Abstract
In January 2003 the minister for rural affairs, Jim Sutton, set up the Land Access Ministerial Reference Group to study issues around access along and to New Zealand’s rivers and coastal margins, to public land and across private rural land. In August 2003 the Group presented its report, Walking Access in the New Zealand Outdoors. This report recommended the development of a New Zealand access strategy. In December 2004 the government released some details of its proposed Land Access Strategy.
During these two years of government analysis, consultation and planning, the issue of walking access across private rural land has caused intense intermittent controversy. ‘Walking Access across Private Land: Behind the Soundbites’ scrutinises a typical contribution to that controversy, the Federated Farmers paper, ‘Mythbusters’.
