Christchurch Old Boys Network

A reader e-mails:

I’m not a huge supporter of Collins but I read this article and it made my blood boil.  This is everything that is wrong with Chch.  The most senior justice in the country dies suddenly and a group of Chch old boys complain about a street being named in his memory.  Clearly he is not one of the First Four Ships and clearly didn’t go to school here.  I’m not a great fan of Brownlee either but you can see the mentality that he has had to put up with in the rebuild.  The old boys network in Chch is alive and well and looking after their own.  This is mean spirited of the lawyers who opposed this.  

I can only agree.
