As an outsider in New Zealand looking in , I would have to agree with the above. Bligh & Newman's delivery of news /information has been outstanding. Gillard ,on the other hand , has done a mighty good impression of a rabbit caught in the headlights.

Or maybe they were making sandwiches for the needy or emergency workers ...
When we're out in the field the provided lunch usually consists of 2 packets of sandwiches per person + a piece of fresh fruit & a drink. Yesterday it was 1 pack & no fruit because there is none lol. On another note we were all provided with "hand sanitizer" as the risk of disease is a big worry. Everyone had to use it before they ate they even had a bloke monitoring us using it before they handed us our butties lol. Sunscreen was also provided as between showers the sun was hot as hell. |

Quite true Matt, we had someone make sandwiches yesterday for 40 hungry Rural Fire Brigade volunteers. Word came down that they copped a load of abuse for leaving Woolies with 6 loaves.:ohmy:

It's very easy to jump to conclusions and assume the worst of people, even the bogans can be community minded. If your V24 Commodore gets stuck just stick the hazards on and watch 'em flock to your aid :) |

It is a mark of how the situation has changed in to couple of days that we can joke about it ... I'm keeping the stuff packed for a while yet though ...
