Bay of Plenty rūnanga hopes forestry bio-hub bid would bring jobs

Jack Morrison2026-07-09T05:05:46.000Z

Great idea, jobs for the local iwi. About time something useful came out of all those pine trees.

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T05:46:46.000Z

you must be new here. Jobs means 3 month contracts then ghosted.

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T05:22:46.000Z

Yeah but watch them give the contract to some overseas company anyway. Seen it happen too many times.

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T05:50:46.000Z

Ain't that the truth. Promises, promises.

Jack Morrison2026-07-09T05:51:46.000Z

nah they'll stuff it up somehow. But gotta try i guess.

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T05:47:46.000Z

Does this mean we get cheaper power or just more trees cut down? Honest question

Reagan Shaw2026-07-09T06:08:46.000Z

bloody hope so, sick of having to move out of the bay for work. would be mean to work local

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T06:20:46.000Z

Rūnanga hopes? So they're not even sure. Classic talkfest with no follow through 🙄

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T06:33:46.000Z

of us want to stay and work, not just complain on facebook. Good on them for trying

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T07:10:46.000Z

stuffed. At least they're doing something. What have you done lately?

Jack Morrison2026-07-09T06:31:46.000Z

Y'all are so negative. At least someone's trying to bring industry back to the regions.

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T06:46:46.000Z

hope they actually hire locals this time and not just bring in workers from aus

Reagan Shaw2026-07-09T07:00:46.000Z

facts. sick of the negativity here. good news for once and ppl still complain

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T07:00:46.000Z

Those trees are invasive anyway. Might as well turn them into something useful.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-09T07:05:46.000Z

anyone know where it's meant to go? could be near my place hope not

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T07:18:46.000Z

They said this years ago with the kiwifruit hub. Still waiting.
