Belief the Government's fast-track list will reap more benefits than environmental problems.

The Government's listed 149 projects for its Fast Track Approvals Bill - including nine mining projects.

The Bill still needs to go before the Environment Committee, then each project will be assessed by an expert panel.

She says New Zealand needs to rely on science, technology and facts — not emotion.
