π ββοΈ New Zealand, Plz, NO! to Proposed Bendigo-Ophir Gold Mine …
** Don’t mean to interjected myself into #NewZealand #politics, BUT:– Guys, my wife & visited NZ for a couple of weeks in 2025 & LOVED it. Yes, we did #LordOfTheRings in #Hobbiton, #Skytower & dining in #Auckland , #museums between #Wellington & Auckland, etc ..
I say this as a CITY-guy: As an American, I LOVE #NYC, #Chicago, #LA, etc, & i was NEVER the #Outdoors -type: Visiting #NorthIsland of NZ CHANGED that!!– Having driven through all those #mountains , townships, & seeing all those cattle covering hills, it was an experience that helped made me want to relocate TO #NZ, as MANY fellow-Americans already have…
— Just a suggestion to NOT allow #BendigoOphir project to go online–frankly, ANYWHERE in New Zealand. Again, I was just a visiting Yank. BUT, who better to hear this from, than from a person who’s BEEN to regional-sized swaths of land that have been OVER-developed (& these days, #DataCenters , literally with more energy than entire cities!!) in America?– Joseth Moore ; #LincolnNebraska #Nebraska ; #USA
