Pike families wait for details after mine re-entry delayed

Families of the Pike River mine victims are being promised a comprehensive briefing today about the abrupt halt to re-entry plans. About 230 people - including the Prime Minister and those representing 14 of the affected families - are expected to gather at the mine entrance just before midday. But they won't witness the recovery team go back into the mine. Many Greymouth locals are feeling frustrated at yet another delay. Dave Gawn is the chief executive of the Pike River Recovery agency and is in Greymouth.
