It has used Dr Enright widely in the past.<br /><br />"MBIE has since commissioned an independent fire engineer to peer review Enright Consulting's audit and all 13 ACP products in the audit," the ministry said in a statement last night.<br /><br />"This peer review is vital as MBIE is also mindful that a ... suspension for every [aluminium composite panel] product in New Zealand would have considerable practical and commercial consequences for suppliers and the certifying body."<br /><br />https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/354048/leaked-report-urges-suspension-of-aluminium-composite-panels-on-high-rises<br /><br />What about the consequences for those who might be trapped in another towering inferno? No mention in the article of MBIE's consideration of the potential risk and implications for those that rely on Central Government product assurance. Who's liable if and when there's another unfortunate accident? Well one thing is for sure in a causal universe the government knows that petrol cladding is a high fire risk.gregfullmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982702114112392523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436702974767114299.post-90789470978986615892018-02-17T03:18:29.749-08:002018-02-17T03:18:29.749-08:00You might find this perversely ironic, May in the ...You might find this perversely ironic, May in the Brexit fiasco is saying to the EU; "not to put ideology before citizens' safety"<br /><br />Perhaps the Grenfell Tower victims, many who are still without adequate permanent housing have fair cause to call May a ideological privileged super elite hypocrite.<br /><br />What do you think?
