I agree, its a piece of snow covered dirt for goodness sake! And "Sacrilege" - what a bunch of P.C B.S.

Normally I just turn a blind eye to the points of view of certain religions and cultures. It just really sucks when 'ordinary' people get caught up in the sanctimonious ramblings of these zealots/idiots.

And why is the pilot being treated harsher for his first offence than repeat drink driving offenders!! 'Sensible Sentencing' my lily white a**.

Offensive hovering?
Phew! Thought for a moment someone had seen me in my greasy mac, at the netball courts

Definitely laugh of the day for me..... ...!

Unbelievable!

"In the summary of facts read to the court, the Department of Conservation (DOC) said the 3754-metre peak represented, to Ngai Tahu, "the most sacred of ancestors, from whom Ngai Tahu descend and who provide the iwi with its sense of communal identity, solidarity and purpose"".
End quote.

Good grief, what a load of Cod's Wollop!...!

Ridiculous waste of tax payers money! We as a country will never move forward if we keep giving into absolute B..S... such as this.
On the lighter side i find it funny that they fined him basically a dollar a meter!
