With the appropriate caveat that it's not important right now (but it does speak to the heart of that city) it seems that the RWC, and probably any other games, are off the agenda. AMI Stadium is stable as a structure but Stuff say the surrounding liquefaction will take months to sort out.

Sorry for the levity, I hope it doesn't offend.
Well Gio, I was hoping my Playcentre jibe to be taken in the similar vein.
Yes, I think Gio missed your tone a bit there.

Apart from disagreeing, too soon, surely? The ‘abuse of power’ meme usually takes more than 24 hours to come up, doesn’t it?
Has latest is a foul-mouthed spew at the Queen for daring to send a message of sympathy. He really has lost the plot today. That was unforgivably stupid and self-involved and he doesn't seem to be able to grasp that.

Also the “Auto Quote” function is a bit erratic when you copy and click reply sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t.
You don't have to copy, just select.

Oh that is more reassuring. There’s definitely an upside to massively improved communications abilities, but it comes with a hefty downside of miscommunication.
Indeed. Newstalk ZB and TVNZ both reported that incorrect bad news, but I tweeted it when Stuff seemed to have an official word on it. Apparently not.

Muse: OPEN THREAD: Voices from Christchurch, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Does anyone know how folk at the NZ Broadcasting School are?
Apparently Paul Norris was on RNZ yesterday and said they were fine, no one at the school hurt.
