Just do it

Stuff reports:

A man has asked the prime minister for permission to personally recover the body of his brother who was killed on Whakaari/White Island.

Mark Inman met Jacinda Ardern after his brother Hayden Marshall-Inman, a tour guide from Whakatāne, died in Monday’s eruption.

On Wednesday he emailed Ardern’s office saying he would like her to pardon his actions if he staged a personal recovery.

“With the current conditions of sunshine baking and decomposing his body, he’s going from a situation where we could have an open casket to now more likely not having a body at all – due to your government’s red tape and slow decision making,” Inman said in the email.

If he decides to recover his brother’s body, and ends up being prosecuted for doing so, I suspect thousands would donate to his legal fees.
