I had no idea it was privately owned. I would have thought the local iwi would have had something to say about that. Unless the owners are connected to them

I dont think we should waste tax payer money on this. We should just rename it to "Death Island" and be done with it.

If people want to spend money to visit "Death Island" then so be it.
