Christchurch: Cathedral to be bulldozed

Quite frankly people have died in this last earthquake trying to save old buildings. We're not going to do that any more.

My absolutely strong position is that the old dungas, no matter what their connection, are going under the hammer.

Excellent call Gerry. That should motivate all the rabid ferals looking to save those now proven dangerous buildings.

I look forward to a D9 doing its thing on the cathedral. Rather than ratepayer's or taxpayer's wedge being poured into its restoration.

However, like Ju-Liar and her carbon tax, I suspect your strong position may well be curbed.
