Chris Carter fresh from his ill informed decision on Whangamata marina is also now sitting on a decision whether Solid Energy can get at $400 million worth of coal.
So why is the Conservation minister deciding this? Well because there is a population of friggin snails living on top of the coal , and his approval is needed if the plan to move the snails will be successful.
Oh for fucks sake they are friggin snails, get the bulldozers moving and damn the stupid invertebrates.
New Zealand is fast becoming a farce under this government. For fucks sake if this was any other country the decision would be "Snails, what snails, I don't see any snails".
If I was any major corporation in new Zealand and discovered snails on my asset, I would shut up and lay the slug slam.
