If NZ had the resources to have journalists writing real stories for the newspapers, perhaps someone could spend the time finding out what the case was here. Has the tussock been taken over by weeds? Does it miss the grazing? etc. some measurements of different paddocks (still grazed and no longer grazed) as I am sure DOC would have to measure this the same way it measures regenerating forest. If someone could prove that removing grazing was detrimental to the tussock, would DOC be prepared to return to grazing? One would ask what the tussock did before we arrived with our merinos. Perhaps it evolved over time to adapt to grazing and over time, will evolve back?

It’s not small.

It is not that he made fun of the name “dikshit”, it is that he said it was appropriate bcos she is indian too! That’s what irks me.
I agree with freedom of speech and democracy, but he has gone too far with his comments.
Racist? No, I don’t think so.
Immature, boyish? Yes, definitely.
Likeable by many kiwis? Yes. But, why? Bcos they all say he speaks the truth. Look I don’t mind him saying this over some backyard conversation with a few drinks on a Saturday evening, but this is not something that should be said on live national TV.
Should he resign? Yes, not just bcos of this comment, but also bcos of his moustache gate comment and other ridiculous stuff he has mentioned. Going by the trend of stuff he has said, it is obvious he is going to be in more heat later on too. And to avoid such future embarrassment, it is right he has resigned.

One more comment to all you kiwis. Look, we are not trying to beat you down and control what you are saying. I know the kiwi way of life and how you like to very open and free. By bringing to the fore the absolutely ridiculous comments that PH has made, we are not trying to be politically correct or something. I think you have picked on a wrong issue to highlight why so many kiwis hate PC.

Stunning views but lots of big, slow vehicles. I can see why people who use the gorge often aren’t happy with the time it’s taking to reopen it.

Yes, think often of time in Herrsching, in fact, I feel a reminisce (I’m gonna have to look that up) coming on. I still keep in touch with Gabi from Uruguay and Daniel from Costa Rica and Sabine from Germany, in fact, more than I do Juanita, which is naughty. She has four or five kids now. Let me see. George. Rose, Sam. James and possibly a baby….. I will pick up the phone this week – thanks for the shove! Have your email address now, so will send a personal note. Kate

I was thinking of our time in Herrshing with Juanita and wondered how you both were – now I can see what you are up to. Hope life is treating you and your family well…..drop me a line sometime….
