I don't like 1080 either and agree that it is only used because it results in a lot of fat cat pockets getting fatter. I find it hard not to get bitter and angry on the subject to be honest.

Seems to me that the people advocating it have never been in bombed out silent bush, I mean how else could you justify it?

There is a bit of noise here (Wanaka) at the moment about getting the Makarora and Wilkin Valley drops stopped, I shall do some research and get involved.

We've had a succession of f-wits as "minister/ esses of Conservation' I think Clark and Key simply pick total morons who are only good at signing off the bullshit prepared by the long term fixed notion pro poison staffers who are occupying government desks as fossil samples and Forest and Bird extremist advocates and good for FA else.

Has anyone got a link or a PDF copy of the paper stating 1080 isn't water soluble? I've read it somewhere (I think on the fnh site) but can't find it again.

1080 is soluble, just like coffee. But coffee is still coffee, and 1080 is still 1080, dissolved or not. You might be getting confused by the oft made claims by the Forest and Bird and AHB / DoC extremists who keep saying it breaks down readily in water. This is a very misleading statement. 1080 in cold water may not "break down" for months or even years. It will break down in warm water when certain bacteria are present, but this seldom occurs in NZ's cold clear forest streams.

That's right Woody, and there is a scientific paper about that somewhere. Along with another couple of interesting facts.
