Currently pine plantations comprise the majority of the council's 640ha forestry assets, although in 2018 a decision was made to retire 140ha and replant them in permanent native forest.
What do you think council should do with its forestry assets in the future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Craig has suggested that we have a meet up in Richmond coffee shop to discuss forming a local bitcoin community I think it is a fabulous idea would anyone else be keen ?

I thought I'd go and check out this Billy T K, as I had heard people talk about him so much.

He also raises some issues where we know that the official line has been less than honest in the past, so that sounded interesting.
And, you know, trying to be open, do my own research, think for myself, that is important, isn't it?
So I found one of his talks and listened to it. On Facebook.
It seems quite an informal little talk, just off-the-cuff, in a day-to-day environment.
A few minutes into the talk I hear this sentence:
"Without Democracy you don't have Outdoors, you don't have Conservatism, you don't have Monetary Reform, you don't have anything".
Having done a bit of study in social psychology, that made my ears prick up.
I asked myself: "What is he actually trying to say?"
"No outdoors without democracy?! Eh??"
Having learned to analyse this kind of thing, I found all these red flags:
1) It's a sentence that is meant to arouse emotion, rather than convey any real meaning.
2) Look at it: 'Outdoors', 'Conservatism' etc...
A sentence that means nothing but chimes with as many as possible.
2)The sentence structure also, with its sequence of buzz words, is designed to be emotive and bypass clear thinking.
Straight from the handbook of manipulation.
That is not just a little informal off-the-cuff talk, there is some sophisticated speech writing behind it!
He's just there to attack the govt, sow confusion.
Who for?
My guess is as good as yours.

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.
Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.
Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.
When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.
“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

Glad to be part of restoration to former glory of this great old house
