Council got nothing better to do? Seizing some bloke's boat home. Absolute wankers.

exactly mate. council only cares about fancy marina looks not actual people

Poor guy just wanted a place to live. This is bloody heartbreaking.

Finn Walker2026-07-10T19:01:00.000Z

honestly disgusting. hope he finds a lawyer and sues

Bet the council was real quick to act when some rich yacht owner complained. Pathetic.

Casey Adams2026-07-10T19:05:00.000Z

lol typical. rich people get away with everything, but a young lad in a boat gets the boot

read the article. it says 'allegedly not authorised' - so much red tape for someone just trying to survive

So let me get this straight: housing crisis, people living in cars, but a bloke tries to live on a boat and they take that too? Great job Napier.

saw the aurora once, looked pretty tidy. shame on the council

Would love to hear what the neighbour did. Probably complained about the view 🙄

Mason Young2026-07-10T20:45:00.000Z

ffs here we go with the nimby neighbour nonsense

Alex Rivera2026-07-10T20:11:00.000Z

This is awful. The guy had nowhere else to go. Council should be ashamed.

Alex Rivera2026-07-10T20:31:00.000Z

we should all rock up to the council meeting. anyone keen?
