Mount Messenger bypass project protesters say they've bought a section of state highway they were previously trespassed from.

They claim they paid land information $400 dollars for the land, and therefore can't be trespassed from it.

But land information says it's not for sale, and never was.

Marie Gibbs, a protester from the Poutama Charitable Trust says that since the land didn't have an official title, the previously confiscated land didn't have a real owner.
