Business owners complain about not being allowed to retreive items from buildings before demolition.
The protesters were led by photographer Kurt Langer, who said the group were afraid their buildings would be demolished before they were allowed back in to salvage anything.
...
"It's a complete communist state telling us we can't go in. They'll probably demolish all our buildings and everything in it and the demolition companies will get it all, the gold, silver and artefacts ..."
Civil Defence national controller John Hamilton this week said the decision to take apart adjacent buildings was sometimes made on site by the Usar team and not the contractor.
Buildings were demolished only after engineering and heritage reports by Christchurch City Council heritage planners and the Historic Places Trust.
Mr Hamilton said officials would do everything possible to contact building owners and he had to be satisfied that had happened before a building could be taken down. It was the owner's responsibility to inform tenants.

Probably more like fear of difference that we don't understand

Field Theory: Hospital Pass, in reply to Yamis,
But saying that Dunedin can't cope with 30,000 when they are already penned in to do that isn't.
Do we know that capacity crowds are planned for all the pool games? I assume they are, just haven't been interested enough to delve and confirm. Wonder what the accommodation plans are, if so.

4.1 million going to repairing the uninsured turf at AMI
Is that money coming from the RWC company, not general taxpayer funds?

Was a lag for a while - common with batch moderating (just annoying when yours is one of em). Great blunt comment there by Paul Williams (17 Mar 2011 6:08pm):
Michael, you might want to reflect on whether or not you, a person forced to resign from parliament because of your deceit, should call others out for truthfulness?
What is tragic about this situation is that you have nothing other than a track record of stupidity and double-standards.
I once wondered if you were redeemable, around the time of Cam Campion's death; I wonder no more.
