki farmer and Federated Farmers representative Mark Hooper to break down the real-world impact of planning legislation on Aotearoa’s primary sector.
