Yep Lou Samson is a crook, and he's been found out.
Nothing will come of this I suspect.

so...the horse has bolted and now the ysay the gate should have been shut???
so....are the courts going to demand the huts are rebuilt??? and how will they ensure they not burnt down again????
the way I see it that is the problem....some self entitled folks have decided this is best way to make other folks bugger off out of area..and the other folks cant do bugger all about it... the sooner NEW ZEALAND gets back to belonging to all New Zealanders the better. public land should remain public.... and if ownership is transphered in some quasi feelgood move,the ownership should be silent and the status quo of using said land continue for the good of all KIWIS....
IMO CEO DoC should be prosecuted to the maximum pissible under the law.
Yes dont spare the wet bus tickets
Tuhoe won't give a shit and there's nothing anyone will do about it. DOC on the other hand, let's see some heads roll.
Don’t know why you’re blaming him, when he retired 12 months before all this happened.Quote:

Bloody well said Micky Duck. Typical of the way NZ has been heading for a few years now. Pretty sure nothing will happen about this and no way will new ones be built.
It just doesn't stop does it. Bureaucrats still plundering the tax payer.

Sorry, it's behind the paywall but you get the drift.
Now, the High Court has found the DOC director-general, Te Uru Taumatua and Te Urewera Board acted contrary to Te Urewera Act in allowing the huts to be demolished. hope they loose there jobs .
Potato was our local MP and in all the years we were there we never saw her do anything for the people she was supposed to represent..Worse than useless.....Our local MP now is everywhere and appears to be two places at once most of the time- locally working on getting stuff done and in welly ......Quote:

read what I typed right back at beginning of this thread...... there is zero point in rebuilding a hut..when its not the hut thats the issue.... its the self entitlement that led to a group of people thinking they now have the right to do so,because they have been told its now theirs EXCLUSIVELY ....untill that is sorted,the ywill keep getting burnt......Honi Hiki and the flag pole is a good parrallelQuote:

I’m not condoning what was done for one second, but it’s been going on for decades, and not just Maori. It’s not really anything new.
Plateau hut, in fact all the huts accessible by road around Whirinaki, were burnt down late 80’s - 90’s by the locals to discourage out of town hunters.
In Pureora where I hunted, a local farmer cut a bridge out to prevent hunters from easily getting to the road end (back of his farm)
I was told there was a doc hut at the back of Poronui years back that was popular, burnt by the local cockie.
I’m not sure they’re all true.
I also sympathise with the farmers who get poachers on their property’s, and want to make things a bit harder for them.
But in this case, when Te Urewera, was handed back, this was predicted. Govt/Doc reassured us it wouldn’t, as did Tūhoe….
In my previous job we had to be aware of the social research: arson is the clearest precursor of murder.
There was only a trickle of people through where i went when the huts were there. Be even less now.
Tuhoe won't give a shit and they're near untouchable these days anyway. Lou Samson was just the latest useless DOC bureaucrat we've had. Hugh Logan was a so-so local district conservator before he climbed the ladder and became a useless cnut. Been downhill since then and I don't believe there has been a usefull Conservation Minister since Dennis Marshall and he needed the odd rark up. Everone has to get of their arse and have their say/ make meaningful submissions every time the CMS comes up for review. If you don't you only have yourself to blame for any future outcomes. Rant over.
