Friday Night Rants?

Here we have everything that is wrong with modern society pen pushers.

Apparently the defence force is not an accredited water supplier so thousands of litres of water sat unused on a navy vessel during floods.
It’s a worry when one human being is not willing to trust water supplied by another human.

Obviously our state of emergency legislation needs to be amended to make it clear there is no restriction on supplying aid and anyone who obstructs because of box ticking should be jailed.

On occasion I agree with you. This is one of those occasions

Agree in principle. Disagree from experience.

2010 earthquakes around Darfield. The 7.2 on the Greendale fault. We were living on the western end of the fault and lost water supply temporarily.
Water was available from a SDC tanker on specific days. There was also a private individual supplying who could be rung for a delivery.
Word quickly got around that the private individual was supplying water fit for stock, not drinking.

Buyer beware. Certified drinking water is a known quantity.

I think its a given that unknown water needs to be boiled if the facility (ie gas barbeque) is available, treated with Janola if not. My rainwater tank might be as pure as the driven snow but no way I'd drink straight from the tank.

There needs to be a multi party sit down to come up with a plan to save our country from the abyss

You could understand one person being silly enough to be carrying a knife in public place in a fairly small crowd, but multiple youths with knives just crazy, never mind the shooting.
Couple of work colleagues openly admit to carrying knives for protection which is not best idea as if your opponent takes it off you and is more willing g to use it then game over, kinda permanently usually. And if you do successfully stab an opponent after deliberately carrying a weapon you’re likely to get a decent jail term.

Where do we go from here this kinda stuff happening to often and we know it goes underreported…

Oh for fucks sake, just tell people what flavour of sprog you're having, rather than killing wildlife.

Or alternatively, don't get dragged into the latest american idea dreamed up to extract more money from your wallet for no good reason, which ironically is being embraced by the generation who concurrently preach about saving the planet.

Recently we had a meth addict in the bay try to abduct two young girls using screwdriver as weapon threatening harm. Thankfully he was quickley apprehended.
For ruining the innocence of two people plus their family he’s got 2 years 11 months jail after a 25% discount for early guilty plea….
