Dear Editor, Can you please enquire and tell your readers the size of the budget for the National Environment Service?

Whatever the sum, we taxpayers can save that amount by the immediate cancellation of that budget and the immediate sacking of every NES employee.
In the face of possible criminal activity at Parliament House, the dumping rubbish within the 30-metre zone from the MHWM, the NES is going to “reach out to Parliament Services to address the rubbish issue”. What about reaching out to Crown Law and bringing charges against the perpetrators in Court?
How about the lawmakers are not above the law?
How about the lawmakers take off the ill-fitting, Warehouse bargain suits that they buy with the $5000 annual clothes budget and get out there with their own hands and pick up the tita?
The amazing thing about these hypocrites is that they are not in the least embarrassed at being found out. It’s just another annoyance on the way to the daily buffet.

(Name and address supplied)

NES staff attended to the complaint immediately and this matter was resolved instantly. Parliament Services cleared the rubbish on the beach and this will not happen again. There are no instant fines regulations. However, NES is actively implementing tangible measures to establish regulations to enable the imposition of instant fines to address the littering problem.

Kua taakaaka te akatutuanga i te taeanga Evangeria i te akono’anga a to tatou ui-tupuna i Akatokamanava nei.

Kare tei akararangia ei ariki i roto i te Are Ariki e te Ui-Mataiapo, Ui-Rangatira i roto i te Koutu Nui i paruru i ta tatou peu tupuna i roto i teia tuatau. Te akapaapaa mai nei te ui-ariki e na ratou i mou i te Evangeria, kare e ui-ariki i te ra tuatau. I teia ra te oki nei tatou i te kimi i ta tatou akono’anga tupuna, e oti akera kia akamaara tatou i te taeanga Evangeria, kua takatakai tatou i ta tatou akono’anga e umuumu nei kia akaokiia mai e kia paruru ia na roto i te apiianga ki te monomono tuatau ta tatou e utuutu nei.

Kare rai oki e akaapaanga kua akariro oki tatou i ta tatou peu ei iriiriria tatou ki te au turoto, e tamataora.

Kia koe e te Are Ariki, akamotu koe i te akapaapaa ua ia koe, kare koe i aite mei te au Toa tei mou i te Evangeria, te aru patete aere ua nei koe i te au angaanga e raveia nei i teia tuatau. Akamatutuia to ou tango. E akamotu katoa koe i te maani e na au e akateretere i te au kopu Ariki o te au enua, mei ta au i rave kia Tararo Ariki.
