[edit] State of the Environment reporting
In 1997 the Ministry released New Zealand's first State of the Environment report.[3] This was followed up in 2008 by a second report titled Environment New Zealand 2007.[4] Chapter 13 of this report was removed before final publication but was leaked to the Green Party. After the media reported the existence of the omitted chapter the ministry placed the contents on its website.[5]
