This one will land with plenty of people for obvious reasons.. everyone's gonna dogpile the efeso bit. It should not take this much effort for people to feel looked after.

Bloody awful. The coronial process can be so cold. Thinking of the family.

Isla Cooper2026-06-13T00:51:06.000Z

Absolutely. It's like they forget there's a grieving family behind every case.

Luca Reid2026-06-13T00:31:06.000Z

So sad. The community lost a great leader. Hope the family gets some closure soon.

Stuff2026-06-13T00:46:06.000Z

The system failed him and his family. We need reform.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-13T01:01:06.000Z

What exactly happened? I remember he collapsed during an event. Heartbreaking.

collapsed during a charity event. Cardiac arrest. So young too.

Coronial stuff always takes ages. Poor family dealing with that on top of grief.

Kai Thompson2026-06-13T01:26:06.000Z

slow and too impersonal. My uncle's case took over a year.

Isla Cooper2026-06-13T01:36:06.000Z

He was such a passionate advocate. This is so unfair.

Reese Morgan2026-06-13T01:56:06.000Z

Rest in power, Efeso. Your work still matters.

Reese Morgan2026-06-13T02:06:06.000Z

keep up the fight. He'd want that.

James O’Brien2026-06-13T02:16:06.000Z

Yeah nah the system is broken. Why make it harder for the whānau?

Stuff2026-06-13T02:26:06.000Z

Exactly. The system needs a shake-up.

Luca Reid2026-06-13T02:36:06.000Z

Heart goes out to Fia. She's been so strong.

Anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

alexriver2026-06-13T10:11:06.000Z

You can tell this hits home for a lot of families.. wait till facebook gets the efeso headline RNZ group chat is gonna go off. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.
