Christchurch Tragedy

| Gaven Wicks Managing Director

Our heartfelt thoughts go out to all of those affected by the absolute horror in Christchurch.  It beggars belief that anyone could unleash such hatred on innocent people.  As the toll climbs, all I can think of is the shock that the beautiful City of Christchurch must be in.   It seems this is not a problem only for the major centres around the world, this tragedy can occur anywhere.  I truly hope ALL of those responsible are caught and given exactly what they deserve.   https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-15/live-blog-christchurch-shooting-multiple-fatalities-new-zealand/10904416
