Just three weeks till the election and while the polls are tightening up a bit I probably wouldn’t be a making wildly speculative punt in predicting that they might be rearranging the furniture in the Beehive soon.
That thought has been exercising the minds of environmental types lately, in particular thinking about what a change of government would mean for conservation.
Mostly (but not entirely) the thinking among them is that a centre-Right government wouldn’t be a good thing. Me, I’m prepared to wait and see. In a past life as a press gallery journalist I spent far too much time in daily close proximity to politicians to maintain any delusion that any particular party had a monopoly on good policy in any given area, conservation included.
