Move the whole business of vehicle inspections back to the Ministry of Transport and isolate the garages from the business. As it stands, the system is corrupt to the core. For example, a garage that is overwhelmed with current repair work will be unlikely to find much wrong with a vehicle at WOF. On the other hand, a garage that has no work on, will find all manner of things wrong on WOF and thus the WOF license is actually a license to generate work.I say the two functions really need to be isolated and vehicle testing stations that were run by the MOT need to be reinstated.
Can someone with a legal background explain how WIL are able to re-issue the PDS after 3000 shares have already been sold on the basis of that issued earlier this year?
$100m would be conservative. Try $165m. What cost for weirs I asked as public meeting? Result was a firm shut up and stop revisiting the past from Palmer and Kempthorne. And they call this a transparetn and democratic process..... Tui time.
Exactly. And given that the total irrigation water take has been falling for the last 10 years, why is this problem being blamed on the irrigators? How about looking in detail at the amount of consented urban expansion and the massive level of development fees collected from them? Thats where the problem has been created (that is - if there even is a problem).
Its a dollar issue. The DHBs have been given the cash but have chosen to not spend it on suitable staff.A UK trained AT can earn THREE times what the NZ DHBs are paying. Plus the cost of living in say AKL is twice the cost of living in most UK cities. Yah reap what ya sow.
But actually, VTNZ do have a connection with repairers as their walls are covered with adverts for local garages and their front desks contain card racks of business cards for the same. I still maintain that we need a better degree of separation.
Only when a seven year old kid is able to take responsibility for their demands should they have any rights to make those demands. Cant have it both ways. ENTITLEMENT=RESPONSIBILITY.
I also look at vehicles regularly and have built and complied 3 vehicles. But that doesnt qualify me to inspect my own vehicles - we are talking huge risk here. How would you verify the skillset of a self-inspector?
Why take it back to the supermarket who would no doubt have lost it and offered a derisory replacement. Surely this should have resulted in a Judicial Enquiry and criminal charges being laid againt the producer?
Reviews, enquiries, investigations, terms of reference, and so it goes on. Even when faults, causes and outcomes are clarified, who will actually be held accountable for the outright abuse of ratepayers cash? Will the responsible NCC employees be booted? Or will these debacles continue happening unchecked? Methinks Yes they will.
So you say but if I was a patient, Id prefer a UK trained Theatre tech any day of the week. You seem to be subverting my comment with a distraction and if you are implying that their theatres are filfthy then you are ignorant. Ive spent anough years working inside them (not as a Theatre Tech I would add) to say that their hygeine standards are as good as anywhere in the world.
Youre all missing the point. The Drs position is 100% clear - his primary obligation is to public safety and his secondary obligation is to the rights/condition of his patient. In this case, there was no public safety issue and the condition of his patient was therefore paramount. If a Dr were to breach that trust, then the Dr/patient relationships all over the world would break down. Providing good quality care is based on a huge level of trust between the two and if that is gone then no Dr would be safely able to provide healthcare.
Its not rot. If there is not 100% confidence that anything you tell the Dr will not be repeated, how many people will disclose details about their condition in order to receive the correct treatment. Full and frank disclosure is vital in the diagnosis of many conditions.
No, they have not allocated it to irrigators - the total take has fallen in the last 10 years. They have allocated it to urban development. Examine the facts before blaming the irrigators.
Absolutely no doubt that the Drs have done the correct thing - if they hadnt then the Dr/Patient trust in numerous other cases would fail. Having that trust is crucial to providing good healthcare. I was always taught by the worlds best ethical minds that the only time you break confidence is when doing so will prevent harm to another person (not property). In this case that is/was impossible. They have done the right thing.

WEIRS. As and when required/afforded. Massivly more spread out and constant pressure to recharge the aquifer and a fraction of the cost to timescale.

Tanenui, absolutely wrong. Even the TDC dont make that silly claim. Check your facts before hitting the keys.
