Davidson MaramaHon MARAMA DAVIDSON (Co-Leader—Green): Thank you. To assist the Minister for the Environment I'm on page 255 of that big book where I'm going to be directing my questions towards the environment ministry's intersection with the Jobs for Nature programme which I understand is limited yes to administration on behalf of other agencies involved. But I was keen to see whether the Minister had received any advice on the evaluation of the programme—which on this reckoning is actually something that the ministry drives. In particular if the Minister has had detail about the ongoing positive impacts of the different Jobs for Nature programmes around the country and whether or not the Minister herself has been able to visit for example Te Nohoaka o Tukiaua the Sinclair Wetlands a bit south of—I think it's Mosgiel. The Minister is a Southland expert not myself.Some of the stories from there—that is of course Ngāi Tahu and other and associated iwi and hapū particularly led by young people restoring the wetlands through Jobs for Nature funding. With that evaluation how detailed are the benefits and outcomes? On the ground there my colleagues and I actually heard about surrounding farmers having a look over the fence and really seeing and liking what they were seeing and just sort of saying Well could you come and give us a hand? We really can see what you've done there with your wetland is there any way you can give us a hand with restoring ours?" Does the level of evaluation go into those sorts of positive impacts from her ministry?Then I've got other stories. There is the Raūkumara Ranges—so that's my other Ngati Porou side that I'm bringing in now. The Jobs for Nature programmes there were particularly—I'm hearing the difficulties that they faced on the ground. I wonder if the evaluation picked up on some of the unique difficulties that have had to have years of work to rebuild trust in the community around things like pest eradication—of course we all know the use of 1080 has been a real tough one for our communities to come to terms with. Also whether or not the evaluation of the Jobs for Nature funding throughout the Raukūmara Ranges includes those sorts of positive incredible stories that I'm at least hearing on the ground there. And whether or not the evaluation then picks up on where else the funding could go—Te Arawa Lakes is another example that comes to mind.Some of us in the Chamber may understand the weed incursion that can happen on lake beds. We've heard about some of the solutions so far that have not been perhaps environmentally friendly. Protection mats for example being laid on lake beds. There is Te Arawa trialling out harakeke sourced locally sourced right next to the lake of course. Harakeke being used as a fibre and material is shown to have success on eradicating pests and weed control. I'd like to know whether or not the Jobs for Nature evaluation is able to look at—given some of the benefits that the Minister might be hearing about—what the potential is for other locally-led generationally impacting environmental protections that are unique to that local area because they require the local knowledge?So I'm wondering if the Minister could speak on any of those evaluations which I'm seeing should have come through in the nature-based projects.Finally I'd like to know whether there is an evaluation that includes the scale of how hapū and iwi across the country have been able to build infrastructure at a hapū and marae level—for Jobs for Nature programmes they've built social cultural infrastructure—and whether the evaluation makes it quite clear about what will happen to all of that if the funding does not continue. Thank you."
