is there a fund we can donate to?
Also, text 306 for an automatic $3 donation.

An odd statement, IMO, from Supt. Knowles that rescue crews were crying after the second explosion because they knew that they would have been killed, had they entered. [Source: RNZ 5:00pm news]
Much more likely, surely, that they were crying - as we all were - because they knew that the men were lost.

Say, weren't we going to have a PAS bake-off? I am guessing it wouldn't be hard to find guinea pigs/judges.
Gross! None for me, thanks.

Herald slightly misquotes, then takes it right out of context, in order to devise a clearly misleading headline.
Original quote:
"If I could go back and re-think my opening address to them I would do it a thousand times (better).

I'm very demoralised about this.
The Welfare Working Group has kicked off with a massive and obvious LIE (not to mention extremely self-serving terms of reference), yet the country, in very large part, seems not to even notice.
If I was pushing this agenda, I'd be saying,
"My God! What won't they swallow?".
P.S. Anyone care to start a Wikipedia Entry? -
Emma,
Do you really think it's helpful to make this information publicly available? Surely that will only encourage others.</sarc>

Matthew,
Thanks for the quick correction. -
You've attacked Knowles, pretty much directly, as incompetent.
Either quote me or retract the allegation, please.

CLM?

Matthew isn't "shutting down enquiries", he's expressing an informed view. We're in no position to make enquiries anyway, only to speculate.
I was asking a question which was bothering me (and others). On day three they were "looking at sourcing" an appropriate fibre-optic cable. On day four they were "looking at sourcing" a second robot, after the initial failure of the first. Considering that the operation has had an open offer of any required help from both the NZ and Australian govts. (among others) from day one, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask if forward planning is all it could be.
I was actually hoping for someone to explain why my fears are baseless.
Anyhow, clearly this line is not helping, so I'll just stop now, okay?
