I was camping with my eight year daughter two weeks at Cooks Beach campground (currently also flooded). I have been thinking all day of the many times she was using the bathroom facilities by herself at that campground just like these kids at Mt Maunganui. The situation is utterly horrific.

Crowing about removing the concept that "Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories has been shaped by the use of power", I guess means Act subscribes to the 'no thoughts, head empty' theory of history as a series of random events that include 'Ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece' where no power was exercised.

Nothing to do with three storm systems in one week, no sir.
