The Government has unveiled two new bills to replace the RMA. Ministers are talking about decks and front doors - but the RMA is what protects land, air, water and wildlife from mining, dams and industrial farming. These reforms weaken environmental protections.🧵

What if polluters could demand a payout – just for being told to stop polluting?
That’s exactly what the Govt is considering putting into the new RMA replacement laws. A fringe idea called “regulatory takings” which is really just a polluters get paid plan.
