Wouldn’t it be great if they gave us back even half of what has been plundered from the coast
Heather Newby
Jacqueline Evans the profits always went out of the coast since the late 1800`s.. the Waiuta mine was owned by guys in London and when some Waiuta miners knocked on the door they got the door slammed in their face.. the Mine owners didnt even want to meet them. Dad told me that.. he said a Waiuta Miner told him about that when he went on his trip to London.Karen Green
