Is there any reason to think they would delay any announcement/action until the last minute deliberately? Give them less time to organise any sort of response? I realise this is giving way too much benefit of the doubt...

Per that article

According to the Whangārei District Council website, the Abbey Caves are prone to flash flooding. It suggests people check the weather forecast before visiting.


Whoever was in charge of that trip is a loving idiot and got that student killed.

It's really breaking some people's brains that they can't play the perpetual victim and commit a genocide at the same time

Love hearing Luxon describe people being on social welfare as "obscene" and "perverse" then finding out he gets a $50k supplement to go with his 7 houses and enormous salary because of course he does.

"[ACC] just don't care. I said I'll live under a bridge, and she [case worker] is like 'do what you want'," McIndoe said.

:staredog:

I'm sure the case workers are overworked and underpaid but have a bit more tact when you're loving with peoples lives.

I liked when ACC insinuated it was her fault because they had "trouble communicating" with her. Yea I'm sure the lady who has half a body and needs a carer to turn her over at night is real loving hard to get hold of :rolleyes:

it looks like they funded the surgery, two rooms for two years, a live in full time carer and an entire purpose built house, and she's got a place to live (albeit not the one she wants), so i don't think evil is quite the right word here?

i maybe have a little ACC-PTSD from working there, but I'd take reports of what caseworkers said as one person's view of the conversation. happy to eat all the crow if it turns out i'm wrong, but clients with that many needs get a lot of scrutiny, it's not just a caseworker.

Why would they do all of that but not fund the accommodation until the house was finished though? Like is the 2 years just an arbitrary cut-off or something?

I think it seems like a strange thing to go after compared to other pests like goats pigs, wallabies like you mentioned, but those are enormous nation-wide populations as opposed to one comparatively localised species.

From the article https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350234555/forest-and-bird-take-aim-fiordland-wapiti-hunting it seems like they are worried about it setting up a situation where the Wapiti population is permanently established as a managed herd, rather than still aiming for eradication.
