Yeah, we were on to this before FENZ was even formed. We said, look at Australia, they're unwinding their rural and urban fire services because the amalgamation was such a disaster. The compromise we got back then, it was the last cock-up of Peter Dunn when he was Minister and it got too far and the Nats couldn't unwind it, is we managed to get them to agree that they'd do a post-implementation review. That has never happened. When Brooke first became... Minister in turn Lafitte as we wrote to her and said hey that review that the public was promised hasn't happened we think that you know we can demonstrate lots of different ways how inefficient things is and it's even worse than those warnings and forecasts and we've never had that review we should not only did things alienate the old rural fire service by their sort of corporatization and and the bigwigs have now have now alienated their own urban fire service by exactly the same thing Totally out of touch, one of the most dysfunctional head offices in Wellington is things.
