Bugger. Tourism needs a shot up the wazzu for this, no one (except avid scientists with no care for their wellbeing) should be walking on a live volcano, full stop.

I've lost count of the times I have walked the Milford track. I've yet to encounter trampers or tourists put off because of the occasional avalanche. And they've wiped out a few. Point is there are risks in nature. But getting out and about is what makes an interesting life.

Somewhat disturbed by the unsympathetic tone of this "discussion". Several lives have been lost, remember?
I'm not a Jacinda or Labour fan, but full marks to her for the way she fronted to another tragic situation.

Agree with you there mate
Unlike that Morrison guy over the ditch who can’t seem to see awful bush fires through the smoke

Agreed. She's a great PR PM. That's her strength. If she fronted a decent bunch, we'd really be going places. But she doesn't - so we aren't.

Sorry, don't agree, we already have too much cotton wool culture. They knew it was an active volcano, they took the risk willingly. Perhaps the risk should have been spelled out more clearly, or with the elevated activity level (was at 2) they should have not permitted the tours, but to say no member of the public should be able to go to white island at all, stuff that.

It's all PR with our dear sweet Jacinda unfortunately.
The last 2 years have seen nothing but PR but the star dust has turned to bull dust - a female PM who would not stand up for sexual harassment of her staff and lied. No good.
