Thread: High court stops Urewera hut burning

https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/13042...oss-te-urewera

That's great news.

As if they will listen and comply..... Not likely is my guess

But fingers crossed

Awesome , I wonder how many they have already destroyed ?

That won't stop a thing

Now we need a petition to get rid of Poto Williams for giving it the go ahead to start with.

You would be pissing in the wind

It's an interim injunction with a case still to be heard, but a great gutsy move which I really hope brings some rationale to the debacle. Thankyou those who went to the high court, from me.

/\ /\ What he said - once these are gone I don't expect we'll see them replaced.

Exactly - no way will DOC upset local Iwi and rebuild the huts. Under this government DOC has proven to be totally incompetent. Bloody disgraceful that it even happened in the first place and be interesting to watch the possum, rat, pig and deer numbers skyrocket now that local Iwi seem to have full control
More pigs and deer so great for hunting I hear you say but no,no. Invited guests only according to Tuhoe

Remove pest control.
Then put case forward for 1080.
I’ve already heard doc telling Tuhoe that the reason pig numbers are low in Te Urewera is because possum numbers are high and possums eat flowers which would’ve become berries, and that pig numbers bounce back higher than ever a couple of years after 1080.

I've wondered about this. Do the pigs that survive the drops get a food bonanza from the corpses for a while, helping them get into peak breeding condition? Ditto for helicopter culls. Lots of food just lying around. Then the regrowth in the bush provides food for their piglets. Population boom results.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Wild pigs in Te Urewera are cyclic - seems to be 6-7 yr cycles - after 1080 yes pig numbers increase ( no 1080 in Te Urewera )- likely not due to eating carcasses - quite some research suggests pigs can detect 1080 and avoid it - but a lot more feed around for them especially fattening berries - hinau Nikau Tawa etc - and no hunting pressure for awhile -Tuhoe attitude against 1080 is very firmly entrenched so don't expect it there anytime soon - but other powers will be watching the state of those important water catchments such as the Whakatane - Waiau - Ruakituri - Waimana - Hangaroa - likely they will not allow them to deteriorate to badly but a few years away yet - my big concern is access
