Tensions between Gulf Habour locals and freedom campers

From Checkpoint, 5:12 pm today

Gulf harbour locals say they've been threatened with a weapon by a freedom camper living at the abandoned Gulf Harbour country club - the men camping there say they are the ones being harassed. The property on the Hibiscus coast was formerly a prestigious golf course and icon of the area, but has been abandoned and plagued with issues including arson, and a hefty demolition bill owed to Auckland council, Luka Forman reports.
