A poll shows nearly three-quarters of NZers want something done about oil leaking from RMS Niagara wreck.

I posted another story about this the other day.

So 73% of NZers want them to check it out, and only 8% don’t. Plus we might not have to pay for all of it:

The German government has offered to consider helping fund a survey of the wreck, and possible removal of oil from it, if the New Zealand government asks.

[Kiritapu] Allan initially said she had no plans to approach the German government, but now says she won’t rule it out.

It’s stupid not to take them up on this. Something needs to be done, and if they’re going to help pay, there’s no better time.
