50 win no. 1 106 Report post Posted December 17, 2019 Well done Westland. The idea you can pass a law and grab land and buildings that don't belong to you bloody stupid. Exactly how Maori were dispossessed of their land. Now we got to hope that the council doesn't sell it away to the councillors mates Breeder 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredd002 95 Report post Posted December 17, 2019 The difference between your highlighted thread and this one is - one is full of hypothetical comment and this one is factual, detailing the actions of a Racing Club prepared to stop the consequences of the proposed legislation, to ensure land and surplus funds are retained in the district and, hopefully for the benefit of the local community.

If you have another look you'll see that conversation was started by rdytdy posting exactly the same link you just did but last Friday. Just saying.

Leggy 4,005 Report post Posted December 17, 2019 Actually sorry it was a link to the facts themselves, not a newspaper report of them. The actual report to council. https://www.westlanddc.govt.nz/sites/default/files/12.12.19 - Report to Council - Westland Racing Club Purchase of Land.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
