Our petition to the Office of the Ombudsman to force the TDC to review it's freedom camping bylaw
Hey Folks, our petition to the Office of the Ombudsman is gaining traction. We're over half way to the goal of 1000 supporters.
If you haven't seen it yet check it out:

The long and the short of it is, most of us have realized that talking with the TDC about getting this annual freedom camping disaster sorted out is like talking to a brick wall. We think it amounts to Maladministration and that's what the Ombudsman is there to sort out. Let's see if we can get enough local support to get her (I'm pretty sure it's a lady in charge at the moment) to step in and kick the TDC up the bum.
There is a fair bit of information about stuff which affects how we can manage freedom camping in Tasman in the updates section of the petition. It won't cost you a cent and will only take a few clicks and two minutes of your time to support us, and this thing has the potential to set a real legal precedent and affect how the effects of freedom camping are managed not just in Tasman but NZ wide.
