“I’m from Tamaki Makaurau. I have a good job with Riverside market. I am security, and we need this area nice and clean. We don't want dirty things everywhere, like rubbish.
I like Christchurch because there's lots of entertainment, lots of people, all loving, give me aroha, tautoko mai. Kia kaha, be strong.”
I've been a hustler for 18 years now. I'm a lover, I'm a hustler. I'm in here to entertain Christchurch, all around Christchurch. I'm a busker and I'm an entertainer.”
