Petition urging government to reopen Chateau Tongariro

"Save our chateau". That's the message Ruapehu's mayor is hoping politicians will hear tomorrow when he drops a petition off to parliament signed by thousands of people. The petition is urging the government to act swiftly to reopen Chateau Tongariro as soon as possible. The 96-year-old building was closed in February 2023 due to its earthquake risk, leaving a big hole in the local economy. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
