I’ve never seen an entire tower fall over like that, that’s kinda terrifying.

    Sorry I should have been more careful with my words. The government does investigations into itself all the time, and because of the Official Information Act they results generally get made public, even if they was no issue found.

    But for a company, the rules are different. If there is some legal action to be taken, then that happens whether it’s SOE or company, but if it wasn’t negligent then we don’t have any path to get info from the internal investigation.

      Ah right that’s fair enough, SOEs definitely are a blindspot from an OIA perspective. I thought you meant in comparison to a private company, which would be the same if not worse.

      I think in this case a combination of the huge public interest and the heavily regulated environment transpower operates under the causes will come out. But I guess we’ll see
