Pike River families want someone held accountable

Family members of those who had died tragically in the Pike River mine disaster are angry as nobody has been held accountable for the deaths.

An inquiry into the Department of Labour and Ministry for Economic Developing that were monitoring the mines has found no staff member responsible for the deaths. Apparently it was all due to systematic failures.

"All the families want is accountability." Says Bernie Monk, a spokesman for the families, told Fairfax. He also claimed that Lesley Haines who was a part of department to do with the health and safety section should be fired.

Well thats just dumb. Personally I think that if the families want someone to hold accountable I think somebody should stand up and take the blame. I know I would, I will if you take me there and I will literally say that it was all my fault. If someone needs to be fired then fire them if you want the families to stop being annoyed.
