The South liad District Council has unanimously backed the proposed Haast-Hollyford Highway going forward for government approval.
The controversial 130 km toll road, planned by a private company, would pass through the Fiordland National Park. It is expected to cost $250 million.
The road has the support of all four West Coast councils and many local people, but needed Southland's backing to proceed.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing



In 1985 New Zealand was basking in its position as leader of the anti-nuclear movement. As a country it had clearly punched above its weight. Then, just before midnight on the evening of 10 July, two explosions ripped through the hull of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior, which was moored at Marsden Wharf in Auckland

A Portuguese crew member, Fernando Pereira, was killed in the explosions. The Rainbow Warrior had been involved in protests over French nuclear testing in the Pacific. French Secret Service (DGSE) agents were sent to prevent it leaving for another protest campaign at Mururoa Atoll.

Two DGSE officers, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, were arrested on 24 July. Both were charged with murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment. The case was a source of considerable embarrassment to the French government. While the attack was on an international organisation rather than New Zealand itself, most New Zealanders did not make such a distinction. The fact that it was committed on New Zealand territory by a supposed friend produced a sense of outrage and a serious deterioration in relations between New Zealand and France.

1981 springbok tour

In 1981 For 56 days in July, August and September 1981, New Zealanders were divided against each other in the largest civil disturbance seen since the 1951 waterfront dispute. More than 150,000 people took part in over 200 demonstrations in 28 centres, and 1500 were charged with offences stemming from these protests.

I think the game should go ahead because I just want to watch the rugby it just a game of rugby

the doodle chapter 3


Carter looked up. His face was red and his neck was puffing up. His body was starting to grow. His pants and top were ripping he is hulk. His veins are pop like eels.


 Everyone runs and  Carter destroyed the whole  City.  He used his Hulk powers and shot green goo out of his eyeballs. Stomps on buildings and smashes walls and trucks and cars. He is out of control.


What do we do now? We run.  The whole world is destroyed Hulk smashed all the buildings but 3 building stayed up the army tries to kill Hulk but they can't so the army and Airforce and the navy try to kill Hulk but they still can't so the doodle comes in with an AK47 and shoot the Hulk   down but the Hulk got back up and he was a Good Guy.

Boom Writer Chapter 2

         The person that was being mean (Carter) is back in class. The guy with the notebook is going to try and get his drawing to get back at Carter for being mean to him. 

“Haha Carter I have a gun” said the drawing“Hurry up, draw me a gun”I drew a pistol“Draw the bullets” he asked. I didn’t know how to draw bullets so I just drew hotdogs. The doodle has hot dogs for bullets now. I quickly write a haiku. 

Carter you egg head I hate you I hope you die in pain. 

Pio pio! The bullets or hot dogs hit him. “Yuck” he screams loudly. The mustard hits his eyes it burns. Sauce dripped down his brand new shirt, the cheese sticks to his hair. “RIP Carter hahahahaha” the drawing said. Carter turns around and sees me laughing too. Carter's angry face looks like a armadillo and a zebra and a lion all mixed up. 

I ran out of the class and he jumps back in the book. I should probably give him a name. His name is Ricky. Ricky Baker. I run to the carpark and hotwire Mr McAulay’s Navara. I jump in and take off doing a big burn out in Carter's face.  He jumps in his hilux and stalls it. I laugh. I quickly write another  haiku. 

Carter I hope you crash and die in flames.

Reed Council funding of required earthquake strengthening works to the Left Bank Art Gallery building

Kia ora, My name is Reed and I am writing to you about the council funding of the strengthening works for the Left Bank Gallery. I am supporting option (choose the correct one) Option 1 To temporarily suspend the lease and fund the required earthquake strengthening works on the building to bring it to a minimum of 34% NBS. I want to save the building. So people and tourists can see a historic building. $330,000 is about how much a house costs. This is like a house for art that everyone can go to. Save it because it is an awesome building. Why do we keep losing so many buildings in Greymouth? If we keep doing it there will be no Greymouth left. Please save this building.
