Thread: Kaimanawa Forest Park

The crux of this is that the government appear to be able to give away public land to private enterprise (at the expense of other users) with no consultation or even informing affected parties. The race card is a total red herring. It makes no difference to me whether that private organization is Maori, European, Chinese or whatever. This should not be able to happen! I have no problem with government supporting business either, but not by taking from other New Zealanders.
All very well for some to say "Move on" or "Get over it. It is the future". Lets hope you have a good explanation for your grandkids about how this future came about when they ask you where all the back country huts and tracks went and why they can't walk into the Otane, Harkness, Cupola and Misery like you did as a young man.
