  • Oh Dear - Nick Smith was just spinning . . .

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Friday, June 23, 2017 08:48:44
    I'm sure we were all pleased to hear from Nick Smith that flammable
    cladding like that which caused such a disaster in London had been
    banned from New Zealand in January, and that officials were confident
    there were no buildings using similar dangerous cladding in New
    Zealand.

    It seems that the ban only took effect from May, that the officials
    just had no evidence of the cladding being used, and it was only last
    week that the government actually asked local councils (and only the
    big cities at that) to do some checking. Turns out it isn't an easy
    process, but fortunately the Auckland Council had already started
    checking - and found two buildings that have used the same or similar
    cladding.

    That would be the advice he has been given.

    Of course it is an easy process. All the details of construction are on file.

    but fortunately the Auckland Council had already started
    checking - and found two buildings that have used the same or similar cladding.

    Which is it, same or similar?

    ACP panels are very common, but not all are the same and not all have combustible polystyrene cores.

    I'd say that once again Dickbot is spouting off a load of bullshit.

    Me old Mum used to say empty vessels make the most noise. Sounds like a
    perfect description of Rich n' little Andy to me :)

    One of them - there may be branding issues. Apparently they will have
    to actually snip bits and test them

    Exactly - the same or similar - and it does matter . . .

    Which you agree with . . .

    I believe that the apartment blocks in Camden were build by Labor led
    councils under a Labor Gov.. The Labor supports there have been very
    quiet over it.
