The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment thought the Government could hamstring NZ's research capability by ignoring the advice it commissioned.

The article from Newsroom on May 9, 2025, discusses the concerns raised by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Simon Upton, regarding the proposed reforms to New Zealand's science sector. Upton warns that a mishandled reform could pose a "grave danger" to the country's environmental monitoring and research capabilities. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining robust, independent scientific institutions to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of environmental policy-making. The article highlights the potential risks of centralizing scientific research under government control, which could lead to biased research outcomes and diminished public trust in science. Upton calls for a careful and transparent approach to any restructuring to safeguard the nation's environmental future.
