ItS all a crock of shit . I know for a fact that the iwi roadblocks in Murupara were stopping all outsiders from heading towards Minginui and Urewera , but were letting the locals and their mates from Rotorua.
How do i know , two of my workers from Rotorua went up to Ruatahuna for a weeks hunting for the roar during level 4 lockdown . Even brought some venison to work today.

Why have we two seperate sets of rules in this country ..

Plenty of pics of Gang members on road blocks too but the Govt is suppressing that......fake news.

Seriously? I can imagine the media might be, but to say the Govt is is simply a stretch of the imagination. What evidence do you have for such a statement?

oh dear reminds me of the meltdown that lead to the creation of the dark side. Come back Micky, its distressing.. but not that bad.

I'm trying to find where it says the current permits have been canceled?
the only email I got was saying hunting wasn't allowed as well other recreational activities at this time.
and that new permits were not being issued.

He didn’t drive 230km to go hunting.
It was a 230km round trip.
Media extrapolation 😡

Whoever heard of an unlawful law?

All DOC hunting permits were rescinded at the start of this. He was hunting unlawfully, there is no defense that can be brought and it would be cruel to offer up some half-baked legal support to this guy and get his hopes up.

Who also, lets remember, doesn't deserve any help. He went out and did what we all had the moral and legal sense not to.
