How many of you have seen recent advertisements on televisions where a chef is appreciating his life in Australia. This campaign is by none other than the Australian government.

An earthquake of 6.3 magnitude on Richter scale has hit Christchurch, a southern New Zealand city. The earthquake hit at 12:51 pm local time. The quake has hit for the second time in less than five months. The earthquake hit during broad daylight when the streets were filled with people. It has caused severe damage to life and property. The fatalities have been severe with many people trapped under the rubble and sparking fire. Power and phone lines are down and the city of 400,000 is in chaos. Prime Minister John Key, who called an emergency cabinet meeting for later in the day, told parliament: “This is a very populated time with people at work and children at school.
