Tuesday's headlines: Canterbury earthquake anniversary; delay to asset sales programme; concern over rising youth suicide rate.
The Press
Two years after the first earthquake on 4 September The Press devotes its entire front page to quake stories.
The lead story says half the homeowners hit by the quake are unhappy with the Earthquake Commission's performance.
The paper has commissioned a survey of satisfaction with EQC and the private insurance market and says the results are harsh evidence that neither is performing as it should.
The 'poster child' of the earthquake, the Westende Jewellers building, has radically changed in the past two years with a new building on the site and former residents settled elsewhere.
NZ Herald
The New Zealand Herald says the Waikato-Tainui iwi may press for smaller tribes affected by the Mighty River sale to receive shares on credit until their Treaty claims are settled.
The rest of the front page is devoted to Fashion Week volunteer Felicity Wren, who was killed in a car crash near Morrinsville on her way to the event.
Waikato Times
The Waikato Times reports a Hamilton couple is alarmed a midwife criticised over their baby's death can practise without any official record of her involvement in the fatality.
Robert and Linda Barlow are calling for a more transparent database.
Police tasers have been drawn and pointed in the Waikato nearly 100 times since they were introduced in 2010 and in one in five instances, they have been fired. That's slightly above the national average.
Dominion Post
The Dominion Post says Maori water claimants will meet on Tuesday to decide their next move after the Government was forced to delay its first asset sale till next year.
Rising youth suicide - including that of a boy under 10 - has prompted the chief coroner to voice concerns about problems arising at such a young age.
ODT
The Otago Daily Times says Dunedin Venues Management has named one of its own as its new leader.
Operations director Darren Burden has been named from more than 100 applicants as the new chief executive.
And in its own tribute to the earthquake anniversary, the paper talks to Christchurch refugee Vivienne Fitzgerald and her family.
Now living in Wanaka, Mrs Fitzgerald says life is looking a lot brighter, since they left the suburb of Queenspark, which was badly affected.
