People whose lives changed due to their involvement in the CTV building collapse during the February 2011 earthquake recount their stories.
It was a distraction and an outrage. The CTV building’s construction manager apparently stole the identity and qualifications of a former colleague and passed himself off as an engineer for years. As part of the
Collapse podcast series about the CTV building, MICHAEL WRIGHT revisits the strange case of Gerald Shirtcliff. It was an odd exchange. A bright spot in the middle of a very long, very detailed summary during the 2012 Canterbury earthquakes Royal Commission investigation into the collapse of the CTV building. The six-storey office block had pancaked in the February 2011 earthquake, killing 115 people.

The Australian housing market is going gangbusters and all the signs are the boom is here to stay.
When property data firm CoreLogic tracked 1,191 auctions last weekend, it found 86.1 per cent of properties that went under the hammer sold, a 2.3 per cent increase on the week before.
The company’s head of research, Tim Lawless, says it is a result not seen since 2015.
“When auction clearance rates are high, you expect house prices to be rising and vice-versa,” Lawless said. “At the moment we’re seeing clearance rates well above 80 per cent. The last time we saw the same was in 2015, but you have to go back a decade to see auction markets as strong as this.”
