Just to give the North Island guys a bit of perspective, we dont do little wee blocks of bush like they do up north as that is not how you exterminate species and that is the goal here in the top of the south make no mistake about that.

It is all there in the poison summary if you would like to check my numbers they are not made up or exaggerated.
There are single operations done here that cover more area than all of the Ruahines and Kawekas combined and they are back to do it again as soon as possible.
Id say a few of you would be upset if they carpet bombed the entire Ruahines and Kawekas and also your private land bordering (cos they are good like that) in one go with no repellant.
Kahurangi national park 452,000 hectares, the whole lot will be done.
1,000,000 hectares of 1080 dropped for Battle for the birds.
