From memory Simon Mercep almost got Jonesed for his "and how does that make you feel?" questions,

I think Gerry might get a bit of the Bob (& weave) Jones treatment once Fendalton Red Zones are announced and business insurance ends and the city stays shut to all but the bull dozer.

War tours aren't the same without IEDs adding to the experience.
That said a friend wanted to run walking tours through the devestation. He thought adding insight might aid fundraising for the rebuild/restoration. Scoarched earth CERA put an end to that.Edit- If you quote Wayne Brown...

Thanks for the link.
It's a shame the Judge mentioned below wasn't interviewed.

Once the word on looting got out I thought the guns would be on the street. But the cordon and the military stopped that.
Alas it didn't stop the looting and I'm not talking of this poor couple. The commercial scale looting done by those inside the cordon and protected by "safety" demolitions to cover their tracks.
These commercial looters and those who oversaw it must be brought to justice. This is still going on and is into the millions. The copper dome of the old ANZ building and a few commercial kitchens is only naming those in the public domain.

SJ - sure but there needs to be a shift in intensity. If it's not Christchurch and Earth Quake - it needs to be.
SB - we're agreed on the problem at least.
A couple of shots that could be fired are: Who looted and who covered it up? Land reports - where are they? Can we rebuild?
I'm getting the structural engineers in for the 3rd time in 4 months. Ruamoko aint finished by far.

From Red Alert http://blog.labour.org.nz/index.php/2011/05/09/parents-rely-on-watershed/ Lianne is busy watching Coro.
Brendon is nice but dim. I don't see him as the MP for Christchurch when it desperately needs one.
Clayton barks, but what about? It's just noise. Waimakariri could benefit from rebuilding infrastructure there and so drain efforts for the second city of the nation. ie Kaiapoi housing inside CHC airport noise zone. In time flts will be restricted and this will impact Churchur economics as we are at the end of the line. What is good for the Waimakariri may not be good for Christchurch.
The problem of large parties when we have a large local (20% of NZ GDP) problem. -
Talk is starting in my circles of heating things up in politics.
Otherwise well respected right leaning Labour voters want someone to get angry.
Cosgrove isn't Christchurch and he may benefit from its demise.
Brendon Burns is easy to ignore when he's right in front of you. He goes from Grey to Transparent in the blink of an eye. Ruth Dyson is MIA. Lianne Dalziel is worried about Coro St. This isn't a street in Bexley or Brighton but on the Telly.
No one is taking Gerry on.
If this support doesn't come from within existing parties - it might be more interesting time this summer.(edit) Joe I'ld really like to see someone take leadership from the oposition on Christchurch, but they haven't.

Karma - a light blew and darkened the stairs to just-us that day.
