Battle over park access through Matt Lauer's ranch escalates

摘要

Matt Lauer, the former "Today" show co-host fired over complaints of sexual misconduct, wants New Zealand to pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars if it allows more hikers and hunters to walk through his ranch to get to a conservation park. Lauer purchased a lease for the 16,000-acre, $9 million Hunter Valley Station ranch in 2017. It is the only path to get to Hawea Conservation Park.
