Christchurch East Labour MP Lianne Dalziel today said some former residents were upset after not being informed of the demolition.
Brownlee called Dalziel's comments a "bit of a beat-up".
"I think this is a demonstration of the new bipartisanship approach the Labour Party wants to take and an indication of no change," he said, referring to Labour leader David Shearer's recent comments that the party would take a bipartisan approach to the quake recovery.
And Brownlee explains, for Liane Dalziel's benefit, the reality of thre job the CERA is facing:
Brownlee said residents had been informed of the demolitions and a street meeting was held on Friday.
However, with more than 5000 homes to be demolished in Christchurch's red zones, it was not practical to tell former homeowners about the impending demolition of their homes, he said.
"Once you have settled, you know the house is either going to be moved to another site ... or demolished."
The current approach of not informing former homeowners was reasonable and would not change, he said.
'Nuff said, wethinks.

Surely all Mr Brownlie needed to say was "WE own the houses, we will do with them what we will."
The nutters sold their houses, they no longer have any rights or privileges as far as these houses are concerned.
No surprise though that the communist scum is once again using Paradise's shaking for political gain, it has done so since 04/09/2010.
