Sharon Maccanico has been identified as a victim of the landslide at Mt Maunganui.
The following is a statement on behalf of Natallia and Carmine, Sharon’s mum and dad.
Our hearts are broken following the passing of our beautiful daughter Sharon Maccanico.
Sharon was born in Italy. At age 3, she moved to Australia and at age 8, moved to New Zealand.
This was where her passion for dance began. Sharon wanted to be a professional dancer, and she would often practice for hours every day.
She participated in seven solo competitions at regional and national level and won all seven. Last year she also won an international competition in Belarus.
We gave her all the support we could and were so proud to watch her work towards achieving her dreams.
We had the most amazing relationship with Sharon, from the day she was born, she was loved by all.
Our family is a very close family and always did everything together.
Sharon and Natallia had a bond like no other, and were best friends. Sharon felt comfortable to talk to her about everything and had a very close relationship with both her parents.
Sharon has an older sister in Belarus, who no matter how far apart they were, would always remain in close contact and had such a strong bond.
She was very close to her family in Italy and would often call home and talk to everybody for hours.
Her teacher at school always told us that she was the heart of the class because of her strong energy.
She made so many people happy and touched so many lives. We loved that she had the ability to get along with absolutely anyone.
Sharon was very well respected and had a great sense of humour.
One year ago, Sharon met the love of her life Max. They very quickly formed a strong relationship.
Max became a treasured part of our family, and he looked after Sharon and made her feel so special.
We would like to thank everybody that has reached out to our family and sent kind messages.
We have been so well supported, and we would like to especially thank all the people who have worked so hard to bring Sharon back to us.
We also want to express our gratitude to the community, local iwi, and all the people who have been beside us through this difficult time. We are very grateful for their support.
Sincere questions are unanswered or delayed by comforting bureauCrazy.
Me thinks it’s the same cabal that wreaks havoc on our “We The People” guardianship/governance. Because. lest We forget, We The People elected politicians to see us right.
But we have been screwed by NOT only by the politicians (because it didn’t matter blue or red), but by parasitic bureaucrats, and they are FOREVER, because nobody votes for them.
Why is there no Sheriff in NZ to hold scoundrels acting against the interest and soul of the people of Godzone accountable?
Vote for NZ Loyal in 2026, and this will change!

Pay particular attention to the last two minutes of the below video.

Hope they get a roadshow together.
And I also hope that small splinter parties pull their finger out and join NZ Loyal. Because there is really only one way forward: Patriotism
These great kids were failed by some not very great and irresponsible grown ups. It makes me very sad. I can only hope for justice.
Justice? By New Zealand courts?
Bang on Anonymous!
Cheers Anon
Don’t mention the ‘non-native tree’ removal.
Shush.
Utterly tragic.
Unfortunately most politicians and bureaucrats are entirely controlled by retarded lefty woke ‘virtue signalling’ groupthink.
I’ve witnessed it myself over many years.
Sadly, most people working in government are simply stupid.
It is actually quite frightening.
It’s almost as if they only recruit stupid people who feel entitled and important to be parasites.
The recruiters themselves are un-employable in the productive world.
Seems to be a common thread with all these statements, they all thank the local iwi. Overseas visitors wouldn’t think to say that with out being coached?
Good spotting !!!
Wonder if MSM got to them before they made their statement. “ Don’t mention the war “ – MP
