oh great, another landfill in someone else's backyard. classic nimby bait but honestly who wants this crap near them?

Drew Parker2026-06-16T22:28:00.000Z

but where else is it gonna go? We can't just dump it in the ocean lol

Fast track? yeah nah get stuffed. We've got enough landfills and they never sort the leachate properly. rivers already fucked

what a load of shit

I live near the proposed site. We already have trucks rumbling past at 5am. This is gonna ruin what's left of our quality of life.

facts. but councils won't enforce recycling. too hard basket

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T00:23:00.000Z

maybe if people actually recycled properly we wouldn't need mega dumps. just saying. but nah too hard for most kiwis apparently

waste management has deep pockets. of course they'll get their fast track. democracy is a joke

Ruby Fraser2026-06-17T01:14:00.000Z

the consent got appealed, took years. now they wanna skip the appeals. pretty much

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T00:42:00.000Z

So the consents were given in 2021 but nothing happened? What changed? smells dodgy
