A responsible freedom camping advocating group, is again calling for an inquiry into New Zealand’s Freedom Camping situation after Minister Maureen Pughs members bill was pulled from the ballot box yesterday, and the United Nations report into Homelessness in NZ was released overnight.
Responsible Campers Association said the bill highlights the ongoing issues around assumptions that blame freedom campers for every bit of litter and pooh on the roadside, when the reality is, as a group, freedom campers are the least likely to engage in irresponsible behaviour due to having facilities onboard to mange waste. The majority of campers have that ability, even if not certified to the voluntary NZS of self containment. The association was formed out of concern that Councils were using, often non-compliant, bylaws against the homeless in cars.
