BOP Eruption?
-
The local Maori bought the White Island tour company a few years back, did they change the marketing and sign writing to dual name? Noooo because they know damn well everyone just knows it as White Island currently. That can change, but now suddenly after this?
A few white liberals in the media see a tragedy and decide to enter some woke Olympics. What next a big Tsunami in Auckland? But we only hear Tamaki Makaurau Auckland and never just Auckland on the news suddenly starting on that day? -

Usage pre tragedy by all the major media outlets.

A current affairs weblog I read over here includes a brief but accurate context:
"Aussies are again calling for Jacinda Ardern to be the country’s leader after her “classy” response to the White Island volcano disaster."
"Name them."
"River, Tanisha, Beau, Bo, Corey, Cory, Skye, Sky and D’kara ..."A crowd of ostensibly mature and aware adults go wandering about a place where nature is very likely to fry them and, when it does, there is a mad scramble to drag out someone to blame for their stupidity. The First Lady, in her role as Minister for Lovely but Over-familiar, canters out for an exhibition run to paw and cuddle carefully selected random strangers. Instantly the fact of senior Labor officials having their way with junior Labor office girls falls back to page 12 of the NZ Herald and stays there.
In 2019 "honorable" is defined by whatever one can get away with - this sheila is a quick learner alright.

@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD the boot on the other footness of the victims families blaming the government for their loved ones deaths after 10 years of Pike river is some nice karma .

Can confirm. Have strong sauce from the meeting where TVNZ made that call and name checked @jegga. It's legit.

Instead of arguing about political bullshit - how about acknowledging these guys - bloody heroes

Interesting - about that helicopter out there:

Interesting when the boot is on the other foot aye? I know Stuart Nash says it's unfair to compare this situation to Pike River, but is it really? There is risk associated with a recovery mission but at least they can see whats in front of them. It's a bit harder to make broad sweeping statements about not leaving people behind when you have to wear your big boy pants

@canefan quite a few "probably's" in his comments. I get that he thinks he can do it and it'll be sweet. But what if it isn't? who gets shit canned then? Him? whoever approved him taking the risk?
Just like the miners know all about mining.....

@Snowy hope that is the case also. My earlier point was more that it sounded like he was confident he could do it, but threw out quite a few qualifiers which made me wonder if his risk tolerance may be higher than some/many of his peers.

@Paekakboyz in the current H & S environment, there will be zero risks taken from here.
