a music video to express post-quake frustrations.

A GROUP OF Christchurch residents, including musicians, mediaeval enthusiasts and the local Wizard, has banded together to make a music video to express their frustrations with the Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), EQC and "politicians" post-quake.

The video for the song, Bugger, features footage of Cathedral Square, affected homes and a life-size puppet which is meant to be Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee but which could be said to look more like the head of CERA, Roger Sutton.

After more than two years, and tired of fighting insurance companies and bureaucracy for what they believe is a fair deal, the group, described as the "Buggered All Stars Chorus", hope to use the song to raise awareness around New Zealand of their situation.

As well as the use of pyrotechnics to emphasis their point, the song includes the line: "And we say bugger to CERA and politicians, bugger the minister too."



At the filming in Cathedral Square, Christchurch resident, Amanda, who turned up to sing in the video after seeing the event invitation on Facebook, said she did so because she believed it was time the rest of the country knew what was happening in Christchurch.

"The song says it all. We are ordinary Kiwis who bought our homes, and did everything right, got insurance and paid our EQC levies. We have been treated badly here and the Government has ignored us. We want to let other Kiwis know that if it can happen to us, it can happen to you, too."

A banner hung by the group outside the Christ Church Cathedral reads: "The earthquakes stopped us but inert procedures are killing us."

The south island is slowly sinking under the north. There is bugger all that can be done to prevent that. this makes pollies run about like headless chooks who have buried their heads in sinking soil. Solution: all mainlanders move to the high ground or migrate north.

But if they all move north then the north will be overloaded and might capsize.

• Heckler pours ‘brown’ substance on Gerry Brownlee at service — “This is for you!”



And on Radio NZ's Morning Report this morning, Guyon Espener was talking to Gerry Brownlee across the road from the CTV site when a passing Christchurch resident told Herr Brownlie exactly what he thought of him in no uncertain terms, with the entire exchange of words broadcasting live on-air. CLICK HERE to listen to Guyon Espener's intervew with Gerry Brownlie. The forthright appraisal from the passerby saying what he though of Herr Brownlie is at 8 minutes 23 seconds on the audio clip, which can be saved to your computer as welling as being listened to.

Our society is turning into a bunch of sissys! Pouring stuff over someone in protest? What a pansey. What happened to just giving someone a hiding that pissed you off?

I agree, but in this case, you would be handing out a hiding to about 6 security staff while Brownlee looked on.

Well if you truly believed in your cause, it wouldn't matter what obstacles are in the way.
