crossed my mind too... Guys, you're the government, answerable to noone, you've made that painfully clear since ages ago... why not just do the fuckin job and stop "mitigating" the potential fallout for when you fuck people over... No accountability WTF! My house fell down and you gave it a green sticker... response: TOUGH SHIT, you can't touch this, STOP Hammer time...

What is your complaint? What would you suggest they do instead? Sit on arses?
I have never voted National but admire anyone in power with guts to just do something when it needs doing quickly.
Yes maybe they are not to be trusted with such a loose tool but under the circumstances that is surely what is needed?

Better than being a fucking idiot.
Certainly there is work to be done in Christchurch, and certainly the situation there is difficult - but if giving Gerry Brownlee total executive power, with limited court oversight at best, until after the next election, etc is the answer, then you have failed to understand the question.
It's a completely false dichotomy to think that the only alternative was to do nothing. There are about a million better way to solve the Christchurch issue than "enabling" Darth Fatso. Giving (any) politician unbridled power should make every respectable libertarian want to vomit. Or at least take up arms and overthrow the fuckers, or something.
What's most disquieting about this shameful episode in our history is the relatively small number of people here who have concerns about fundamental concepts like rule of law, democracy etc. I'm not a Kiwi by birth but I've been here for a long time, and have taken great pains to assimilate. NZ is home. So it's always been pretty offensive to me when the expat talk at the bbq turns to how stupid NZers are (as it farily often does, across different groups of expats even). But I am beginning to fear they're right. A country of 4 and a bit million sheeple, indeed.

I can't think of anything more democratic than removing obsticles ( albeit temporarily ) to property and business owners to allow them to get back on their feet as soon as possible without unnessesary hoop jumping and fee paying.
Give me the overlords instead of the gits from the council.
Oh and seeing as I am having a knee-jerk moment, if an earthquake or such happened in Auckland on the same scale, making people endure the pointless delays and beauracracy that we normally tolerate would require the installation of marshall law I am sure .
