• Hard News: Dotcom: Further news of the unlikely, in reply to Alastair Thompson, 11:17 Jul 16, 2014

  I have long wondered if this is the real reason that Simon Power resigned. He was Justice Minister through all this and also well informed (unlike the PM) of what was afoot.

  Or if indeed that is what Collins holds over Key now. It is suggested in the House that she must hold something big against Key Co.

  We made it North this week. I wont put photos up yet. Think we lost around 100 trees but mostly tee tree and the Natives are good plus our house is fine. Spent the day making firewood which as some were dead anyway has made it usable straight away. We are burning the evidence as I type. Came through landslips, roads with bits missing, fallen trees . I cannot believe Kelvin Davis thinks we want a fukin highway to batches in Omaha when driving around here is unbelievable. parts of roads are just sunk, parts are missing. Enormous macrocarpas have disappeared, and, as has been mentioned on the news, SH1 is no go. Trouble is they detour everyone (school hols, great) onto roads just as bad which makes them worse.. How anyone thinks Fonterra trucks on dirt roads with flooding, landslips and whole parts missing is a good idea is beyond me. We are lucky we got a 4wd . And that’s not even the stories of resilience I’m hearing from those stuck here permanently.The roads up here need fixing first not some holiday highway. :(

  I'm back North Saturday. Look forward to seeing the place. News of the weather problems should come to light with a pint at pub. Our webcam indicates we seem ok. Good thing we got solar power as 1100 homes up there have had their power cut. The trees are protecting us :)

  Lots of things are turning up their toes.

  That’s one thing about life, nothing lasts forever.
