Police said there was one occupant inside the plane and they had made it out of the aircraft safely.
Sounds pretty bloody good to me!

I was always told that having a Wheels Up Landing is a great way to get into Qantas, is the opposite true for Sea Planes and getting into Air NZ?

Glad to hear the Pilot got out alive though and always nice to hear of others in the area moving so quickly to assist as well!
