Freedom Camper Parinoia

Tom P from Lynmouth - Moturoa

At Waiwakaio I had a friend hear the loaded questions from that reporter of the article in Neighbourly; ,trying to rack up the interviewees opinion against so called freedom Campers. He conveniently forgot to add that most people there commented how clean the whole area is now, with the addition at last, of the new Jumbo rubbish bin, etc. Also how clean the toilet block was. For his information, its not only back-packer & foreigners that use the area, there also are a substitutional number of ordinary Kiwi motor homers using the area, in their hard earned retirement.  The emotional rhetoric being pushed by the local news media's needs a swift kick in the butt to touch.  These are mostly ordinary people trying to mind their own business and have a wee relaxed break. Can the news media try and break-out of this crazy PC, follow the "Lead- Leeming view" and be a bit more unbiased in a report.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
