The plan is responsive and is regularly evaluated to ensure it meets changing risk profiles
That'll be why the Tauranga Coast Guard guy said that they don't get to practice with big ships.
The plan was busy being responsive, I guess. -

Sounds like Mr. Joyce shared the "Special Book of Stuff We Just Know", Merc.

The sound of waves? Seagull impressions? A one-man, karaoke version of "Pet Sounds"?
Classic.

Hard News: Dropping the Bomber, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
I am sorry you misunderstood me, there Craig. I was actually saying that I think he has been unlucky for all of this to happen to him. I do not wish to be counted among his supporters but I think we should remember that he's had a lot to deal with.
If I'm making cheap "political driveby points' I'll let you know -
Crude oil sounds like rather unfunny stuff. I think they probably don't want people keeling over in it. They'd have to get a politician (no breathing, you see) to pull the people out.

Hard News: Dropping the Bomber, in reply to Sacha,
To be sure, he is reaping some of what he and his ideology has sown. My sympathy reservoir is not very big. Interestingly some kiwiblog and NZ Herald droolers say that the answer is more free market trashing.hard of learning, much?

Ya know, John Key must be the unluckiest bugger in NZ Prime Ministerial history. This is triple whammy hit for him and if the AB's lose, *shudder* he would have to think that God doesn't want him to be PM any more. Certainly in earlier, more simpler times, we would be looking at mollifying the gods....somehow...
Now, I hope that his gang get tossed out more than anything at the moment but he's had the worst earthquake, the worst oil spill and the worst mining accident for nearly 100 years all on his watch. Plus the credit downgrade and his possum-in-the-headlights- Paul Henry moment.
The War Prime Ministers, of course, had much more trying times but there was a defined enemy and a pretty singular course of actions to follow
Jebus, what would be happening if Don Brash had got in? -
I realise that being PM is a busy job and that he has many things to be on top of. But this is big and devastating to Tauranga. If the PM does not know what is going on then that is a problem and a slip-up. Admitting it is the right thing to do but the PM should not be in that position. If the questions are about important issues in the incident they should have answers.
