Actually that's something I hadn't thought about. The number of kids with phones who would get the alerts and be worried the sky was falling down

Seriously, to be a serial entrepreneur you need a positive disposition where you believe through thick and thin that the future will always be bright.Sorry Wiz .Just choked on my Kellogs.

And when one must constantly state how ' succesfull' they are....
Come on Rick. Only the government knows what’s good for people. We can’t have individuals making decisions based of their personal circumstances.

MetService had to alter their warning systems, as required by the coroner after the April 2008 students and teacher died in the Mangatepopo Stream Tragedy. Since then, it seems that a lot of weather systems have warnings that are more than required. The OPC in Tongariro being fined over $450k, and any organisation (including MetService) become far more conservative in their warnings.
As I mentioned earlier its all about litigation.
Like those who must constantly state how morally righteous they are…
Or those who insist on bigoted culture wars and disinformation eh frank
True, True. Seems like that a lot these days, both sides of the political spectrum seem to be aligned on that.
I guess the Feelz V Reality competition must end sometime.

lol… culture wars (gender identity, decolonisation, racial policies, diversity policies, etc) is a left issue that you lefties push
Another aspect probably not remembered is that the legislation also brought to an end Govt supervision and policing of many Industrial environments in NZ.
Scaffolding is one in particular where prior to the legislation, the state made the rules and workers were tested and approved by the Labour Dept. Same for Safety Supervisors (you needed a ticket to supervise more than 10 men) where you had to sit a written exam and also an oral in front of the local Factory Inspector.
After '92, all that became the employers responsibility and what were once rules now became advice.
Was quite a dangerous time (for cowboys) until employers devised their own systems, the efficacy of which was often tested in court.

Ever tries to change a roof lately.
Daylight robbery. While industries have opened up around scaffolding, traffic management, site drop nets, compliance, etc.
The opportunity cost of all the H&S legislation is we need to live with a lower standard of living for all the unproductive costs incurred in the economy.
The cost to everyone in my opinion exceeds the benefits.
