The fight to keep kauri dieback out of Warkworth's Parry Kauri Park

The Kauri tree is one of the biggest/ oldest trees in the world that is going to slowly extinct if we don't do anything about the disease infecting it. This disease is called the kauri dieback, which has already spread throughout numerous parks and killed many trees. A specific park in Warkworth north of Auckland has a whole lot of kauri trees that they are trying to protect from the kauri dieback. Due to this problem, the President of the park, Ray Jensen has put broad walks and cleaning stations that help protect the park from the infection. Just like Jenny Marcroft and Mels Barton who have stated in one of there interviews about the kauri trees have said that the community should notice this, I believe that the council and the community should pay attention to these problems to stop our native kauri trees from dying of the Kauri Dieback disease/ infection. They could start by building broad walks and cleaning stations in areas where the disease hasn't spread to. This could be passed onto the government if the problem gets out of hand.

How a BILL becomes and ACT (Law)

Government Decisions

I think that foreign landowners should not be allowed to sell NZ bottled water, simply because they might take all the credit when it becomes successful. That is my opinion, however, Marama Davidson (Green Party co-leader) had a lot to say about this. Her reason was a bit similar to mine, she stated that we to make sure that we are not giving away this resource to foreign land buyers to sell to the international corporations that reap profits from the expense of New Zealand's best interests.

Survivor blog reflection

Problems we faced while surviving were having a lack of clothes, getting resources and food and lastly the pirates that attacked us. We solved the lack of clothes problem by getting some off the people on the island. Getting resources and food was pretty hard but in the end, the people on the island helped us gather them. The solution to the pirate problem would be to fight back. I made the decisions. I was the one who made the decisions because they voted me as the leader. We tried voting, but that didn't work so we just picked a random person in our group. We're linking this to our next topic about the government.
