change to NGOs' environment legal fund

Environment Minister Nick Smith has been accused of a power grab, after giving himself control over which non-profit organisations can receive legal aid to challenge environmental decisions. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/85522500/nick-smith-accused-of-power-grab-over-change-to-ngos-environment-legal-fund
Oh well that means no more money to forest and bird, FMC Walking access commission or any other "anti progress" group. Forget about legal aid the next time we have to challenge a tunnel under a national park
Does anyone know which NGOs have been accessing this legal aid in recent years?
