Man who lost family in Erebus disaster supports Christchurch monument

A man who lost his parents and sister in the Erebus disaster supports a new proposal to build the long awaited national monument in Christchurch David Allan told Checkpoint in 2023 he was optimistic a memorial would be finished by the end of last year, 45 years since the tragedy. But more than two years on there's not even a decision on the location, let alone construction of the monument. There was pushback on locations in Auckland and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage has now proposed three potenital sites in Christchurch and asked families for feedback. David Allan spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
