Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has received at least one death threat from anti-1080 protesters.
She told Newshub she had been made aware of a number of threats made to her by anti-1080 protesters, including at least one death threat.
But she was more concerned about the violence and threats by
protesters to front-line staff such as Department of Conservation workers.
"I've had some incidents that I've been made aware of, but to be honest some of my greater concern is with those on the front line who receive these threats a bit more directly and a bit more personally," she told Newshub.
The number of DOC staff being threatened and harassed had peaked in the last few months and the incidents included staff having their vehicles tampered with and helicopters shot at.
