You are forgetting Judith Collins - She was Plan B So Christopher is Plan (Dah! Dah!) C
“Surely if the cost of a licence has not been increased for 20 years some increase is necessary.” The corollary of that is if it has not been increased for 20 years that is because it has not been necessary. In 2015 Police set about destroying the Mountain...
When Police released their consultation document on the proposed increased gun licence and other related fees, gun owners were quick to realise they provided no explanation as to how the new fees were derived. An Official Information Act (OIA) requesting ...
My position on 'kindness' and misandry (for that matter misogyny) is simply that they have been weaponised as political tools to the extent that the damage done in the political sphere obliterates the much greater damage done in the real world. They become...
Just natural cynicism breaking through watching the unmitigated pile on during a serious emergency. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation. At the moment everyone needs all the help that can be tendered. The time for review and critism is after ...
I could let everyone blame me - that might save all the angst
Shower him with criticism and misandry till he chucks it all and trots away? Or can we be a LOT kinder than that ....
Yes the University Students Volunteer Army turned out in droves for the CHCH Quakes and I think their organisation is still in existence. Just my warped sense of humour in these trying times! Update: Yep there they are: https://sva.org.nz/ Already engaged ...
On a brighter note this article shows what it is all about at the sharp end. https://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/131089212/from-aucklands-floodwaters-of-devastation-heroes-and-acts-of-kindness-emerge?dicbo=v2-9376e137db7ccd9c62f4d54d1b91d254 A sleeping ...
The design does not seem to take these things in to consideration until an emergency highlights the deficiency. The level of stuff ups is usually epic because many just do not realise how severe these episodes are leaving those on the ground to deal with ...
That is a LOT of water! Many more Auckland-fulls to come down yet. Hey! It was up there before she trotted off .... Though if you think Chippy should take the blame
The water was up there in the sky just waiting for her to go before falling down?
Thought that cows belching and farting was the worst ... though 150 million tonnes of water vapour might have significantly more effect!
During emergencies the digital communication services often get over loaded and over capacity due to all and sundry using them with a flood of emergency services calls being swamped by people contacting each other to check safety and where they are and ...
This Stuff article is of interest laying out who is involved in a Civil Defense response https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300794679/auckland-floods-whos-who-in-the-disaster-response Particularly: Rachel Kelleher Auckland Emergency Management deputy ...
That did not affect the local "on-the-ground" Christchurch response at all. Local CDEM volunteer groups were gathering supplies and preparing to open Resource Centers well before the Emergency was declared. As soon as the Quake struck we knew that action ...
Remember that s**t always happens faster that it can be fixed ... or even responded to! As to financing: The provisions for Government financial support to local authorities relating to emergencies apply whether or not there is a state of emergency. For ...
From the link in the comment above it is expected that the Tongan eruption will raise air temperatures - Tongan volcano eruption raises imminent risk of 1.5C breach So probably some effect? Certainly coupled with el nino/la nina ....
Where has all the kindness gone? She is Desley Simpson currently the Deputy Mayor Everyone in Auckland needs our support at the moment
Depends which eye is open!
That is one picture. The entire live stream here: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/483265/pm-chris-hipkins-speaks-after-assessing-flood-damage-take-care-of-each-other At times PM Hipkins is nodding in agreement with Major Brown. Have worked in EMCD ...
The link I had would not cut and paste but it looks like that was an underestimate. Have found some more info and it looks like the HUGE amount of water will be around for a while. What goes up comes down? https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10....
Some of the water blasted into the sky by the Tongan volcano coming back down? Up to 4 million tonnes by some estimates! [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful ...
Ah! The One Source of Truth .... that's it then Or perhaps ALL WATERS? Gathering it all together and removing it from Council balance sheets makes it so much easier to privatise/sell surely?
Get used to flat beer as the amount of CO2 released in to the atmosphere by beery burps and fizzy farts must be enormous. Surely that is another human source of the dread gas that can be stopped entering the atmosphere ...... How humans are prevented from ...
It appears to be more a clash of belief systems than of scientific method. Including MM in our scientific subject teachings will surely expose it to the scientific method system of Hypothesis > Theory > Science Law with removal of the unprovible at each ...
1) Fresh [White?] Water 2) Storm Water 3) Brown [Grey?] Water to which were added 4) Coastal Water and 5) Geothermal Water at the Select Committee stage.
And still, though 'vaccinated' people are continuing to be infected, reinfected and dying. The effects are continuing and yet to fully play out. We will have little idea of what the ultimate consequences may be for a number of years yet. First and second ...
Indeed. Eye watering amounts have already been spent on 5 waters (as it is now) with the new 'authorities' set up and staffed up to eight months before the legislation was passed in Parliament. Councils were instructed this week to remove water assets from...
Hyperinflation may be already baked in by the huge (unrepayable) US debt and ever increasing 'Debt Ceiling' with nothing either left or right here can do about it. Likely happenings are 1) massive Hyperinflation or 2) Sovereign Debt default followed by 3) ...
Germany is still awash with WWII firearms carefully put away in case they are needed and more modern ex-Eastern Block firearms after unification. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Germany Source: https://www.badische-zeitung.de/deutschland...
