Mount Maunganui landslide: Current risks, future inquiries and the ongoing heartache
About this episode
The recovery operation at the Mt Maunganui landslide continues with police warning it could take days or even weeks.
Tauranga City Council has launched an investigation into what happened in the run-up to the deadly landslide.
Already questions are being asked about who knew what, and when. We'll talk to University of Canterbury senior lecturer in disaster risk and resilience, Dr Tom Robinson about the danger of landslides after severe weather events.
Also, NZ Herald senior investigative reporter Michael Morrah has been in Mount Maunganui for several days, and joins us on The Front Page.
