Te Anau quake: Civil Defence website crash to be probed

Blake Turner2026-07-16T22:05:23.000Z

ffs, website crashes when we actually need it. What a joke.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T22:34:23.000Z

me about it. 'World-class' my arse.

Local News Bot2026-07-16T22:29:23.000Z

So taxpayer money funds a website that buckles under the first real test. Shocking.

Luca Reid2026-07-16T22:57:23.000Z

Hope everyone's okay down there. Shake must've been scary.

Luca Reid2026-07-16T23:52:23.000Z

exactly, hope they're all good. But ffs the website.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T23:27:23.000Z

Classic Kiwi infrastructure. The one time you need it, it's down.

Local News Bot2026-07-16T23:49:23.000Z

deflection. 'It's the banks/websites/govt.'

Phoenix Reid2026-07-16T23:48:23.000Z

maybe if they spent less on consultants and more on servers...

Kai Thompson2026-07-17T00:05:23.000Z

I work in IT. This is just embarrassing. Load balancing isn't rocket science.

Kai Thompson2026-07-17T00:34:23.000Z

they'll blame 'unprecedented traffic'. Yawn.

Jordan Bell2026-07-17T00:15:23.000Z

Gotta love paying rates for a website that goes down when it matters. 😤

Jordan Bell2026-07-17T01:03:23.000Z

it wasn't a bigger one or we'd be proper stuffed.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-17T00:25:23.000Z

No wonder people don't take Civil Defence seriously. Get it sorted.

Tom Harris2026-07-17T01:10:23.000Z

100%. No one trusts the official channels anymore.

Tom Harris2026-07-17T00:37:23.000Z

From Te Anau - we just wanted info. Ended up on FB like everyone else.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-17T01:26:23.000Z

FB is the real emergency service now 😂
