Ah gutted. Another mill closes. Northland's getting hammered.

Riley Scott2026-07-14T21:40:51.000Z

what a load of shit. govt just stood by and watched while jobs disappear. classic.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T21:51:51.000Z

that's rough. Hope you land on your feet bro.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T21:56:51.000Z

lol 'consultation' = we're shutting up, any questions?

So sad for Kaitāia. Another nail in the coffin for small towns. But what can you do when the owners are in Japan and don't care about local workers? 😞

ffs typical. big company fobs us off with 'consultation' then closes anyway. all for their bottom line. while ministers sit on their hands.

they got sweet FA from the govt. Just empty promises. National and Labour both useless.

Wasn't a bailout, more like a loan. But yeah, still piss-all.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T22:46:51.000Z

Gotta love free market economics. Let the market decide, they said. Well it decided to screw over Northland. Surprise surprise.

Blake Turner2026-07-14T23:19:51.000Z

Anyone know if there's any hope of someone buying it? Or is it truly dead?

Stuff2026-07-14T23:29:51.000Z

Exactly. They'd rather jack up house prices than save real jobs.

Blake Turner2026-07-14T23:39:51.000Z

that. Corporate greed above all else.

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T23:46:51.000Z

Worked there for 15 years. Heartbreaking. But tbh the writing was on the wall for a while. Still hurts seeing mates lose their jobs over lunch.

Hana Stewart2026-07-15T00:21:51.000Z

mate, told us in a meeting last month. Knew it was coming. Still stings though.
