You could always claim ignorance of the law, thats pretty much what Mr Wong is doing.
Wish I'd known when I walked up to the Pinnacles, i would have put my foot in his paddock through the fence and gone "NAH na na nan nAH NAH
That'd show him.

Its a long walk if you go to the pinnacles via Kawakawa.

Ignorance of the law isn't really a valid defense.

Jesus wept, sorry I made a comment.


But go on hate on me not the poor misunderstood foreign owner thats done the Wong thing

Can I hear twanging and pinging noises?

I have friends and family in China, they call us "strawberrys" over there, because we collapse easily... Rich clowns all over the world, act like "Eric".. I've come across plenty of Our Own, in this country , with exactly the same attitude and behaviour. The best we can do, is to immediately start lobbying the appropriate Ministers, plus get National Radio involved before any deals are done. The media can be a powerfull tool, everyone would get pissed really fast if this was being talked about on air, and he would get what he deserves pretty quickly. I'll bet "this" PM isnt playing golf with them like the last one, and Aruveda is controlling the milk-scene over there now, after careful marketing of the botulism-scare through that Silk-Purse whose husband owns most of it.TXT National Radio :2101

He's not from China He's a British National from Hongkong.

If you read what I say then you will notice that I was saying that not knowing what the law is isn't a valid defense if you're charged.

I never said anything about walking on the land.

It would be great if there were meaningful change about foreign ownership of land here.

The media is indeed a powerful tool. Just observe how well 'givealittle' works.

In court now as they try to sell.

If the govt doesn't ensure access, then the world will know that a contract in NZ is not binding. Pandora's box is a toy box in comparison.

Quote..”Those gutless bureaucrats ..........”

Mate...you forgot to add,.....Greedy!!!!!!

Absolutely gutted that “we”allow this country to be “given-away”at its residents expense to someone who doesn’t share our values and heritage,and only uses it as a tax shelter to be sold for a greater profit down the road!!!!!!.......I have no respect for our elected officials who think they are “movie-stars”,yet are public servants...they are a farking SHAM!!!!

No warning, just do it right now.

Just declare his previously-legally-purchased assets illegal if kept by the current owner, after a certain date. Talk about compensation in theory but demonstrate no good will in practice. List lots of confusing rules and threaten the present legal owner with dire consequences if he tries to now use the now-illegal land. There is a recent precedent.

We need to wise up to how things work in other parts of the world.

This is what "likely to adversely affect New Zealand's image overseas as a place to invest" means. It is a poorly veiled threat. The Chinese love to threaten and are very comfortable with it.

They have sent their entire upper echelon to Western Universities, so lately they have developed the Brittish Empire/American Empire practice of signing agreements, getting what they want, then ignoring the agreements because they can.

Probably didnt want to clean up after tourists leaving their garbage everywhere.

Great idea, just make sure the "certain date" is in the past and freeze his ability to sell it.
