Now, some may not be strong enough to withstand another disaster.

4. so why is this news? why are you not talking about the fracking ships that are destroying the nz environment, the fact that they are here illegally or the fact that they are breaking our laws and getting away with it. if I was you I would do some research into what they are doing under national (current parliamentary rulers) and how they are being allowed to destroy our natural reserves, our unique environments destroying several of our globally unique micro climates forcing poverty across all the classes. destroying the ability to gain education at tertiary levels, the massive funding cuts to health education police and essential emergency services. the selling off of essential assests that are crippling all levels of income the attempted privatisation of our much needed resources. the lack of help for the average person to afford housing. on average rentals in nz are over twice the average median weekly wage. the fact that the government is claiming to reduce unemployment by using statistical analyses to count students as employed. or the fact that our health care is under dire stress and being forced to operate as corporate to create profit when there never has been a medical system to make profit apart from USA privatised health care that puts the average family into lifetimes of debt for basic treatment. the fact that under national over 2/3 of the population can not afford basic goods over 25% can not afford a week's food aswell as rent
