Poll: Do you think the changes will help stop street racers?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Boy racers have been put on notice: their cars may now be at risk of a presumptive sentence of vehicle destruction or forfeiture, with one minister saying illegal street racing “is not going to be tolerated”.

A sweeping tranche of new laws aimed at putting the brakes on illegal street racing were announced on Sunday morning in Rotorua by Police Minister Mark Mitchell and Transport Minister Chris Bishop.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
