MFW I went to that "maximum security primary school". 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I basically got thrown out because I was "too well-behaved." My teacher and the principal called my mother in one day and told her that, if at all possible, it was probaby best that I be sent to the other primary school across the river, because my exceptional behaviour was not matched by the other students, whose constant need for discipline was interrupting and harming my learning. They even arranged for me to catch a ride on the Huntly College bus when it went over to the other side of the river for pick ups or on its way back after drop offs, because there was no school bus for the primary schools (it was basically segregated and everyone just went to the primary on their side of the river). And no, the people are not that great. Nobody feeds their kids cos smokes and booze are more important (the girl next door would bring _tomato sauce sandwhiches_ to school, and that was only if there was even any bread in the house), and my friends used to steal my shoes off their own doorsteps and then try to deny it when they were wearing identical shoes the next day. And the neighbours would steal all the fruit from our feijoa tree, as if we were even capable of eating it all ourselves and weren't just going to give them most of it anyway. The only thing about Huntly that wasn't shit was that the library had free dial-up internet (this was the 90s) on the one computer they had. And basically nobody ever booked it, so I could spend pretty much the whole day on Saturday reading about all the stuff I wasn't learning at school because the teacher spent more time disciplining the starving class than actually teaching us. So yeah, 11/10 Huntly is a shit hole.
@@marilynschmidt6400 Why would you feel the need to say that? Are you a butt-hurt Huntly local who can't handle that anyone would criticise Huntly for being shit and not suffer the weak excuse that it's okay cos the people are great? Just because someone identifies institutional problems with a town, and is hostile to that town because of what it did to their childhood, it doesn't mean that they're somehow claiming they're perfect or without fault of their own. So your comment is clearly just a knee-jerk reaction that attempts to attack me personally and contributes nothing to the discussion. How about you contrast what I said with some stories about how the people in Huntly actually are great or endearing? Presumably not _everyone_ starves their kids (although the government's statistics disagree with regard to the West side), and maybe you've had some nice people bring in packages for you rather than steal them? And who knows, I was only there in the 90's, so things may have changed since I grew up their. But you can't just personally attack someone when they bring up their real and traumatic childhood experiences of a shit town and expect anyone to change their mind when all you're doing is demonstrating more of why the town is so shit. So yeah, 12/10 Huntly is a shit hole.
I stopped in Huntly on the way back to Hamilton, forget why, but I never forget the argument that was happening on both sides of the main road. A woman was yelling all sorts of colourful language at the bloke on the other side of the road. Welcome to Huntly! To be fair the eastern side with Lake Hakanoa is much nicer than the western side with the power station.
I need to know more about the maximum security primary school because I don't understand what that even means???? like are these developmental behavioral issues or like criminal behavioral issues? So do they put all those kids together in one school and have really strict rules for all of the students? it's like a juvenile detention center? If it's just segregated by what side of the river you live on, why would youths on one side have such an increased rate of deemed "behavioral issues"? Is this like when in Canada we say someone is from the "wrong side of the tracks" because they are poorer and have less access and support due to where they live? That's the closest thing I can think of that I've heard of it. Where the side with more money and access just choose to have their own school system and district because they believe or act differently, rather than putting kids geographically close in schools together and dealing with the issues that arise from having such a divide in the parent's income? In Canada, we have the Catholic school system that is better funded and supported than our public schools. The public schools and students are stereotyped as being more wild and having worse behavioral issues just because they were in a school that LOOKED and was less funded than the Catholic schools
@@abbielakhan8501 Yeah, it's just a geographical issue. The Waikato river goes right through the middle of Huntly, with the western houses worth less and almost entirely inhabited by minorities, while the eastern houses are generally nicer and more expensive, and typically inhabited by white people of varying incomes (it's not like they're all rich). Each side of the river has its own public primary school, but there is no school bus because you're supposed to go the local school on your side of the river. The only bus is for the high school students, as they all go to the same school on the western side, so a bus goes around to pick up all the eastern students. I don't believe the primary schools are zoned, but most parents aren't going to drive their kids all the way across to the other side of town every day just so they can go to a nicer school, so all the poor minority kids end up at the same school. Most of them have behavioural issues and/or learning difficulties because they come from turbulent homes with parents who typically aren't invested in their learning, and the rampant poverty in the area doesn't help at all. On the other hand, the school is incredibly well funded. New Zealand doesn't use the idiotic US system where schools are allocated funding based on student performance, which privileges schools in well off neighbourhoods full of white people. Instead, it has a decile system that ranks schools based on the average income of houses in the area. The lowest-ranked schools, Decile 1, are allocated the highest funding, while the highest-ranked schools, Decile 10, receive the least funding as they are more than capable of generating revenue from the parents through school fees and charges for extra-curricular activities. I honestly don't know what about the school is "maximum security", though, as there wasn't anything like that when I was there. I suspect they've merely added a huge fence around the school to prevent truancy, because it was common for kids to just leave at lunch time to try and find food that they could steal. There's certainly nothing from outside that needs to be kept out, as school shootings don't exist in NZ. However, feel like the term was used in the video perhaps as a joke about the calibre of the school and it's students, in which case it's very apt-and a little dark given that realistically most of the students are on their way to a penitentiary.
Such a shame. I grew up there. Had a brilliant, idyllic childhood. Went to the movies every Friday night. Played netball every Saturday in winter and swam in the river and, jumped off the main bridge during the summers. Everybody knew each other - difficult to get into trouble because you knew half the town was related to you and would tell your parents/grandparents if you were up to no good :). I'm going to assume it's still a good place as I still have lots of family there and they are wonderful people - some of the best in the world!!!!
Never knew they had a cinemas there lmao... I use to go up there every weekend because of my parent's work it was ok parts of it were gang affiliated but besides that it was descent at best
Well said! Some if the vest towns don't live up to societies ideals. However, when studies are done, people are on average happier than in the big cities that are rated highly.
I'm living in a housebus and wintering over in the local camp ground at Huntly. Its magic. The people really do make this place... Almost everything you need is here. Lake Hakanoa changes constantly. Sometimes you can hardly tell which way is up because the lake is smooth as a mirror. I've got some 'amazing' photographs You may not be able to swim in Lake Hakanoa... no motorboats allowed but you can sail on it... and there is a brilliant walkway around the lake as well that is well cared for. I'll come back here next year to winter over... Happily.
Got a few mates that live in Huntly, and before the Waikato expressway, used to drive through it a ton. Last time I drove through, some dude at the Auckland end threw a rock through my window (he was chucking rocks at multiple cars as they drove past). That was a fun experience
When I was a kid we lived in Mangere, mum would send us to my aunty Charlottes house in Paki Street Huntly. I would stay for a few weeks in the summer school holidays and spend time with my cousins. My Grandmother lived in Semple Street. There was a shop there where I could walk through across the train tracks. Huntly is etched in my mind as being a choice place.
Cracked me up. Used to live in Shitsville, Queensland where the old drunks were onto the mobility scooter lark until the cops got wise and booked them anyway.
We spent Easter weekend in Huntley in 2018….we really enjoyed it, meet some very friendly and hospitable local people and couldn’t work out why a number of Kiwi’s from outside of Huntley had questioned the wisdom of visiting this town….
Some corporate clowns wanted to pull it down years ago...but the community went out & protested. It made National News. Deka sign & Huntly are synonymous 🙂
Wow - this is the first time that I have ever seen anything (and I mean anything at all) about Huntley. According to my parents (and I reckon that they would know), I was conceived there, but thankfully they made it back to Australia in time for my birth - crikey, I could have been a Kiwi! Having said that, from the look of what I have seen, I can understand why they went there in the first place as it looks beautiful and doesn't deserve the title that they have won, mind you, we are talking about over 60 years since they were there so it may have a looked a little different then.
@@rogerwilco4736 - My sister visits there and loves it. I visit there and am the complete opposite. I'm on edge! It's just different for different people 😂
May 1st, 1997… my mates and I are in two vehicles heading up to the North Shore Events Center for the Korn concert. We’ve been smoking joint after joint all the way from Hamilton. We also dropped a double dipped Alien trip just before we left. Guess what kicked in driving through Huntly? Yep… and the power station chimneys started falling towards the car I was in. We all saw it. Only memory I have of the place and it is forever ingrained in my psyche because of that awesome road trip.
Love Huntly. I use to live down McVie Road back in the 80s. Met some AWESOME families from here. Back then they were like a PEOPLE UNITED and probably still are. Much love for this BEAUTIFUL TOWN and it's PEOPLE.

Mate there's good people everywhere, doesn't mean it's not shit. Prisons and power stations doesn't exactly give people confidence they gonna have a mean time there 😂😂😂
So, I never thought Huntly was the shittiest town, always thought it was the typical small industrial regional NZ town with all its blue collar quirks… until I watched this. It really is shit.
Omg its chris thornley 1:32 and 1:48 hes the bro i lived with in huntly he had two houses he burnt one down. Good to see your still alive bro much love from me and famz down in Christchurch well come see you one day
first place i’ve ever seen pork and watercress pies 🥧 and they were SOLD OUT! definitely going back to Huntly to get one of these in the near future! 😃
At the beginning reporter walking up the street says, "I feel bad for Huntly", and me thinking at the same time , "What beautiful tiles they use for a main street, how cool and neat this town is". From a kiwi who has been in Australia too long (and originally from Taumarunui)
it might be the worst town in NZ for some but still it was not even 1 percent compared to the worst places/town of other country. the town it self has no problem .it was the people that chooces to make it look worst that give it a nasty reputation.still they have to be thankfull that they have a worst place to live in rather than live under the bridge like in other country.

That HQuarters dance crew was legit awesome haha
Mate there's good people everywhere, doesn't mean it's not shit. Prisons and power stations doesn't exactly give people confidence they gonna have a mean time there 😂😂😂
Bro took this video a bit too seriously
Geez you had me going, I couldn't stop laughing. Well done.
So, I never thought Huntly was the shittiest town, always thought it was the typical small industrial regional NZ town with all its blue collar quirks… until I watched this. It really is shit.
This vid shows the best parts of the town.
@@stevel9627 🤣
Lmao most gentle smears in the world dr john gates 1:52
everything i know about new zealand culture and mentality comes from new zealand today. great show
Is that why you're in Oz?
@@TheTruthKiwi yeah I reckon!
omg why isnt there more views for this awesome channel GO HUNTLY
I was there 25 years ago, looks like nothing has changed.
Man, that was cold
This a old video or recently released?
Those old guys using granny karts to avoid loosing their licenses 😂😂😂
Omg its chris thornley 1:32 and 1:48 hes the bro i lived with in huntly he had two houses he burnt one down. Good to see your still alive bro much love from me and famz down in Christchurch well come see you one day
first place i’ve ever seen pork and watercress pies 🥧 and they were SOLD OUT! definitely going back to Huntly to get one of these in the near future! 😃
Go to waiheke instead bro the butcher there sells them 👌🏽
They don’t sell them, they just put the sign out so clowns like you keep coming back..
Go for a dive in the creek, plenty of watercress and duckweed. Dice that up into a mrs macs and your set
That isn't pork bro. :/
If it’s not pork what is it urrrghhh
At the beginning reporter walking up the street says, "I feel bad for Huntly", and me thinking at the same time , "What beautiful tiles they use for a main street, how cool and neat this town is". From a kiwi who has been in Australia too long (and originally from Taumarunui)
I miss you NZ!!! 💖🤙 Huntly is great!
Never expect much, but this show is brilliant.
I'm not wise, I'm just a drunk 🤣🤣🤣💪 love this Golden oldie 👍👍
Wasn't this from season 2? (E4)
You sir, are a true fan
That chick in the red dress was legitimately a bit of talent 😊
bruh how close did tokoroa get
it might be the worst town in NZ for some but still it was not even 1 percent compared to the worst places/town of other country. the town it self has no problem .it was the people that chooces to make it look worst that give it a nasty reputation.still they have to be thankfull that they have a worst place to live in rather than live under the bridge like in other country.
That "ok now fuck off" got me ngl 😂😂😂😂😂
cant ever be as bad as invercargill
I like how at times the DEKA sign showed up on the sweeping drone shots😀
Laurie’s a fucking champion mate
Sean 😊 I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook
shows off the pool, "basically like lake but its got a roof over it so you dont get your hair wet"
more guy williams ! you rock Bro !
Those old guys are kiwi gems❤ Huntly🎉
"NOW FUCK OFF !" Laurie is THE MAN,and that should be the motto for all of NZ,not just Huntly
😂
Not me watching this in the uk 70 days before I move to Huntley NZ from the uk for work🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
Next time I’m driving south I’m calling into Mcgintys and having a beer with Laurie
Sharon 😊 I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook
1:42 are those two clones?
Should visit South Auckland next
Vivek I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook
Bro that bridge is still under repair?
Yodelling lesbians and gentle pap smears, I'm sold!
great vid 19th on trending no wayyy
i will always have respect for huntly and some of the people in it, it’s just dickheads in this town that make it look bad. Huntly has everything you need ! ✌🏽
One of the funniest videos in a long time. And yep - Huntley certainty isn't the best town in New Zealand, not when one of it's star attractions is a polluted lake
