Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Arts Centre. The fence around the Dux de Lux showing all the messages of support for the establishment to remain".
Outside the Arts Centre, near the former Dux de Lux which has closed following the February earthquake. On the cordon fencing are pieces of paper with words of hope for Christchurch.
Text at the top reads 'Bob's next speech?... The cartoon shows Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker making a speech - 'We shall fight on the beaches... We shall fight in the liquefaction... We shall fight in the cracks... We shall fight on the falling rocks and in the sinkholes... We shall fight in the portaloos... We shall fight in the sewage pipes... We shall fight in the polluted waters and subsided streets... We shall fight in the heritage buildings including the Dux de Lux... We shall NEVER surrender! A man leans over a fence and yells 'Hey Bob... How about a rewrite..."We shall raise the white flag and shall get the hell out!"' Context - The continuing earthquakes and aftershocks are causing serious problems in Christchurch, both practical and emotional. Many people are considering leaving the city.
