In a report on NZ Herald on Christmas Eve - John Key is reported to be hopeful that the worst is over in Christchurch - the report reads:

"John Key is hopeful the worst is over in Christchurch, so he can spend Christmas in Auckland with his family.

The Prime Minister was considering heading south after the new swarm of aftershocks, but decided the city is in good hands and there is not much he can personally do.

The Prime Minister will stay in Auckland for Christmas, before heading to Hawaii with his family next week."
