- Date: 19th March 2019
- Summary: FLOWERS BEHIND POLICE CORDON (SOUNDBITE) (English) CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCILLOR FOR LINWOOD WARD, JANY JOHANSON, SAYING: "It's going to be a very difficult time. And you know, of course Christchurch has been through so much, we've had the earthquakes, the floods, the fires and now this. And you can look at that two ways, you know you can ask 'why us' or you can say, actually, you know, we've dealt with these things before, we can deal with it again, we will come together, we will be stronger, we will unite, and we won't be afraid of difference, and I think that's a really important message." PARENT AND STUDENT ARRIVING WITH FLOWERS IN HAND FLOWERS ON POLICE ROADBLOCK (SOUNDBITE) (English) CHRISTCHURCH RESIDENT, FOGALELE MOLIOOTUAU, SAYING: "It's really sad, you know. Every time we come here to see the flowers, we feel so tearful, so emotional. We went to see Dean's Avenue (mosque) yesterday. It's just the same, you know. It's really sad."
