Ban1080 Political Party Annual General Meeting

May 22nd 2017

Press Release.

The Ban1080 Political Party held it’s Annual General Meeting at the Bushman’s Centre in Pukekura in South Westland on Saturday 20th May.
The meeting was well attended, an Executive Committee of Mary Molloy, Peter Salter, Jim Hilton, Bill Wallace, Carol Sawyer and Clyde Graf was elected.
The Party is now calling for nominations for candidates for it’s Party List for the 2017 General Election.
The members present wanted the Party to continue, as no other Party has a comprehensive ban on the aerial dropping of the poison 1080 as its priority. The executive committee also added that humane, targeted animal control, and poison-free waterways are important outcomes for New Zealand, that no other political party is pursuing.
It was heartening that DoC’s own surveys show that the percentage of the population finding aerial 1080 unacceptable has increased from 43% to 61% over the past decade.
Following the AGM, the Executive committee elected Clyde Graf and Bill Wallace as Co Leaders of the Party.
