A decision to retain "temporary" roading changes on Park Terrace for 5 years is hugely disappointing. So say Ali Jones (Board member for Innes) and Victoria Henstock (Councillor for Papanui). @lgnzinfonews.co.nz/news.cfm?id=12…
Fmr health boss Rob Campbell sez the health system is “like a blocked digestive system”; 100s of duplicated jobs from DHB system could b re-deployed 2 the frontline. Is the ongoing experience of employed midwives a result of a 'constipated' health system. infonews.co.nz/news.cfm?id=12…
So gd to hear Brian Roche talking about insurance companies & their responsibilities to claimants. Dame Silvia identified issues Canty quake claimants dealt with so no excuse for poor performance by both assessor's & insurance companies. Go Sir Brian! @NewstalkZB
V gd piece @NZStuff 2day. Thank u! Finally sum1 looks at how our experiences could provide a road map 4 the NI recovery. Perhaps more around insurance was needed? & another perspective not jst Gerry? @rafmanji @LianneDalziel i.stuff.co.nz/national/expla…
The Northern Explorer is almost full again. There are low passenger numbers in NZ due to a lack of trains, not because of a lack of people wanting to take them. Bring on a daily Auckland/Wellington service
@harrison_mcevoy I’d far rather be going in the right direction from the outset instead of feeling happy there will be accountability if it all goes wrong. The planners behind this don’t even know where most commuters want to go. Crazy.
@harrison_mcevoy I don’t think this consultation is about what people want for their transport options, it’s about MRT and buses. The decision has already been made for them - it’ll be one or the other.
@harrison_mcevoy There are no other options going forward because they haven’t put any other options up! Where is the public input, consultation on the modes? There has been none.
12 yrs on, we have come a long way. 2day let’s also remember those still fighting insurers. Like the 79 yr old & his wife up the rd, the St Albans fam who have had nothing but stress for yrs. Celebrate progress bt let’s not 4get those still not out the other end. #chcheq#quake
@billybragg if u mention the quakes when in chch, pse mention the people still fighting insurers 12 yrs on. Like the 79yr old & his wife up the road. Or the fam of 4 in St Albans who have lived with constant stress for 12 yrs. I do wot I can bt these bastards are well resourced.
