Expensive for who, exactly?

Tramper's expensive mistake


"A Belgian tourist who sparked an estimated $15,000 rescue operation after failing to sign out upon her return from Aoraki/Mt Cook will not have to pay up.

Rescuers began searching for the 28-year-old on Thursday afternoon after she did not check in at the Department of Conservation office on Wednesday..."


Yes, a very expensive mistake, but not for her.

For muggins taxpayer.

Again.

I believe- you go into the mountains without insurance for this sort of thing- you take your own chances.

I'm funding too many morons and their dumbass decisions in NZ , as it is!

good article Ostable,
As soon as I am King, and that will be soon I asure you, foreign trampers will pay $200 access cost to each and every NZ park or degnated place.
This will gain them walking rights and insurance and help us clean up after them,
espercially the bloody Europeans.
