SummaryMy name is Rhiannon Bond, my family and I live on Papamoa Beach Road. We have always wanted to live by the beach. This oil spill has turned our dream into a nightmare. We are unable to open our windows, doors or even go outside as the smell is overpowering and badly affects my sister’s asthma. Not only is this an environmental disaster it is a human tragedy as it will destroy the life style this community was built on. 15 October 2011. Main Body
