Bloody hell, not again. Kaikōura's taken enough hits.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T06:14:17.000Z

Lyell Creek always does this. Council did nothing after the last flood 🙄

Mia Carter2026-07-09T07:08:17.000Z

fukn useless council. bet they still get their bonuses

Noah Bennett2026-07-09T06:21:17.000Z

building consents in flood zones should be banned. but nah, property developers run the show

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T06:32:17.000Z

Hope they had insurance. Some stuff is irreplaceable though.

Riley Scott2026-07-09T07:13:17.000Z

but no one listens til it floods again. rinse repeat

Mia Carter2026-07-09T06:45:17.000Z

Yeah nah, the council's 'flood mitigation' is a joke. Just a few sandbags and pray.

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T06:57:17.000Z

Devastating for locals. Why isn't the govt stepping in more? They spend billions on other stuff

Noah Bennett2026-07-09T07:38:17.000Z

meanwhile the mayor's off on a junket. priorities eh

Jordan Bell2026-07-09T07:13:17.000Z

Meanwhile they bail out corporates. but a small business gets nothing. classic nz

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T08:03:17.000Z

true. but the media only cares for a day then back to politics

Alex Rivera2026-07-09T07:25:17.000Z

Sending love to Kaikōura whānau. We'll help clean up, just say the word.
