Its only a building, it maybe iconic but build something else equally iconic in its place.

I don't know what else is more iconic than a 140 years old building that stood almost since the establishment. What... you mean something like the Chalice, a giant icecream cone?
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

That seems to be the sentiment of a lot of ChCh residents too. But it's as much a protest about the residents lack of power or influence on what is being done to our city by people appointed by a government which doesn't live here....
It came as a major shock to a lot of people to find we had a bishop with an agenda which included getting rid of the hard to maintain and "irrelevant" Cathedral at the first opportunity. If Parker had balls he'd be saying "who will rid me of this turbulent priest".....
And Brownlie....shit, he's an RC and has nothing invested in the issue. The Basilica which you hear very little about is at least as badly damaged but it will be repaired - eventually.
For the benefit of the out of towners, a shitload of overseas experts on this type of building have said it's fixable - and offered assistance, in many cases free of charge. But the Church has made up it's mind and won't be pressured.
I'm not a god botherer either - but in this one case, I'm with the people who want to save it.
Just faidin away!
While I sympathise with Christchurch residents that they have had to endure the earthquakes physically, don't forget that the rest of us are paying for it as well.
There are also spin off's in the fact that Christchurch has more work opportunities than any other centre in NZ in a work depressed period.
It just gets a bit tiresome watching all the procrastination and pissing about over things that don't actually matter much in the shorter term!
Anyone notice how the Japanese are just getting on with rebuilding their massive damage compared to our little city?..
