It is now almost a week into the tragedy at the mount.
And the overpaid tosser that poses as your Mayor today finally admits that council staff were indeed on site but did nothing.
there were some council staff at the Mount Maunganui campground when the deadly landslide occurred.
At this stage, he said he was not sure exactly who was where, but he was committed to getting answers and learning from the tragedy.
Drysdale also confirmed council received a call from Fire and Emergency New Zealand at 5.51am on the morning of the slip, but said he "didn't have all the details yet".
FFS, what has this overpaid PoS been doing for the past 6 days? Looking good, being 'seen to be doing something' at multiple press stand-ups. All the while effectively doing nothing like taking a scalpel to his organisation to find out some real information as one might have expected. Six days is more than long enough to find out who was where.
Stop drip-feeding information, name those involved, their actions with timelines. And those in the frame with the decisions made at that time for the tree removals.
Unfortunately a shitload of whitewash is heading to the inquiry, we know the council wallahs will be arse-covering and nobody will assume responsibility. Or end up in jail. There'll be something in the treaty against the owners of The Mount being responsible.
ps. I do wonder why Caterpillar (or others) have not supplied long stick machines with an extreme reach. These long reach sticks could retrieve slip materials from a safer distance lessening the chance of placing the machine in harm's way. No, the jobsworth's have the site screwed down tighter than Luxon's chances of re-election.
Meanwhile in the Indonesian slip in recent days with many more fatalities have people crawling all over their active slip site without a safety cone in sight!
pps. I see the other slip is growing at Papamoa. Apparently it could now affect the marae. Let's see how much taxpayer money is thrown at that problem?
