New Zealand. What a back water shit hole.

...TPTB don't give a fuck...it probably won't happen on their three year watch and when it does it's the last watch that fucked up, in their ducking and diving excuses...we already know how many fucking power poles that have been deemed unsafe years back that have not been fixed or replaced, and that's only at that level...third world?...approaching that ...

New Zealand authorities are typically reactionary rather than proactive. Wait for summat (that is often very predictable) bad to happen before action is taken.

I'm hoping they do a fucking sight more than "what if". In fact I know that among the various entities that presumably comprise that nebulous, almost mythical "TPTB" there's a fair bit of cost/benefit analysis going on.

The problem arises, as it almost always does, when the entity on the cost side of the equation isn't the same as the one on the benefit side.

Whatever, our basic services have a reasonable record of reliability over the last generation or so, and I do get tired of all the shock horror bullshit every time there's some minor glitch. But you get no argument from me with the suggestion that it may be time to spend a bit more to match the increased demand over the last decade or so. Presumably those behind all the faux outrage would be all for policy increasing the infrastructure spend over the more widely reported lolly scramble.

Gee thanks for your concern, what year did again you graduate medical school?
It humours me that you actually believe your opinion is would hold some value to me.
Might be best if you go fornicate yourself a few times, or (60-80 times.)

If you look at the picture of the pipeling rupture you will see a peice of the grid infastructure right next to the Pipeline, Just as well the leaking pipeline wasn't leaking 60-80 tons of volitile petrol at the time.
220 Dual circuit so i would say its the HEN-MDN-A line

The grid infastructre currently is in a run down phase, The New CEO of transpower is apparently more concerned with saving costs rather than maintaining grid integrity.

Maybe it would be best that you wait prior to posting until you have something to offer other than childish insults.
