Tess BruntonCORRESPONDENT
Chelsea McGaw has echoed these concerns.
Tess BruntonCORRESPONDENT
She's Forest and Bird's Regional Conservation Manager covering Otago and Southland and submitted on the mine expansion when it was going through the traditional consent process last year.
Chelsea McGawSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We were quite concerned about things like, of course, biodiversity.
Chelsea McGawSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So the mine zone of influence, there's 128 indigenous plant species and 10 species of indigenous birds, which are threatened or at risk.
Tess BruntonCORRESPONDENT
They've got a bit
Chelsea McGawSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
of a history of non-compliance for their existing consent, so that's a concern going forward for if they get some more consent.
Tess BruntonCORRESPONDENT
She says Forest and Bird would like to have its say on the expansion.
Chelsea McGawSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The true value in gold is leaving it down in the ground and protecting our biodiversity and protecting nature.
Rob BollixHOST
So I didn't predict all the games this week, like last week, so I'll, I'll tell you how I did.
Rob BollixHOST
Well, first off, Liverpool, Forest.
Rob BollixHOST
I got that wrong 'cause it was a draw.
Kris McFangHOST
Okay.
Rob BollixHOST
Um, we've already had a game this morning.
Rob BollixHOST
Ipswich lost 3-0 to Liverpool, so Kit will be happy.
Rob BollixHOST
Now, tonight we've got Newcastle, Bournemouth; Brentford, Sunderland; Forest, Tottenham; Man City, Coventry.
Rob BollixHOST
And I think...
Neva Reti ManuHOST
Latest cotality data shows values on average fell by 0.4% last month and down 1% on a year ago.
Neva Reti ManuHOST
Another kind of election campaign kicks off today, voting for Forest and Bird's Bird of the Year.
Neva Reti ManuHOST
This year's 70-plus native candidates will be organised into six parties, like seabirds, treebirds and shorebirds, with every vote also counting towards its party's total.
Neva Reti ManuHOST
Gloria Steinem, a leader of the women's liberation movement in the U.S., has died.
Wayne LangfordGUEST
There's eight different organisations that form up the Landcare Trust.
Wayne LangfordGUEST
Some pretty big ones like Fish and Game and Rural Woman and Forest and Bird and the Federation of Marriott Authorities as well as a few others as well.
Wayne LangfordGUEST
So Landcare Trust was kind of the early adopters in the catchment group phase and While they've kind of had the tsunami of catchment groups, I guess, come at them over the last probably 10 or 15 years, now they're starting to really find their feet again in terms of their really specialised advice for catchment groups and helping out some of the work that catchment groups are doing, which is awesome.
Wayne LangfordGUEST
Yeah, to think of where it's come from over the last 30 years and all the catchment work that's gone on in New Zealand and how much of a role Landcare Trust has played in that.
MillyHOST
This is one of my current faves, I think, from the... kani-kani therapy compilation out of Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
MillyHOST
You can still cop this on Bandcamp, and all of the proceeds are going towards Forest and Bird.

Christopher LuxonPANELIST
Well, the new legislation strikes the right balance of getting the country moving and growing, uh, while also protecting our environment.
Marama DavidsonPANELIST
environment.What does he say to Forest and Bird, Greenpeace, and the Environmental Defense Society who put out a statement last week saying the amended resource management bills, quote, "Are effectively removing environmental limits from the natural environment bill"?
Christopher LuxonPANELIST
Well, we respect their views, but at the end of the day, we're growing this country, and we're getting a show on the road.
Marama DavidsonPANELIST
Why does he think that after 30 years of degrading waterways with nearly half the total length of rivers unsafe for swimming, that self-regulation by the dairy industry will lead to better environmental outcomes?
Boyd SwinburnGUEST
But actually in the legislation that is already in place in countries like Ireland and Australia and so on, when they sit down to define the lobbyists, it includes anybody.
Boyd SwinburnGUEST
So it includes people lobbying on behalf of the environment, like Forest and Bird or Greenpeace, or on behalf of children, like the Child Poverty Action Group or ourselves, a health coalition lobbying for health.
Boyd SwinburnGUEST
So the issue is not so much that we want to get rid of lobbying, it's just that we need to level the playing field because the access is just so dependent on money and that leaves these organisations who are lobbying on behalf of the environment and society at a real disadvantage compared to the commercial lobbyists.
TheoHOST
Right.
Brodie KaneHOST
You go for it.
Sam GibsonGUEST
We got some real interesting baku shoes with that real recently, right? We had Nicola Toki from Forest & Bird having a go at the game a- at DOC, at Game Animal Council, and the WAPITI Foundation, though the hunters being like, "Hang on, mate, like, you're out of touch and, and, and, uh, being non-pragmatic.
Sam GibsonGUEST
We're actually achieving more conservation values as a hunter lead group than if, if we didn't have hunters in there doing that work." And the people just got so stuck in their ideologies.
Brodie KaneHOST
Yes.
Nicola TokiGUEST

More Than Words by Nicola Toki, former chief executive of Forest & Bird.
Nicola TokiGUEST
Hey, listen, when I was a teenager, and, and particularly when I was grounded, which, which appeared to be all the time, the trick to being allowed out again was to sit down and play Stairway to Heaven.
