In 1892, a politician named McKenzie introduced a bill to the NZ parliament, whereby ALL citizens of this country had unrestricted access to all rivers, lakes, mountains and beaches and made the Queen's Chain more explicit.
As I understand, this was every citizen's birthright when I was growing up in this country. This was known as the 1892 Land Act.
When was this act overturned or is it simply ignored in this day of greed and possession?
I am appalled at the apathy from the public with the proposed legislation affecting every New Zealander, but even more appalled at the high-handedness of the politicians implementing it. When Evil prospers, it's because good people do nothing.
Wake up New Zealand!
