Decade-long calls for stronger recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi in planning laws are yet to be realised, but are part of the package as the government prepares for a major overhaul of the RMA.
OPINION: The elephants in the room are always too big to touch in any debate. Politicians do their best to tiptoe around them and hope they don’t tread on a trunk or brush a tail and trigger a stampede. But they also want to be seen to be moving, otherwise the voters who want change will think nothing is being done. That’s why modern politics is often a delicate dance of appearing to move a lot without actually poking the elephants and moving them into another place.
