The earthquake recovery tsar

John Hartevelt reports:

Respected former military man and senior civil servant Martyn Dunne will be Christchurch’s first earthquake recovery tsar.

The Dominion Post understands that Mr Dunne will be formally named on Tuesday as temporary leader of a new Canterbury earthquake recovery authority.

He was in Christchurch yesterday and did not respond to a request for comment, but many sources have confirmed his appointment.

Dunne is very well regarded, and is seen as having done a excellent job os Head of Customs.
