Thank you everyone for your replies and support, the petition is up and running, early days, but I need your help.
I am planning to do Bell Block , foot slogging , the CBD and the airport; I don't expect you to do this but some of you have asked me for the petition form so they can take it to friends, family, clubs, work etc.
When I did the petition for the walkway past John Matthews' factory a lot of people did the same, and took petition forms around friend family etc, and it is that which was the most successful method.
If you feel you can help in this way, I can email, post or deliver the form to you.
Obviously if people have signed the online petition the must not sign the paper form.
It is creating traction but we need everyone who feels disenfranchised and annoyed by this decision to stand up and fight for our history.
I look forward to hearing from you as many of you as possible.
Thank you in anticipation

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
