384097 2005-08-27 07:53:00 What is this govt doing, i just cant believe this new zealand goverment. mabie its time we the public passed a law.
A new law that the public can give govt officals a swift kick up the ass everytime they do something stuiped.

This may end up being a very hot thread as for what im about to say may get a few people quite mad. Now i dont really care about the politics of things but here is a very interesting subject

The Forshore and the billion dollar unknown asset that kiwis know nothing about which some people are trying to get there greedy little hands on

Why arre govt bodys or other parties trying to claim the fore shores of new zealand, im aboput to tell you why a few people are up in arms about ownership

you see there is a certain type of seaweed that grows in new zealand and there is just tones and tones of it all over our coast lines
i know as i reasearched this and tryed setting up a business to havest the stuff but kept getting closed down unless i agreed to hand over 60% of the company to these interested parties.

heres the figures $$$$$$$$$$$$
there is over 100 billion dollars of unknown money sitting there to be claimed on our foreshores

What is it?????

Its is in its maufactured state "AGAR"
when tested it is rated as the highest yealding agar in the world
good old new zealand
for those who need a update
Agar is used in
womans cosmetics
stablizers in foods
and most importantly its used in the medical industry
remember growing cultures in science
thats agar

Countrys are screaming out for this stuff
it took me years to find out how to purley manufacture the stuff
and wow talk about the health bonus from eating it

as a drink you could make billions from selling it as a pure drink
if you like jelly you would would love the drink i make from this stuff

anyway if the forshores go into private hands
or whoever has the ownership will have all this money sitting there ready for the scoop

Advancement of agar is a product called
agar rose..
add 3 compound cemicals to this and
(wait for it ) this will blow your mind...........

add these 3 things and you create a solid which is harder than rock and lighter than air. yes i solid that is harder than rock but it will float
only thing it desovles at 30 Degress

so as you see this little subject gets quite interesting when we start going into detail about new zealands forshore

And as for the govt well
creativity in new zealand is just pushed back into its corner
i see every month great kiwis with great inventions, products and ideas all which will never get to the world

then regarding other concepts that would help exporting companies in new zealand increase trade and development.

these get refered to so called experts for evaluation
,mmm what if you are the expert in your feild like i am within my own feild
i had jim anderton say to me "your system wouldnt work"
well jim i say it would work a million times more than some of his stuoied policys

i think its about time we had a new party stand for govt
one that is new and for the development of fresh ideas
and instead of creating more dept by doing and buying more rubbish
sort out whats needed use the people and skills we have here

im sure if every new zealander had to give up $5 a month
not tax not interest but freely give up $5 a month
thats would create 36 million dollars the people of new zealand would have after one year to put towards a publicly voted new zealand project for the future of new zealanders - we would all vote on what its to be used for..

some of the items that are done and paid for by the govt are just amazing
mmm how about the ministry of healhs website
1 million dollars to build
and it doesnt even work right
it needs a total over hall... none of the govt departments in the MOH can share information correctly
1 million dollars built a peice of crap

hell i could have built a new global search engine for that price

hell 1 million dollars would buy a team of developers and graphic designers and programmers and run a company for 3 years if i had the contract
you know why
as there are programmers developers all out there without jobs
think of the development and creative team having 1 million dollars

anyway this has given the readers a few things to think about
and any govt members - sort ya **** out huh
sort out that sea weed
mabie that could bring the new zealand dept ddown and decrease taxes
or go to some other great topic
im sure it would create a lot of jobs too

384098 2005-08-27 08:12:00 Very deep . And easy to say . Maybe Jim Anderton is right? :waughh:

I know for a fact that there has been a seaweed industry in Bluff Harbour for 15 years . Exporting to Asia . Ultimately it failed but they had a go . So what you propose isn't impossible . :thumbs:

correct there is only one company in new zealand manufacturing currently and they are in auckland and they only manufacture on a small scale

what amazes me is the councils say "ohhh we have a seaweed problem""
this is true in some aspects as some seaweeds causes a real issue . . but hey seaweed is money . . that problem stuff is great for growing tomartos :)

re jim . . . lol

384100 2005-08-27 08:22:00 Interesting. In never knew about seaweed process you outlined. I guess that is one of the reasons the foreshore needs to remain under government control though, otherwise we may end up with a big company destroying the beaches to get it before everyone else does.

Interesting idea. I think you would have difficulty getting everyone to donate $5 for a project unless they knew exactly how it worked. I can see a process like this would be very complicated...

It would be like lotto
but be limited to 5 dollars
this would create enough to payout a major prize and help people get funded to start up businesses or do do courses so they could better themselfs and move off the dole .
i think its a great idea as its the new zealand people helping the new zealand people
it would also create jobs with these new start up companies

An interesting read. Don't read too much into inefficient bureaucracy, personally I doubt there is a conspiracy (although I could be wrong). Here you go : approach the local council(s) with an offer to clear the 'problem' seaweed and you will do it for $1 per tonne. You'll end up like that guy who had a council contract to fill in the great hole he made by quarrying an Auckland volcano. Anyway, if they won't pay you $1 / tonne, offer to clear it away for free as a volunteer to help preserve the marine environment (provided they supply truck to move the seaweed to your premises).

384103 2005-08-27 14:01:00 Are you sure this seaweed only grows around the NZ coastline and nowhere else?

Not Tasmania, the Pacific Islands, South America?

If so, go there and make your fortune. Waiting for the government to do something about it is like waiting for the second coming.

384104 2005-08-28 02:46:00 In the early 1970s, there was a new law which enabled just this sort of operation . I have an idea it was called the Marine Farming Act, or something like that . It allowed a company to apply for rights to an area of shore . After a licence was issued, there was a requirement for a certain amount of activity . . . such as putting up a building . A workmate of mine had the bright idea that this would let him have a bach on the shore, with the right to keep other people off "his" area .

Agar extraction was one of the "industries" explicitly envisaged . Obviously, if there is only one small company doing this now, agar can't have been a huge money spinner . Processed seaweed has been marketed as a miracle fertiliser from time to time . (There are a number of seaweeds . . . it's interesting that they are called "weeds", since they have various ecological niches . Perhaps the sea life could regard humans as landweeds . )
