    Good money after bad…

    So, $4.9 mil , 577k , just doing the math . Who loses here again?The old cruddy vandalised building was obviously rubbish before the Quakes. (and I bet they knew it)

    As far as Stadiums, concerts etc goes, if there is more than one asset for this sort of carry on, you can bet the deduction will be "Council says sell."

    I have no argument, I just want world peace. I hope the bill passes.

    This I find incomprehensible – why is it “instead”?

    Yes, fair enough. I just don't know why it is questionable at all. For me it's a no brainer. Pass it. I'll support. Everyone in my life from birth to now is equal to me. My family, a bit odd. But so many kind people that have wonderful lives. Without living it, I guess some dont understand that equality completes.
    Incomprhensible? Bit backward perhaps.
    The fact actually is we are losing.
    The fact about certificates of "Marriage" will happen. If our water goes , can we drink?

    Also, the “get to the back of the queue” trope is so wretchedly familiar to women. I don’t want to see it deployed against other marginalised people too.

    But why look at this as "wretchedly familiar to woman"? Craig has expressed for a long time how it effects/affects him. Surely this is the human race. All I was saying , (and agreeing with Steve), can we please save our water, our electricity for all nz people , at the same time as, support for the bill to a local MP. Who otherwise do we need to convince for the sake of the law to be passed?
    I have no time for queues. We should be all equal.

    Not directly at Craig but….
    I have no prob with multitasking. Lots of us seem capable but/and many get pretty precious for want of a better noun but she is on sabbatical so..
    I don’t think there was malice/patronising meant . This should have passed many years ago, without thought, this is obvious, why question?
    Kracklite,
    I’m defending Steve because I know him and many don’t see his raw belief. It is no issue to protect the rights of all people. Make it so.
    And why not save our infrastructure instead, for all of us? It’s not about those of us that can continue to afford to pay, it’s about those that cant.
    And not because we can afford to defend/ pay for them, It’s so they can afford / defend to live
    That’s the wonderful thing about the Olympics. Someone will get them there if they should be. One sees that in spades even if they don’t feed the starving.
    Really, cant we all agree that this is a no brainer, pass the bill, everyone is equal, yay, and get on with saving the poor and destitute. so we can all live in harmony for eternity.
    Ok drinking, philosophical, but if you asked me tomorrow , I’d say the same flowery stuff sober.
    Now, moving on, gotta say, the athletes in the running today. The most stunning chicks in the world. Gorgeous, powerful, stunning watch. :)

    It has been suggested above that the housing situation is a red herring in relation to the planned CBD. I disagree. The central city belongs to the people of Christchurch, and many of these people are being treated very badly indeed, so their annoyance is to be expected.

    Yes, this.

    And this?

    Seriously becoming a blinkandmissit town eh? Do you think there will be any monuments(a la ancient Greece) or will it all be swiped away from the memories of all Cantabrians.I guess that memorial plaque will be it.
