Oh You Killers - Protest Song No Sand Mining Bream Bay
My name is Rupert Newbold and I am a longtime resident of Ocean Beach, Whangarei Heads. I have lived most of my life in this area am a keen surfer and fisherman and am very involved in various aspects of landcare and conservation here. I wrote this song mostly because I am strongly opposed to seabed sandmining and due to the fast-track process the general population doesn't get a say in any decision making. So, I am making my thoughts known and trying to get the message out to more people, because hopefully weight of numbers will affect to decision process in our favour.
