Thread: Hunting or fishing under level 4

Here is a hint : don't look at the following websites for any info on the restrictions:

covid19.govt.nz
police.govt.nz
health.govt.nz

These bloody muppets do and will interpret the law in all kinds of mysterious ways...

rather go here

legislation.govt.nz

specifically, look for the Covid19 Public Health Order

kapai bros.....off to the lake tomorrows,might even go put out net and catch some whitebait too.....yeah right!!!!! I will be working.

Re the Canterbury guy that was caught. I am told something did happen. including loosing his FAL

there was the same discussion last L4, L3 time

Its clear, dont do any activity that is risky, and could put others at risk coming to rescue you.
its simple
Hunting and tramping are included. again.
trying to play the system, isnt helping.
being the cause of others having to leave their 'bubble' and put them at risk , frankly, is selfish

My take on it is that you are allowed to fish/hunt in places "readily accessible from home" that wouldn't require search and rescue etc. regardless of your ethnicity. Not trying to be a dick or find loopholes, just trying to understand the rules.

@Mohawk .308, section (f) does

But you could also read section (e) in a way that "recreation" includes fishing/hunting in ways other than the specific provisions of point (iii)...

There’s no loop hole . If you you are Maori it is clearly written in legislation that you can exorcise customary rites and go fishing or food gathering in the middle of a pandemic at its highest level .

Numerous links to that legislation are available look it up .

What gets me is that as a man of the land all my life I’m excluded from this “customary rites” but even more so how is it possible the country is in the middle of public health crisis customary rites are still able to be exorcised to the detriment of our entire country? …is the current government so terrified of upsetting at best 16% of the population they are willing to sacrifice the other 84% , is this where we are at ? .
For the record I am no racist this is not what the OP was about more so it’s about a government that is dividing us and putting our fellow country men and woman at odds with each other and to my way of thinking it is the first tangible evidence rite there for all to see .

Most of us are still the same. We take responsibility for ourselves, if we are men.

Hunting and gathering is "customary" for every member of our species. It is in all of our genes regardless of "ethnic" differences.

This idea that we cannot do what we want to because it might possibly expose someone else to any potential danger is WOKE NONESENSE and we should say so.

IMO, the proper definition of "woke" is "loser" and this "woke" culture turns everything to shit.

The "woke" losers have taken control of the political parties and our government because the rest of us allowed them to.
These people are omnipotent moral busybodies who feel entitled to tell everyone else what to do "for their own good".

The "woke" do not want anyone to hunt, shoot, fish or do anything else they disapprove of and are using their political participation and power to force the rest of us to obey them.

Isn't it time we told them to mind their own business and leave the rest of us alone so we can do the same?

The only way to do this is for more and more of the normal people to join, participate in and take control of the political parties so that we have representatives of the real people instead of the "woke" losers.

Welcome to the forum Delta variant.

Gee your popping up everywhere at the moment ah

I'm a bit concerned to see you are in Christchurch !!

now what was it that was quoted in the "communism thread" about deviding the masses???

The way I read the "allowance" is pretty much if you have a handy pipi bed nearby you can wade around and get some but no diving etc, presents more as making sure people who rely on these foods still have access to them rather than it being a recreational extra.
I'm staying home, give the animals time to build confidence and give the pipi beds a rest, I don't need them to get by and am happy enough working on fitness around home so my next hunt is more enjoyable

They’re white baiting in Whakatane? Police not showing interest?

Do'nt blame them, those whitebaiters get pretty stroppy at times.

Il never forget a 80 year old coaster woman scoop netting on the Arawhata giving my big brown brother his beans because he was set netting on the wrong side of the stump that was on the bank , fortunately for me I was behind him so was largely left un molested as she would place her scoop inside the mouth of his large set net .

Hmmm…..

So no one has stated what is a an acceptable time or distance to drive from home for exercise 10 mins, 20 mins, 5km ??? Or have I missed it

@Moa Hunter
No clear definition, neither distance or time, they’ve written it that way so they can try a Police you how they see fit.

Guys please read the act here (hope link works) section e & f should be of most interest but I urge you to read it all.

Be aware the current govt got their bums smacked in court by enforcing laws last lockdown that weren’t finalised, they didn’t care, they pay out with our tax money after all. They then hurried through what they could latter last year, they snuck it through with short notice right under our noses.
What’s become clear is Labour love directing Covid questions to any of their 3 main pages, heck that’s all they advertise www.covid19.govt
,here’s where they spin the actual legislation to suit their agenda. The legislation itself is very loose in definition and taken at face value anyone could pick big holes in it.
