If angry tourist outfitters were expecting help from the Natural Resources Minister they're out of luck.
Linda Jeffery doesn't give any indication she's willing to budge on the issue of increase land permit fees.
Some outfitters say they're fees have shot up 700 per cent, but Jeffery indicates it's a done deal with the Outfitters Association
Jeffery doesn't believe the fee increase will cause some fishing lodges to close as the outfitters claim.
