Silly Dame

Written by 

Your old mate asks is it arrogance, stupidity or are they crying poor?

The news that mega-wealthy Hugh Fletcher and wife Dame Sian Elias' cattle were photographed recently down at sensitive Lake Taylor for a swim and a drink beggars belief. The reality is that under section 14 3B of the RMA, the Fletcher-Elias are entitled to take water from the lake to give to their cattle. All it would take is a pump, a length of pipe and a water trough. Shall we hold a cake stall outside the Supreme Court to fund this for the poor darlings? The Hound reckons people who are the law should know it – no excuses.
