Nice one Bob Parker!!

Good to see this statement from Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker:

"GNS scientists have been telling us that there was a likelihood that we would have an aftershock of this magnitude," he said

"Thankfully there has been no loss of life or serious injury. This is not a miracle and today's events show that we have been right to be cautious. We have done so much work over the past 15 months to make our city safe."

The man has just shot up quite significantly in my estimation. Which is an oddly bittersweet thing to say as he is merely saying it how it is......
