Government being urged to stop the spread of exotic weeds

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 11 November 2021

The government is being asked to do more to stop the spread of rampaging weeds that are smothering our native ecosystems. 

The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Simon Upton, says in a new review of how New Zealand manages weeds, that if we don't do something soon - our ecosystems will be changed beyond recognition. 

Simon Upton talks to Jesse about their report, which comes out at 2pm today.
