certainly says a lot about safety around motor vehicles doesnt it.One slipping tyre and heyho one less xmas present to buy."ah mate we's just havin a good time " all times are good till some poor bastard gets hurt or killed.
There are quite a number of people who donate time trapping clearing weeds from riverbeds to help try and save these birds, both the dotterel and black fronted tern numbers are in decline... these "4wd enthusiasts" need prosecuting.
Honestly DOC should just enforce their own bloody rules and slap these idiots all with a $20,000+ fine.
Its idiots like this that ruin it for the rest of us and give the people who want to ban everything the ammunition they need.
You never see a cop car sitting at any entry or exit of the river when these clowns decide to rejoin traffic after a good old 12pk down at the river either.
Would never have guessed it hahahaQuote:

Standard fuckwits-in-flat-peaks stuff
Any one know what the DOC is going to do? Use number plate in survalliance photos to track down and impound the said 4WDs would be a good way to do it.
Doc will do nothing as from what I have been told the 4wd's don't go any where near the birds ,more MSM BS.
River access may be a thing of the past if this keeps up, I like how firearms are getting mentioned now. Before you know it us gun-toting, crate drinking, nest destroying, river polluting miscreants will be slapped with another order in council.....

The Waipara river thing has been going for over 10years. Trouble is more people have built close to the river and they want all to them self's. Does not help there a lot of drop kicks out there giving good 4wd uses a bad name.Quote:

This is the squeaky wheel thing , and some of what has been written not really true, like owning to centre of the river. There is a paper road up the side the river above Stringer bridge.
The same with us Jetboating the Waipara, last time we did it some dude was trying to take photos of us as we came back down.
You mean a photo to gee that looks cool or wtf is he doing here. :)Quote:

I wouldn't shed a tear if firearm licences were revoked because of shit like this, although there is a distinct possibility that licences may be considered optional by those muppets.
Ahhh as an ex DOC Ranger not quite right on the very little powers - search -seize -obstruction - lay charges - yup the powers are there its just that as a Ranger in the field the back up from higher up the chain to progress the charges simply on to many occasions is not thereQuote:
