gas torches are big and messy, the ones that do it up here use 18v makita angle grinders and cut off disks

I do enjoy when small sticks and or super glue finds its way into the locks key part

Yeah, understand that...but in cases like this that kinda response just helps validate the decision to close access, imo. Can help confirm the view that those who used/want to use the place are just arseholes ..... ?

As @Tahr said earlier, the silence from the various advocacy organisations (and public entities) is disappointing, if not unsurprising. And its nearly always easier to stop stuff from happening in the first place, rather than trying to reverse it once it has happened. Maybe crowd funding for legal advice as to what the options might be (or NZDA members asking their executive what their advice said) ?

I agree 100%. It got to be a lot easier to try and keep the land in Crown ownership, than to get it changed back once it's been transferred to private owners.
