this gov't are morons,the payout is badly managed not planned out, it is in fact very amateurish and typical of this national party. john key has once again shown a money trader is just a commission man no idea about running a bath let alone a country. the insurance companies have been left out of any deal when it is the insurance that is at the heart of the whole thing. this mess john key has come up with is so full of holes itis sinking and homeowners are going down with it. mr key should stand down immediately.

They have had a major chrisis that is for sure. But the offer made is not in the best interest of the majority of residents only those with over inflated gv's. As for the insurance companies well that is a whole other issue. It is not the goverments fault we had earthquakes and frankly Labour could not of handled the situation. But at least give us land for land so we can begin to rebuild our lives. Otherwise Australia looks pretty good right now.

'Deli harris' you talk nonsense This has been a major disaster and tragedy. National have done well. Yesterdays payout was good. It cannnot be rushed. Labour are the ones in dissaray remember. Labour will loose this election as they are really not an oppositional party at all. Dumping Goff would be a start. The left have just been negative so far. You yourself or the left in general offer no new ideas to help - you all just just moan - like a good leftie does.

'deli harris' - you don't have a clue do you ? Your moronic comments are one eyed, ignorant and naive. This is one of the most expensive and damaging E.Q.'s world wide in modern times. There are ongoing aftershocks and earth movements. It is extremely complex with the insurance and reinsurance co. here and overseas. Every suburb, house and house owner has individual needs. Not to mention sewage, electricity and other utilities. The Gov.t as to get it right esp. with the insurances as homes are peoples most expensive asset - if that takes time then so be it. Ch.Ch. residents deserve the best outcome - not a rushed one. If it's not done right there will be ongoing litigation for years and decades.
The Gov.t by most accounts has done well. The payouts released yesterday are very fair. Your moronic comments are just profoundly ignorant. You come up with no new ideas to solve this disaster - you just complain and moan. If you represent a typical left supporter well no wonder Labour will lose this election. The left are proving to be negative and nasty like yourself - as that's all you can ever hope to be. Rot in hell you moron.

i agree with you, deli... but due to the idiocy of 'strategic voting', two ticks, and voting by habit rather than reality, it was that or yet another term of labour... and letting labour stay in constantly would be almost as bad (in compleatly different ways, admitedly) i'd like to think we could get something different one of these days.
