Doing a great job so far, still, I'd rather he sent out a cheque (no matter how small). Masks can be home-made, scarves covering the face seems acceptable, so give money instead

The buildings on the left and the right were intact, having been built by professionals. It's unacceptable that a quake-prone NZ should have such shoddy building standards without any repercussions for the guilty party
