The Government has backed down on it's plan to enable the sale of conservation land. 

They've decided to remove the 'Disposal and Exchange' provisions from the bill. 

Conservation Minister Tama Potaka told Mike Hosking that, 'There's no intention to sell off huge swathes of the conservation estate, but clearly that intention didn't materialise in the words. That's on me.' 

He said the Government is working with Forest and Bird, NGOs and Iwis to make sure the intentions and details of the bill suit all parties.
