Jennifer Graham became well-known in Wellington for parking her house truck and Morris Minor on Stout Street for several months accumulating thousands of dollars in fines. The Wellington City council already have taken her housetruck because of unpaid parking fines, now they are trying to force her to move on by making her remove her possessions.

I don’t understand Jennifer Graham’s motivations, she could have moved on some time ago and avoided losing her truck, car and now possessions, but has insisted on camping on the street. I understand she is doing this as some sort of protest, but have never been able to find out what she is upset about.

Have to agree with Michael here. For the life of me, I can’t understand why she won’t accept all the offers of help. Originally, the council offered to waive her fines, fix up her truck to get a warrant of fitness and a register it…if she’d only move on so other rate paying citizens of the greatest Capital in the world could use the spaces she’s been occupying.

From what I remember, she was protesting the Fat Cats in Parliament being able to walk to Bellamies without getting rained on No?, then it was about the Fat Cats in Parliament not looking out for the Little Guy.  Does she think The Man is out to get her? The very same Man that’s trying to get her back up and running again? Geez. Some people just need to get over themselves.

What is published is the cream … and some amazing people, from Sir Charles and Sir Walter Norwood down to individuals like Nobby Stowell, of “Nobby’s Morrie Farm”. There’s the character who built a house truck on a Morrie, Jim Spears and his 43 cars, Ian Hope who has 30 Morris Minors among the 300 British cars in his shed. “It’s like a mental disorder, an addiction,” Reiner says. “I can’t leave it alone. Fortunately my wife supports me,” he grins.

Theres more here. A love affair with the little Morrie.
