She says it's not trying to delay regulation —and acknowledges farming's impact on freshwater quality—

Shock horror and online hate this week for that American who came here, the reality TV show contestant, who came here and murdered one of our native birds and then ate it. It was a Weka that he killed and ate. I have a confession for you: I too have killed and eaten a Weka. Yes. But it was buff wicker on the Chatham Islands, and you're allowed to. It's the only place you can do it in New Zealand. And it's delicious, I have to confess. It tasted like a cross between chicken and pork quite
