what a joke. six people dead and they can't even release the report on time? classic council delays.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-17T00:36:40.000Z

yeah but if they rush it and get it wrong, then what? more deaths? take the time.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-17T00:17:40.000Z

as someone who works in geotech, this is complex stuff. better to get it right than rush and mess up again. but yeah, frustrating wait.

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T01:13:40.000Z

facts. they'll sugarcoat it and call it an 'unprecedented event'.

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T00:25:40.000Z

ffs my lunch break read and now I'm just annoyed. remember that family who died? they deserve answers.

Jamie Fox2026-06-17T00:48:40.000Z

that's what I think too. but still, the families need closure.

typical council incompetence. probably gonna blame it on heavy rain or climate change. just own it for once.

Zoe King2026-06-17T01:16:40.000Z

if we can't trust the council to manage a hill, what can we trust? smh.

Jordan Bell2026-06-17T01:22:40.000Z

exactly, it's literally a life and death matter.

Jamie Fox2026-06-17T00:59:40.000Z

my cousin was meant to be at that campground that night but changed plans last minute. still gives me chills. hope the report is thorough.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T01:10:40.000Z

bit harsh to blame council for a landslide. sometimes shit just happens. but yeah, the wait sucks.

Jordan Bell2026-06-17T01:26:40.000Z

everyone here acting like experts lol. just wait for the report and then complain. that's the kiwi way.

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T02:07:40.000Z

lol the classic 'wait and see' approach. typical

Reagan Shaw2026-06-17T01:36:40.000Z

rip to those six people. this country's safety standards are a joke sometimes.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T01:50:40.000Z

you're not wrong. just tired of all the negativity online.

Zoe King2026-06-17T01:43:40.000Z

bet they're just polishing the language so it doesn't make them look bad. waste of taxpayer money as usual.
