Freedom camping meets Nashes ban hammer.

Proposing to ban all non self contained campers.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/fr...K7LWMOHXQT26I/

Read for yourself.

Its not the kiwis shitting all over the roadsides and pull over areas.

I'm generally anti any new law as any new law only ever removes freedoms and costs more.

Perhaps rental companies should be banned from offering incentives to return the self contained camper with a clean unused toilet?

And if passed into law you could face a 1000 dollar fine for chucking a mattress in the back of your ute/station wagon/van/what have you and sleeping the night at a road end or whatever.

i wonder what portfolio he will get next
failed at police
failed at tourism

Err, yes it is Kiwis shitting all over the place (AS WELL I should say). There's precious few tourists here right now, and everywhere I go, there's the evidence. FFS! does no one carry a fuckin spade in their car! Was exploring the southern Pureoras last weekend. Gotta all be Kiwi hunters and 4WDers in there at the mo, crap everywhere you could erect a tent. Energy drinks, RTD's, beer bottles,chewy bar wrappers. Grubby bastards the lot of em. Gotta be missing a chromosome or something??

The morons will ban camping in tent then ! I self censor what other comments I have.

Never thought the notion would pass my mind. I think old Noshie is doing a fine job with tourism and camper vans presently. Some one has to do something, even if it halves the disgusting mess it all leaves behind it.

I wonder if the ban will extend to the homeless living in cars. That's definitely going to be a "racist" policy.

A bit like guns, the problem is with the people not the vehicle. If they don't give a shit to the point that they're leaving their shit all over the place, a self-contained van isn't going to help. They will either not use the septic tank or dump the contents on the roadside.

You are missing the point I made about tourists hiring fully self contained and shitting on the side of the road.
It will do nothing to change that but will ad cost and compliance to kiwis.

Some don’t use the dunny in the rented camper van because they then have to pay extra to the rental company.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like anyone, freedom campers or not, shitting at road ends, dodging DOC campground fees etc.
To some extent they’re low hanging fruit, and an easy target, but the offshore freedom hoards have been largely absent for twelve months.
So how about we have a look in the mirror and tidy up our own act?

This at a set of lights on my daily commute to work ;

Straight out the window courtesy of low class urban filth....

Live in the country and see the bags of rubbish townies bring out and dump on our roadsides. Its definitely not freedom campers doing that. Also, unfortunately, it's been going on for ever, predating any freedom camping culture.

I hear you.
I’m 75+km away from the nearest KFC and Maccas yet regularly pick up their product boxes and wrappers at my front gate.

Are people that retarded that they can’t figure out how to operate a rubbish bin?
(Probably the same type that trash street sign and shoot road signs)

It's only going to get worse if the Greens have their way and we end up with higher land-fill fees.

I don't think the types that throw this shit from their car have the spare brain cells to compute higher land fill fees.

And even if those dirty bastards did start to use the proper toilet, or dig a decent hole. They are always going to be the type of two legged pigs who throw their rubbish out the window or dump their old belongings on the road side.

There will always be dirty bastards and tidy bastards.
We just need to make public examples out of the pigs. big ass fines, name and shame etc.

Why do they do it? They just don't give a f@#k about anything else but themselves and because they can, without personal repercussions. They are trash themselves.

I am anti 'freedom camping laws' I like camping when and where I feel like it.

I like my freedom.

I reckon the current laws regarding littering and being a pig just need to have huge fines/punishments attached to them.

And the name and shame.

Also, if you are not a resident and get caught littering or otherwise disrespecting our country, then its off to the airport and your belongings are forfeited to the crown.

IKR, why would we even entertain allowing someone who breaks our rules to remain in our country? Especially someone on a visitors permit.
