Whatever happened to “we’re all in this together”?

Stuff is reporting that Christchurch residents who have been displaced from their homes will have to pay a minimum of $190 a week, two weeks bond, insurance and power if they want to get into one of the campervans set up as emergency housing.

Never mind many of these people will still be paying mortgages for wrecked homes or that many of them will have no job (and that’s only going to get worse as the government rapidly phases out the wage support scheme) – the message is clear: pay your own way.

Unless you’re a South Canterbury Finance investor of course.
