Kawerau was founded in 1953, a model town in an exotic forest.
Everything "..and everybody in Kawerau depends on that mill. Like all other special-purpose town its existence rests on a single industrial foundation. If that industry fails the whole town comes 'a cropper." - Cumberland

I spent a year of my electrical apprenticeship wiring those god awful "Peerless Homes" in Kawerau. Something like 10 power points , 8 lights, a hot water heater and a stove. Different house plans, but same electrics

No they didn't. They just took their cut as per usual.

How else does an economy work. Built by the people ,jobs for the people,families owning most there own properties . Worked the bush. Pakeha and maori.the locals. I know these people and life was good. Do you like how things are now?

@@moronicdooshbaggery756 The economy does not work due to central planning but inspite of it. Those politicians couldn't run an ice water stand. What they can do is steal a 'cut' of the profits and use a portion of it on propaganda to tell us they are our leaders. What you say we could have again if we dialed back the level of government to what it was. Better yet- to zero!
