It is the middle of the night and a man wearing his dressing-gown runs out of his house towards a portaloo clutching a toilet roll and saying 'Try me'. The neighbourhood is wrecked by earthquakes. On the ground is a newspaper with a headline that reads 'New Delhi athletes substandard accomodation facilities'. A second newspaper reads 'Given the choice many prefer to stay home'. Context: The first Christchurch earthquake shook the city on early morning of the 4th September 2010. The destruction of sewage infrastructure has meant portaloos and long-drops have become de rigeur as a consequence. There was a desperate rush to get the village ready for the influx of athletes before the opening of the Commonwealth Games on 3rd October 2010 and there was a fear that unsatisfactory sanitation systems might cause health and safety problems.

Context: Refers to an Order in Council to give Christchurch City Council more flexibility in setting rates. Cr Yani Johanson sought to grant 100 per cent rates relief for residents who had been unable to occupy their homes during the 2011-12 financial year because of the city's earthquakes - a proposal which staff said would cost $4.9 million - this proposal was voted down.
