Surely the council won't consent/sign off any repairs to houses in the red zone?
Therefore tower cannot fufil their obligation to repair so they must replace?

Surely this won't stand up when taken to the Insurance ombudsman ?
Won't most people be in the same situation, the cost of repair would almost always be less than the cost of rebuild ? In which case there effectively is no option B, only option A ?
How about calling their bluff and getting them to fully repair it and then transport it elsewhere ?
Interestingly, when we bought our old 20's bungalow 15 years ago I was told that full replacement insurance was not available for older houses (can't remember what age they specified). Then at some stage, don't recall when, they made it available for older homes so we took it up (AMI). I always wondered what sort of dust up over the *value* of the replacement would occur should the need arise.
Regarding Option A, Key definitely said during the announcement there would be some process for disputing the 2007 valuations but it was unspecified.

But the same article also has some amazingly excellent news for those affected (if the report is correct):
The fact it is an election year may well work in favour of the *topups* required ?

How much more stress can you guys take ?
Question though, is the land remediation viable without first removing the structures (houses) and infrastructure (roads) ? Obviously it's an option in a Greenfields site, but in an already built up area ?

Hard News: And we may never meet again ..., in reply to Ian Dalziel,
That was quick. The bonus for 5 was going to be where is he now, but Wikipedia lists it there anyway.
Something of a contrast from Suburban Reptiles

Music videos never did Midnight Oil justice. Live and loud is how they were to be enjoyed.

Starter for 10 anyone, what's the kiwi link with Midnight Oil ?

Except if you estimate realistically you don't get the work in the first place :-)

I'd have laughed at this if it didn't indicate just how rattled you all are.
On the up side, you've got a way to go to catch up with these poor buggers ;-)

To be fair, she was still recovering from viral hepatitis at the time, so it wasn’t strictly “can’t be arsed”.
Lived in Ak central 15 years same house, never had a candidate, sitting or otherwise knock on my door until Nikki Kaye. Maybe she just fluked it and we were home I don't know.
I know for a fact she's been working fairly hard with varying degrees of success for some of the central ak schools and the issues they are facing at the moment.
I've heard one school principal say they're glad they don't live in Ak Central or they might have had to vote for Nikki Kaye, that says something in itself.
I think the chopping off of Pt Chev into Mt Albert from AK Central had an impact too last election.

Am I the only 4th generation Aucklander here ? :-)
