But first, Shanti Mathias explains why we can expect the forestry industry to come under scrutiny in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle. “For people living near the East Cape, the slash influx following Cyclone Gabrielle means another arduous cleanup, only a month after they were hit by Cyclone Hale. ‘Every facet of our home has been hit with the deepest amount of sediment and logging that you could possibly imagine and it just went for hours,’ farmer Bridget Parker told RNZ on Tuesday morning. With her husband and son, Parker has been trying clear a route through the debris; much of their land is currently inaccessible, and their kiwifruit orchards have been overwhelmed by maize and sediment. ‘We’re all struggling to find out why these logs are continuing to be allowed in these forestry estates and strewn over our beautiful properties. It’s just beyond us,’ she said, sounding incredibly tired and frustrated.” Read more Cyclone Gabrielle: More than 10,000 now displaced, Wairoa remains cut off Cyclone Gabrielle’s aftermath, in pictures ‘We’re standing in it… this is climate change’: Parliament’s one-hour cyclone catch-up ‘Utterly pancaked’: A Muriwai resident surveys the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle In Gisborne’s blackout, the Māori response shone brightly ‘They’re very emotional’: Inside Auckland’s emergency pet shelter during the cyclone Why did the latest Creative New Zealand funding round close so quickly?
