UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne says the controversy surrounding todays decision to conduct aerial drops of 1080 in the Hunua Ranges emphasises the need to take a take time out on the use of 1080 as a pest control method to better assess its efficacy.
"UnitedFuture policy is to have a five year moratorium on the aerial dispersal of 1080, for two reasons.
"First, if 1080 is to be dropped aerially near urban communities or waterways, better information about the long-term effects of 1080 on not just the local bird population, but also human beings, needs to be established.
"In the absence of this, there is a strong risk of adverse public reactions over time making it impossible for any form of intrusive pest control to be carried out.
"That gives rise to the second reason for the moratorium - it provides an opportunity for redirecting some funding towards alternative pest control strategies and methods, and also for a more informed community debate about pest management strategies generally, and the role of 1080 in particular.
"Otherwise, there is a real risk of mounting public opposition to 1080 leading to its being banned before effective alternatives are put in place, and that would be simply disastrous for our biodiversity," he says.
Mr Dunne says a more holistic pest management strategy for our parks and recreation area is required, and sadly, todays decision means that both the Auckland Council and the Department of Conservation have passed up the opportunity to be part of developing that.

COUNCIL chiefs are set to scrap York's pest control service and slash the number of highways staff, it was claimed last night.
Independent councillor Mark Warters spoke out at a City of York Council cabinet meeting, saying details of the proposed cutbacks had been presented to employees and passed to him by an 'appalled' member of staff.
He said the cutbacks, understood to be part of a package of efficiency and savings proposals drawn up in the wake of local government funding reductions, involved a 40 per cent cut in jobs amongst the ordinary workforce in the highways department.
He branded the job losses a 'hatchet job' and claimed staff morale was low but said the proposals for the pest control service were 'totally unacceptable,' raising major public health concerns. He said it should not be left to management to decide without further scrutiny and debate by all elected members.
He also claimed the council had decided not to employ the pest control team, comprising two front line officers, at its own West Offices headquarters, which would have kept council money in-house and retained jobs.
He said: "From what I know, the financial case for cutting this service has been overstated. Figures I have seen show that this service is certainly covering the staff costs after only seven months of the current financial year."
Sarah Tanburn, the council's interim director of environmental services, responded to Cllr Warters at the cabinet meeting, saying the proposals were part of moves the council had to make to meet budget cuts of nearly 1 million.
She said: "We are in beginnings of consultation with staff around a number of changes to the services.
"This is part of the very necessary steps to we need to make to meet the projected overspend in that department.
"We have to look at options to make these savings. We have started consultations and will go through the proper processes, which will take some time, and we are very much at an early stage."
