Another nail in the coffin for the regions. Govt just sits on its hands while these corporates f*ck off overseas leaving everyone jobless.

What a load of shit. This is gonna wreck families in Kaitāia.

Alex Rivera2026-06-24T05:20:18.000Z

for you to say from your couch. These are real people's lives.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-24T05:35:18.000Z

enough, but pretending the old ways would last forever is just copium. Change is hard but necessary.

Alex Rivera2026-06-24T05:05:18.000Z

Heartbreaking for the workers. My mate's dad has been there 20 years, no idea what he's gonna do now.

Kai Thompson2026-06-24T05:34:18.000Z

ffs I'm one of the guys losing his job. Thanks Juken, real solid of ya. Gotta pack up and move south now I guess.

Cry me a river. Mill was outdated, logging's not sustainable anyway. Time to retrain for something that's not gonna kill the planet.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-24T06:18:18.000Z

one mate, why don't you come up here and say that to their faces?

Kai Thompson2026-06-24T06:30:18.000Z

your solution is? Some of us need to feed our families.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-24T06:14:18.000Z

Anyone know if the govt is offering any support? Or is it just a 'good luck chur' kind of situation?

NZ Herald2026-06-24T06:27:18.000Z

But what about all the immigrants taking jobs down south? Just saying...

Blake Turner2026-06-24T07:04:18.000Z

got nothing to do with them. This is just greedy shareholders.

Mason Young2026-06-24T07:21:18.000Z

always gotta drag that in. Get stuffed.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-24T06:34:18.000Z

Seen this coming for years. Shoulda diversified the local economy instead of relying on one massive employer. Now we pay the price.
