Some staunch Sanctuary/council supporters would prefer BVCG to pay up and go away. The legality of this poison drop has nation wide implication which needs to be settled by law hence BVCG is following through what we started even though our Valley were poisoned.
As for paying up. This is my personal view: 'The question of why should a community group pay the Sanctuary expenses when their legal representation had been pro bono? David Butler announced during the Sanctuary AGM that they had received the value of $600,000 pro bono work from their law firm and in addition the Sanctuary set up a Givealittle page and received further $32.000 from donations towards legal expenses. I don't believe it is right. Aren’t the council/raterpayer donations enough to keep their $300,000+ salaries per year enough?'
The appeal was held in front of three judges, no new evidence were allowed into the hearing. It is expected to take about 2-3 months before we hear the outcome of this appeal.

Rotary composter. Originally from Mitre10. Still in great condition. Very handy as it has wheels to move it around. No handle on this model, you just spin the drum. Works really well.

Does it make sense to buy teenagers bigger beds so they have more room to grow? Or, like writer and mum Jayne D'Arcy, do you think a double could equal trouble later on?

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

I have kept this up every day since then and now have 2252 original works available to anyone interested in this subject. My first book, 'To Insanity And Beyond' by t.j.hurford was published by Audio Arcadia in the U.K.. (couldn't find an NZ publisher/agent), is available on both Lulu and Amazon or through the publisher. My poem today is about a failing nation, but my work covers many subjects from aliens/sci fi to romance and war themes, humour and religion. I am heavily influenced by the English classicists, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Milton et al. and Rudyard Kipling as well as 'Carry On films' etc.. Please take a look. I also write short stories at oswald'slamppost...
