Government considering winding back wetland protection - a podcast by RNZ

The government is being accused of caving to big business by winding back protections for wetlands.

But as RNZ's Conan Young reports, coal mines, quarries and landfills may soon have a smoother path to being approved close to or right on top of some wetlands.
