| 738717 | 2009-01-14 20:08:00 | Good question, but I highly doubt that IF he sent the bill that it'd say "Must be paid within 24 hours" ... sounds like its really been blown up by the media :-/ | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 738718 | 2009-01-14 20:17:00 | ..... sounds like its really been blown up by the media :-/ Surely not!!!! :horrified :eek: :rolleyes: Used to be relatively common in "slow news weeks" - unfortunately it has become the norm to overstate the case now, previously in headlines, more lately, all through the 'story'. "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story" - this truism has never be more applicable not only in NZ journalism, but around the world. |

| 738719 | 2009-01-14 20:29:00 | More false reporting? This from the NZ Herald: "A rental car company which charged recovery costs to the grieving parents of two young men killed at Fox Glacier has backed down after a storm of criticism led by the Prime Minister" I thought the bill was covered by donations, not written off. |

| 738721 | 2009-01-14 22:20:00 | I thought the bill was covered by donations, not written off. Thought so too, I watched the news and that's what I heard. |

| 738722 | 2009-01-14 22:34:00 | You can vote. Why not read the news? The news presents all facts so we can rely on this without question. LOL...wow, a joke from you sweep, I'm impressed! |

| 738725 | 2009-01-16 09:29:00 | I'm a bit drunk at the moment, but I agree with pctek. Sure, it's sad that they died, but life goes on. Bills still need to be paid. And like... someone said, it has been blown out of proportion by the media. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 738726 | 2009-01-16 09:46:00 | No bills stop because someone has died. IRD, funeral costs - is it bad to charge people for the funeral??? These guys died as a result of their stupidity. You rent things - you are responsible for returning that item, the compnay had to get it towed, why should they get stuck with the bill? x2, a business is a business. |
