Message: <blockquote data-quote="tristan" data-source="post: 13426" data-attributes="member: 30">still, the deca program is working better than the previous model of just using inspectors. using just inspectors failed because people ignored afb as "its the inspectors job". however with all the afb problems happening, i think there good chance a more aggressive stance will continue on. that could make a lot more progress. this is something we discussed here years ago, the carrot and the stick. up until recently they used the carrot and little stick. now they are starting to use a lot more stick to enforce the carrot.i hope they roll out the testing across the board. hopefully rapid testing can id the problems before they become a problem to everyone else.i suspect nz is going to have to do a "deaseathon" clean up and go deal with the huge amount of dead outs littered around the country.</blockquote>
