[QUOTE="John B, post: 12072, member: 207"] Over 40 years ago I went through the Paeroa flood. We lost about 50 hives and had a lot more damaged by water. There was amazing community spirit helping to clean up people's houses but the bureaucrats certainly didn't help. People were told they could store their wet furniture et cetera in a big warehouse and then someone decided to just landfall the lot. At the Ministry of Works they through out everything from chainsaws to a new metal lath still in its packing crate as well as shovels because they had all been contaminated by sewage. The amount of sewage in that flood must've been about 1 part per billion. When I dig out a blocked drain I don't throw away the shovel afterwards. Things have got a lot worse in the past 40 years so I wouldn't expect any common sense from anybody in authority. Choices should be for individuals to make and they should also take responsibility for those choices. Having a nanny state is fine for those that want it but we should all have the right to take that responsibility on ourselves for ourselves. [/QUOTE]
