I saw her on Tv in an interview with one rob cope williams of CTV-no says kate were not removing them from F&Gcontrol ,farmers already have remedies they can use in pest control.
whoops what did she do?//David carter N at Min agriculture speaker of house well he gets together with Kate and whoa F&Glose control of geese and theres a $100K fund set up(read vote buying exercise as the election was iminent) to pay for this highly organised operation.

Not forgetting F&G never got a brass bloody razoo from tigharse govts for goose control.
Big meeting of all interested parties a so called plan agreed upon...............WTF-out of the blue ive got TV3 on the blower saying Ellesmere is awash with dead dying and crippled geese-subsequent video footage showed just that on national TV
a certain person went superballistic (hell remember ) and marched into DOC HQ in CHCH demanding some answers "-the authoriser had suddenly gone on leave.!!!!! "
amazingly he manged to secure a copy of the authorising order which I still have amongst my papers.

bugger me nek minute katey matey potatey is arsed out of conservation portfolio and a lot of soft shoe shuffle goes on as joe public starts enquiring as to who authorised this fuckup.

I had till recently a contact high up in DOC HQ in SI and i remember him saying how the after effects reverberated around SI DOC offices and the shifty gazes as key players attempted to down play the whole issue .
westcoast F&G went doggo refused to have anything to do with it .
another recent morsel on international news -the himalayan thar is almost extinct in its native himalayas and Nzs population is regarded as the only healthy one in the world. obviously noone knows about the mad cow conservation minister and DOCs ongoing efforts to cull them out of existence!
lets see -red deer ,wapiti,possums ,goats ,pigs wallabies ,-all have been subject of DOC ongoing extermination plans for years -but it appears it make fuck all difference -the animals quietly breed themselves back into big populations.hmmm whose the dumbass one might ask .I wont hold my breath.
