Another Treasury report critical of post-quake recovery work in Christchurch has drawn scorn from Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Gerry Brownlee.
A Treasury evaluation says there are significant issues relating to governance and transition of projects from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority to new entities.
The report says transition remains a significant risk to the effective delivery of the city's planned anchor projects.
"It's the usual sort of rubbish from them," said Gerry Brownlee.
He said the report doesn't mean a thing, and made a sarcastic attack on Treasury's competence.
"I mean these guys are so brilliant they look at New Zealand's involvement in the Antarctic, give in complete green lights all the way, not recognizing we don't have a plane that can fly there safely, nor a ship that can get there. They're brilliant - brilliant beyond belief."
That in turn, has drawn derision from Labour MP Megan Woods.
Ms Woods said Mr Brownlee's full of puff, bluster and blame when it comes to these reports.
"It's a bit like a 12-year-old stamping his feet and telling his parents it's the teachers fault for a bad report."
She said it also shows further delays are likely for the city's convention centre.
"My concern is that we have a minister that refuses to see the validity of these reports, and therefore I'm not confident that the minister is putting the work in in his office to ensure the transition goes smoothly."
