Waiho Bridge Washed Away

Yesterday on the 26th of March the Waiho bridge on the West Coast washed away due to major flooding. This happened near Franz Josef the place where the glaciers are. Lots of tourists and people go to visit the glaciers. 

My opinion is that it will cause lots of problems for the council as they will have to try and replace it quickly to get the road open.  It has been a temporary bridge for 25 years.

What has Been in the News this Week...

The new Zealand police are spending  $20.7 million on ....?  

Body armour!

They are saying that is is more comfortable and lighter then the one they are using now.

Fact 1: It will be delivered to all Police officers in New Zealand over the next three years. 

Fact 2: It is designed to stop most rifle rounds.

My opinion is that they should get it as they need it for their job but not spend as much money on it.
