1080 signs target McCaw

Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has unwittingly been drawn into the 1080 debate through his Christchurch Helicopters co-director Terry Murdoch. Several road signs have been defaced along State Highway 1, Desert Rd, recently spray painted with the words “F*** you Richie, Ban 1080”. Murdoch is also the chairman of the board of the stateowned company, Animal Control Products Ltd, which trades as Orillion, a company that imports 1080 and manufactures 1080 bait from its Whanganui premises. Murdoch declined to comment. McCaw also declined to comment.
