The building concerned was not actually a house but an old shop destroyed in the Sept earthquake and awaiting demoltion. So even less evidence for 'looting'.

Russell, it reminded me what a very kind and generous person you are.
It doesn't matter if we have all have our little disagreements from time to time.And Jackie C, if you are reading, there was a magnificent Crown Lynn swan there, which was a bit like you being there in spirit.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Sacha,
There is an angry email from her office circulating, mentioning PA.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Kracklite,
OK Kracklite, if you were an MP with a social conscience fronting this issue (probably about one of a hundred urgent issues to deal with), and against a well-resourced government and an easily distracted media, what would your strategy be?

Because an attack on the Minister of Police would give her positive media attention, negative for Grant R, and the issue of justice for Arie and other autistic people would be lost. Some politicians are also diplomats.

Reports from local MPs about what's happening in their areas.

That myth about people with autism lacking empathy is a neurotypical construction. An NT who refutes it is educationalist Doug Biklen in his book 'Autism and the myth of the person alone'. But Biklen is villified by many NT autism 'experts' as he has helped many non-verbal autistic people express themselves in words and what they have to say is often challenging.

I know you guys don't much like the Standard, but for a moment I thought this post was true and there was going be a massive coordinated rebuilding/upskilling effort much like that behind the state house building of the 1940s.
But no, instead of essential equipment, the prince is still coming here much too early for a manufactured set of emotionally manipulative photo ops. Why can't it wait till a more appropriate time when the families have all claimed and buried their loved ones, and the dust has literally settled?

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Che Tibby,
I think Grant has worded it carefully. As Russell alluded yesterday, Judith Collins is in a defamation seeking mood.

I'm fed up with the celebrification of politics. Why it is necessary for a handsome prince to alight here briefly in order to distract the populace from the huge and complex issues facing Christchurch and the country at large. Real people are hurting and traumatised and jokey blokey stuff for nice media pictures and poll ratings is just not appropriate.
