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.
for you to say from your couch. These are real people's lives.
enough, but pretending the old ways would last forever is just copium. Change is hard but necessary.
Heartbreaking for the workers. My mate's dad has been there 20 years, no idea what he's gonna do now.
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.

Yeah nah typical. Foreign-owned company takes the profits and leaves the mess for us to clean up. Should've nationalised the foreshore and forests back in the day.
Cry me a river. Mill was outdated, logging's not sustainable anyway. Time to retrain for something that's not gonna kill the planet.
one mate, why don't you come up here and say that to their faces?
your solution is? Some of us need to feed our families.
Anyone know if the govt is offering any support? Or is it just a 'good luck chur' kind of situation?
But what about all the immigrants taking jobs down south? Just saying...
got nothing to do with them. This is just greedy shareholders.
always gotta drag that in. Get stuffed.
Seen this coming for years. Shoulda diversified the local economy instead of relying on one massive employer. Now we pay the price.
Winston Peters where are you? Actually nah don't bother, he's busy collecting his pension.
He's too busy trying to figure out how to blame China.
