The Christchurch Earthquake is serious business and has had a huge impact on the lives of the residents, BUT: as with any news event there are peripheral political, financial and media fuck-ups that make up the bread and butter of this podcast.

We talk about election promises, parity with Australia, labour unions – ALL THE FUN STUFF! God, we’re a crack up.
