National Backs Hunters And AnglersA re-elected National Government will strengthen hunter-led conservation, protect access to the outdoors, and better recognise the value of hunting and fishing to New Zealand. They put food on the family dinner table, support regional communities, and connect New Zealanders with the outdoors,” Mr Meager says. National will also strengthen the Access Charter for Recreational Hunting and Fishing on Public Conservation Land and Waters and ensure suitable Crown land managed by Land Information New Zealand is open to recreational hunting and fishing. Hunters and anglers should be able to enjoy suitable public land, rivers and lakes wherever this can be done safely and responsibly,” Mr Meager says. “This is a balanced plan that recognises the value of hunting and fishing, backs hunter-led conservation, and protects our unique natural environment,” Mr Meager says.
