dutyfree 81 Posted Monday at 07:01 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:01 PM Umm, the Council was supposed to have anticipated a global pandemic? (FYI I think the Council sucks) but this is a silly criticism. armchairadmiral, Deep Purple and Rangi1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 51 Posted Tuesday at 03:19 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:19 AM They doubled or tripled the marina berth rentals in the Viaduct, then said to the long term Kiwi renters, whoops sorry, and put them down the normal rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They never were in the first place. The number they quoted as coming during the sales pitch was hugely above the number of berths they were preparing, that's unless they expected 100 odd boats to anchor out each night which was not a happening thing. The floating transporter is due next week to take a few boats away as the Govt won't let the owners in to use them. Sadly leaving with the ships is many many many millions of bucks that was but now not going to be spent in NZ. But the ship is dropping a huge number of boats off here for locals and Aussie. A few more big stink boats are coming in on it. armchairadmiral 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armchairadmiral 262 Posted yesterday at 12:01 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:01 AM Yep....a kind caring and compassionate Government.....depending on who you are ! 300 a day reportedly come in by air. NZers reputedly but a lot are naturalised Indians ,Asians ,British and USA.If NZ is to keep out Covid its all or nothing. .Seems stupid to send away people who want to spend shiploads on their boats and could have quarantined on their boats at no expense to taxpayers.
