Thread: ecan more useless than tits on a bull??

Ecan/CCC/DOC been aware and attempting to overcome the canada problem over burwood/brighton/thelower avon &the estuary for years so thats not new.
In the last 12months iIve reported on the same on this very forum ,and had work colleagues offer to pay me to induce a little death to canadas who feed&crap on their front lawns.
Hilarious is the times Ive seen POLICE cars parked in vacated areas and on the avon banks as the boys fed the geese -I shit you not!
Jesus wept I had a DOCmanager tell me how the CCC attempted to clear burwoods "bottle lake" of canadas using suppressed .22s -an exercise in futility -wonder why.?
Ecan are a bunch of govt appointed local govt politicians run by an ex psychiatric nurse whose role on N Z now is the Granny that uncle john key releases on you if you displease wellington HQ.
if it aint on a a spreadsheet or in a document by a subservient office wallah,they wont recognise the bird if up and bit em on the collective arse!

true enough
obviously the excrement from a few thousand waterfowl outwieghs the lack of dredging the overflow from a few hundred thousand people and other assorted town crap.
just heard a ad on the raido for boating on the avon and the antiqua boatsheds.

The highest levels of E coli was observed at the Antigua Boatsheds on the Avon River - mostly from wildfowl.

somehow that was her jusification for damming it so that farmers could use it first .??
no mention of what the water quality might be like after the farmers new found water largesse would allow to plant spray and fertilize.
run off what run off

Our 190 farmer shareholders have invested $10 million developing the scheme and when Stage
One becomes a reality, after the nine consents that have been granted become unencumbered,
it will be a major contribution to the local economy,” say Adams.
“The original economic evaluation for the full sized scheme of 58,500 hectares was forecast to
boost the district economy by $480 million and result in an additional 3,400 jobs in the region,”
says Adams.
“The initial scheme size will be smaller, closer to 20% of that size but still represents a $100
million boost to the regional economy and 680 jobs. This will help relieve the district of the
extraordinary challenges and threats it faces,” he says

sounds a lot of fuss and mess for a small gain for a favoured few.and we all know the jobs if they eventuate will be low paid temporary and at the will of stock/ crop prices.
or farmed out to imigrint labour pardon the pun.

HWP's application for financial support was turned down after the council considered that the risk was simply too high and that it would not be prudent to lend to a private business and take on a risk that it could not control.

sound the trumpets king john and prince billy to the rescue with some help from friar gerry maybe.
