The Press Power List

The Press has published its power list for Christchurch. As with all lists, they are just the opinions of the four people compiled the list (two of whom are constant critics of the Government) but nevertheless an interesting list:

  1. PM John
  2. CERA Minister
  3. Ngai Tahu Chairman Mark Solomon
  4. CEO Ian Simpson
  5. ECan Chair Dame Margaret Bazley
  6. CERA CEO Roger Sutton
  7. The Press Editor
  8. IAG CEO Jacki Johnson
  9. Tertiary Education Minister
  10. Education Minister Hekia Parata
  11. Fonterra CEO Theo Spierings
  12. Cant Employers CEO Peter Townsend
  13. Chch Central Dev Unit Director Warwick Isaacs
  14. Civic Assurance CEO Tim Sole
  15. Chch City Council CEO Tony Marryatt
  16. Chch Mayor Bob Parker
  17. Chch East MP Lianne Dalziel
  18. Chairman Mark Ford
  19. The Gough Family
  20. The Carter Family

As the Government is spending $15 billion of taxpayers money on rebuilding Christchurch, it should be little surprise that central Government figures are more influential than usual.
