Motiti hapu's main bid to remove the Rena is their belief Astrolabe Reef is a spiritual gateway, and the gateway is impeded by the wreck. This is key to resource consent considerations.
If I was a born-again Christian and believed the Rena should stay put, as it creates a magnetic field that enhances the communication of prayer between Heaven and Earth, would this be considered?
Or would I be written off as a nutter, God-botherer or both? Decisions on the Rena should be made on the basis of science, not superstition.
