What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The government announced a $150,000 one-off funding boost for six accredited wildlife care facilities to support bird flu surveillance and biosecurity protocols. Separately, the government agreed to 12 targeted amendments to the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, designed to give Māori landowners more control and speed up land development processes.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The funding supports critical biosecurity efforts, which are vital for limiting the impact of bird flu on industries and wildlife. The land act amendments aim to provide governance autonomy to Māori landowners, potentially making it easier to access investment for new homes and businesses on Māori land.
