THE SHOP IS GONE, THANKS

The shop and our home are now gone.

We only had 5 hours in total to salvage items from the shop.

Everything in our apartment was destroyed in the demolition.


I would like thank those people who made it all happen, and hope it never happens to you.

The person from civil defence who told be that my warehouse was destroyed when it was not even damaged.

The people from ERNI who never contacted me regarding salvage.

The policeman who accused me of being a looter while salvageing my posessions and who detained me under the civil defence regulations.

The USAR team and the policeman from NSW who took the Santa Claus from my shop and took each others photos with it posed beside wrecked cars.

The engineer from Wellington who insisted in being paid in $250 an hour in cash to facilitate access.

The civil defence employee who acted as safety officer and also insisted in being paid $100 an hour in cash.

The Army person who prevented me from salvaging items but told me I was welcome to pick through the rubble after demolition.

The person from CERA who removed the approval for salvage from my file.

The person from CERA who put the building on the urgent list and denied salvage during demolition.

All the people who never kept me informed of what was happening regards demolition and and salvage and all those people who promised to get back to me who never did.

You all made the most unpleasant episode in our lives just that little bit more unpleasant.

Our thoughts will always be with you.

If you are a resident or a business owner in the Red Zone who is having problems with access or has had problems similar to mine please email me as I may be able to help.
