Why is Govt paying?

A friend from Auckland emailed this week, asking the question why are the government (taxpayers) paying for the clean up from the Rena mess, the seabed and the foreshore no longer belong to the government.

There are hundreds of volunteers ready and willing to do the job for free. (the word volunteer means people who are willing to sacrifice their own time - free of charge or payment or compulsion) for the betterment of the community. This is what we used to call COMMUNITY SPIRIT. Councils and Government effectively DESTROY this in their efforts to be seen to be doing something good and worthwhile, and to justify their own existence when it is NOT NEEDED. To add insult to injury, I was told by a friend of mine who volunteered to do the work for NOTHING that they are insisting on paying people $20 an hour to do this work! WTF! And just think - the majority of you people are just about to vote more of these morons in for another 3 years - god helps us!
