bloody hell, they're at it again. another toothless bill that means sweet f*** all for families like mine. gonna be at that rally and you bet i'll be loud.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T21:10:33.000Z

yeah nah, this government wouldn't know real safety if it hit them in the face. just window dressing for the mining industry.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T21:24:33.000Z

good on Sonya and Anna, never give up. Those poor families deserved justice years ago.

Riley Scott2026-06-16T21:51:33.000Z

awful what happened, but at what point do we move on? the bill's been through consultation, can't please everyone.

Finn Walker2026-06-16T22:07:33.000Z

you right, it's been 15 years. but maybe that's why we need to get it right this time.

Riley Scott2026-06-16T22:40:33.000Z

wasn't saying forget, just saying the process takes time. but fair enough, guess i'm being too patient.

Don't you dare tell grieving mums to move on. they already lost sons, husbands. bloody heartless take.

Finn Walker2026-06-16T22:21:33.000Z

absolute joke. 29 men died and they're watering down safety laws for profit. shame on nz.

as a student, this makes me sick. we're supposed to learn from disasters not repeat them. rally next week? see you there.

Rowan Blake2026-06-16T22:50:33.000Z

facts. every time there's a tragedy they promise change, then nothing. typical politicains.

@RileyScott sorry mate, 'move on'? pike river families never get to move on. those bodies are still in the hill.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T23:12:33.000Z

Nah Finn, money talks. politicians don't care about bodies, just donations from big corp.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T23:33:33.000Z

can we not fight among ourselves? the point is the law is weak and ppl will die again.
