Lives, livelihoods and homes have been lost with thousands left devastated in its wake. Many are still seeking word on those missing, while also fighting to reclaim their homes and possessions, if possible, from the mud and silt left behind.
Click on this link for a glimpse of the heart-breaking reality on the ground. It shows the devastation of one of our most productive and beautiful areas of the country which, eye-witnesses report now represents a war-zone in some areas, particularly where valleys narrow.
Locals are continuing to grapple with what seem like insurmountable obstacles and locals say that the majority of assistance is coming from volunteers in the area, and Kiwis from all over the country, who have come in to help, despite the obstacles to get there.
A major concern is that eye-witness reports in the worst affected areas appear to be ignored and are even touted as false information. There have been carefully choreographed statements from politicians and public servants on behalf of the government popping up in just-out-of-the packet high-vis vests, making statements in the vicinity, but those reports are nothing in comparison to the searingly honest eye-witness accounts coming from the mud-splattered souls on the ground cleaning up, in Hawkes Bay. It is the eye-witness accounts that hit home. The strain in their voices, the tension they are under, the enormity of what they are facing would make the strongest amongst us share their shock and grief, wrap our arms around them and do everything possible to get them the help they need and try to lighten the load.
It is those stories shared that move the heart and the Nation.
For they speak truth.
This article is a genuine plea for help on behalf of those souls in the Hawkes Bay.
Why is there such a disparity in reporting, between : the msm and the ‘political-lot’ – and those on the ground in the disaster area; of what is probably one of the greatest disasters to impact New Zealand.
Who is hiding what, and why are they (the authorities) hiding the truth from the people of New Zealand.
Lets stand up and question the likes of hippy-chippy, cuddly coster, and the rest at the ‘trough of governance’ (and the trough of reporting the truth).
Those who are suffering, deserve the support of those in authority.
I hope all those who have read this article, have read the full detail. People are crying out for help – and the government, police, army, navy, et al., are scant in their involvement. Including the b/s requirements of meeting woke regulations and stipulations – the Bailey Bridges for one.
Appalling state of affairs for our country, NEW ZEALAND.
Here is a thought – all those bludgeoning off our COUNTRY (yes, you lot on the dole and other benefits) – get off your fat derrieres, go to Hawkes Bay, and make yourselves useful – by helping those who are suffering big time.

Unemployed scum. How dare they sit around ripping off the taxpayers and doing nothing.
Oops, got that wrong. Political, police, army scum…
