Real Anger is building!

Kia Ora,

In recent months the South Island of New Zealand has had some knock backs. But to all of these knock backs is a connection to the riots in Italy & one in particular.

Of all those knock backs the most heart wrenching has been the mine accident at Pike River with 29 miners dead.

Right now there is a lot of anger as they keep getting hit with more bad news & some reactions have targeted people they think are benefitting from the accident whilst others suffer.

Overall the governments reaction now is typical bureaucrat speak/corruption with any excuse to do nothing. Which only increases the building anger.

Then there has been the snow storm in Southland which didn't kill anyone or cause great damage it seems apart from the collapse of the Stadium Southland roof.

Another has been the crash of the plane in Fox Glacier the same day as the Canterbury Earthquake killing all nine on board. In fact I heard anger regarding this recently as to how nothing much was done for such a big event in an isolated area.

So anger is starting to build over several incidents.

Then there is the Canterbury Earthquake mainly centred on Christchurch.

Initial reaction not bad considering how lucky we were but now the anger over the lack of reaction is starting to build.

This is where the corrupt bureaucratic system needs to take note.

Part of the Italian riots was centred around a group from the earthquake struck city of L'Auilla which had 300 people killed by a quake in 2009. They were upset & angry over the slowness of government reaction.

Tha same has happened in Haiti, but in a shorter space of time probably due to the greater destruction & death toll.
Disaster Recovery
Canterbury & in particular Christchurch were lucky due to good building standards meant no deaths.

But since then it seems that every bureaucrat involved has been taking lessons from ACC on how to do it in the most cost inefficient fashion & to find any excuse not to do anything unless the news media get involved.

Part of that is due to the Kiwi mindset were they don't want to rock the boat & there is always someone worse off. Problem with that attitude is the bureaucrats take advantage of it & try to make people feel guilty about ringing in.

In fact in New Zealand if you complain you are seen as the one at fault.

But it is now trying for people in what were seen as not 'badly' affected areas as they get the run around after hearing all the badly hit buildings have been dealt with. This is despite wide spread liquifaction, damage to roofs, floors & structures in these areas with it likely some of these houses will have to come down.

As one friend who keeps trying to find out what is going to happen to their house says they keep getting the janitor when they ring. Yet again the information given is in direct contradiction of that the politicians & CEO of EQC are giving in the media.
Syndromes of Corruption: Wealth, Power, and Democracy
So now we have anger building in at least two areas over poor responses, a financial crisis that is expected to get worse & the lack of boundaries in our society mean we have a cocktail for the riots to happen here in the same manner as we have been watching in Europe.
