Who's Saving the Snails?
According to Scoop 14 March 2006 Twenty-two members of the Green Party, walked into Happy Valley for the weekend to show their support to members of the indefinite occupation.
The Save Happy Valley Coalition is grateful for the support shown by members of the Green Party and is pleased to be able to share interest and concern, as well as a decent meal, with members of the party.
In addition to the Green Party, the Save Happy Valley Coalition's occupation of the proposed mine site has received messages of support from Greenpeace, Forest and Bird, NZUSA Buller Conservation Group, ECO and concerned members of the public from all over New Zealand and the world.

"Jon Oosterman A former spokesman for the Save Happy Valley group..."
Any relation to Unite's Simon Oosterman?
I believe they are brothers but am not 100% sure. Anyone else know. Apparently Simon went to "St Kents' in Auckland.
Mountier and Rae were also involved in the breach of suppression distribution of pamphlets following the Louise Nicholls rape case.
Jon Oosterman is Simon's older brother. Simon has an identical twin brother, Paul, who does not support his brother's actions. While Simon was outside Sky City Casino protesting Paul was inside carrying out his croupier duties!
Frances has a job. I have a job. Simon has a job. Pete has a job. We are activits in our free time.
