“Significant Natural Areas”: Wellington City Council’s Plan to Expropriate and Rewild Home Gardens
Barbara McKenzie started this petition to Wellington City Council
Wellington City Council has designated some 160 “Significant Natural Areas” in the District Plan. This policy will give protected status to part or all of 1693 private properties, mostly the back gardens of suburban homes. As a consequence of this high-handed action, homeowners:
- Lose the right to use and enjoy their property as they wish;
- Suffer a loss – often dramatic – in the value of their property.
- Are experiencing extreme distress as a consequence.
The Council’s SNA policy is:
- Counter productive: Council’s weaponising of native bush provides a huge disincentive to encourage native regrowth.
- Undemocratic: there has been no public debate; this was not a declared policy by any candidate at the last local election. Efforts to inform affected owners or the public at large have been inadequate.
- Dishonest: native plants regenerating on former farmland, toxic weeds, camellias and agapanthus do NOT constitute significant indigenous biodiversity of national importance under the RMA.
- Unlawful: The Council claims authority from the Resource Management Act, Section 6 (c). There is nothing in the RMA that justifies the forced rewilding of environmentally insignificant land in private ownership.
- Unconstitutional: Legislation Guidelines adopted by Cabinet in 2021 recognise respect for property as a fundamental constitutional principle: “People are entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of their property”.
- Totally contrary to New Zealand values, and the values of a modern democratic society.
The purpose of the policy is to forcibly rewild private property, riding rough-shod over the rights, wishes and interests of Wellingtonians, and to normalise land expropriation.
Furthermore, by overlaying existing reserves with an SNA designation, there are implications for the use, management and development of public parks and open spaces.
Wellington City Councils SNA policy is unworkable on multiple levels. The Council must:
- Remove all reference to SNAs in the district plan;
- Apologise to landowners for unjustifiably causing angst and expense.

Join the Freedom Convoy
Recently, Freedom Fighter Nation was informed that approximately 38,000 Canadian truckers were walking off the job due to mandates going into effect on January 15 and 22, 2022, that would prevent Canadian and US truckers from crossing the border if they are unvaccinated. We immediately reached out to our Canadian brothers and sisters to better understand the issue, at which point we discovered that it was NOT just the Truckers. Apparently, large segments of an otherwise peaceful and relaxed citizenry north of our border have had it: Canada is taking their country back, by way of a nationwide Convoy-Freedom-Protest, and we are uniting efforts and taking ours back too!
As those of us at Freedom Fighter Nation know, the Biden Administration has been playing a giant game of chicken with the American workforce over the last few months by forcing a vaccine mandate that was unlawful – as the U.S. Supreme Court recently held – and in so doing, undermining our freedoms by way of coercing American workers into taking the vaccine. Unfortunately, the government of Canada has been behaving in a similar fashion. But throughout history, countries have risen and fallen on the backs of the blue-collar boys and girls, and this era is no different. The decision by Trudeau and Biden to prevent trucker crossings at our borders by unvaccinated workers was the last straw – it represented the proverbial match that ignited a nation to action: the Canadian truckers have planned a convoy-protest, and America is joining in. It will now be termed the Canadian-US Freedom Convoy.
Americans will meet our neighbors to the north at the three border crossings listed as a show of unity and solidarity. We are sending a million man message to Trudeau and Biden that their days of tyranny are over, that totalitarian governments will no longer be tolerated, and that we are reclaiming our rightful system of government which is by the people and for the people.
This convoy is open to all freedom-lovers: Farmers, moms in Volvos, plumbers, teachers, nurses, doctors, mechanics, restaurant employees, retirees and students – EVERYONE. If you are within a day’s ride to one of these borders – GO!!!
ALL TRUCKERS — as well as all other citizens with automobiles – can support the Canadian-US Freedom Convoy. People from both countries are encouraged to participate and support your fellow Freedom Fighters.
When: Saturday, January 29th at 12:00 noon EST
Where: Rendezvous at the border locations listed below on.
- Woodstock, Maine
- Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
- Sweet Grass, Montana
Convoy Route Information: Canadian Truckers can visit the Canada Unity – Bear Hug 2.0 website for more details about the various convoy routes, meeting spots and times.
Trucker Channel Information: Canada truckers will be reaching out to US counterparts to RALLY. Come out in support With Your Rigs/Cars/Trucks, and convoy to the borders.
- Canadian Truckers use channel 1
- US Truckers use channel 19
We also are asking for names of truckers that would be willing to strap short-term signage to their trailers. If you are interested, reach out to Maureen at 406-240-7881. Folks, this isn’t about a vaccine: this is about Freedom. … continue

Land grabs, health passes, we can all see where this is heading based on history as well as new innovations on the same themes!
The White Rose had an article about who is behind it, so I did some further homework. And yes, it looked like a setup.

You can blame the mouth pieces for the WEF too and the key player might surprise you.
The push to get everyone vaxxed may have more to do with getting everyone hooked up on a digital control system than it is about health.
The trans tasman counter part of Oz ie New Zealand have let the cat out of the bag in this regard.
Watch “4TH Industrial Revolution and New Zealand Roll” on YouTube
Doc link below. Just look at the timeline on page 5, it looks well dodgy like it was planned.

I am not sure how this fits into other countries but it looks like NZ were picked to be the trial.
The passport will then be linked to a digital wallet.

Just like Gazuntite Pass, could it ever happen again?
New Zealand seems to be the key driver powered by the WEF.

Hopefully the YouTube video won’t be censored by the time you see this but the doc links is attached anyway.
