Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (National): Look, I would take issue with some of those generalities that the Minister in the chair, David Parker, just referenced with this current situation being different to what we faced in Christchurch. Yes, there was, for a very short time, a number of people who left the city, but the population was on the rise relatively quickly, within 12 months of those earthquake events, and that's evidenced by the numbers of people who are registered with the Project Management Offices rather than any particular census data.
