The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

My insurance premium has gone up 50% and once they make the eqc premium $200 it will have doubled.

That eqc premium should be on the rates not insurance then everybody pays

Nup.

They bought land off people who got fucked in the (residential) red zone, but that's an entirely different thing.

Can see quite a bit of the red zone from work (have been accredited to go into our building in town)

Chancellor looks horrendous from close to it :/

This video is not about the Earthquake. I was going through my documentaries and found it.
The video is about Parkour in Christchurch and the background is Cathedral Square. It is quite sad now.

You'd think that in the age of computers things would be easier to organise.

Apparently they don't use computers.
Or filing cabinets.
Or any kind of organisational system at all.
Or common sense.
Or sense.

Fuck . And now EQC, after telling us for 12 months that we were due a contents pay out, and that it woudl be anything up to 16K, have now decided ( we only know through the media) that they're not sure if they will.  So we've been budgeting on that income for the rebuild for the last year

cunts....

No, that's payout for the Earthquake insurance premiums I have been paying.

We are getting a subsidy for accommodation because of the earthquake, until we can get back on our property, and we are deeply grateful for that. The support is generous, and very appreciated. This issue is entirely separate.

This problem is solely an organisation, who I had a contract with to cover me up to $120 000 + GST in total in case of a natural disaster, deciding to rethink an agreed payout, after 12 months of representations that the payout would be made.

I have no idea which way the finer point of law will decide the payout or not, but to represent that such a payout will be made, for such an extended period of time, only to suspend and possibly change it, is just wrong.
