Sports Minister Mark Mitchell has outlined why he feels it was time for the Government to step in with the ongoing Netball New Zealand v Dame Noeline Taurua saga.

The side-lined Silver Ferns coach and the national body remain at an impasse concerning issues with the high performance environment.

Mitchell says the situation has simply dragged on for far too long.

"Everyone involved loves netball, but the fact of the matter is that this is not good for netball. It's one of our iconic games and so many people participate and enjoy the sport. This is not good for anyone, and so I've asked Sport NZ to give me advice and send a clear message."
