Political parties’ answers to FMC’s questions

A couple of months ago, we asked the conservation spokesperson of each political party a series of questions.

Initially, only two parties (TOP and National) replied to our questions. Their responses were published on our website and linked to in Backcountry.

Since then, we have had answers from two more parties, NZ First and the Green Party.

We have thus updated our document. All of the responses we have received are published here:
