The crime of course, is the provincial and federal government pension plans own Timberwest, so essentially, they are selling off the forests, and the forestry jobs, to ensure the insolvent government pension plans stay afloat, and continue to pay out far more than anyone ever contributed. Converting the South Island forests into a developer’s playground will ensure the “pension-party” carries on, while the average schmo can barely afford a roof over their heads.
And guess who gets to “approve” the conversion of the zoned industrial forest lands to residential subdivisions?........the same people who benefit from the quick buck!!!! Go figure. Don’t be fooled, we are all getting shafted by these dodgy deals and it is only going to get worse in coming years.
Is there not a radio site at the summit? Or is that deactivated?

Nice looking 4Runner. That was the best looking generation before they put the predator mouth on it.
I second the intent to keep VI off-road drama free.
