Oh Hell No:

Shores of Lake Te Anau offered up for oil and gas exploration

More than 4000 km² of Southland land, including the shores of Lake Te Anau, are being offered up for oil and gas exploration.

…

The new block offer includes an onshore area, called the Western Southland Basin, which nudges up against the Fiordland National Park and runs along part of the dramatic southern coast, including Te Waewae Bay. …

This is crazy in so many ways.

Last time they tried something like this 50,000 marched in Auckland and the Nats were forced to back down.
