The problem does not appear to be the tourists - its just a lack of facilities! Instead of Councils supporting these self appointed Wardens driving tourists (and their much need money) out of the country how about they do something constructive like build some basic amenities!

what is the difference between a freedom camper and an occupy activist ? i like freedom camping, and maybe i will use a "I protest about everything" sign so that i cannot be moved. or better still, maybe these laws that apply to freedom campers should be applied to the octogan and aotea square ??
