6141 (2026). Lan Pham to the Minister for Biosecurity: Does the Minister agree with Taranaki Regional Council's decision not to eradicate the invasive gold clam from Lake Rotomanu?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: Biosecurity NZ is available to support the Taranaki Regional Council in any way it can, with whatever course of action it chooses. Ultimately that decision is a matter for the Council and it's ratepayers.
