Who thinks after 4 weeks we will be back at work?

I got pulled over at a police checkpoint yesterday on my way to the supermarket.

I expected to be asked if I had a good reason to be out and about.

Instead I got "Hello sir, we're just doing a spot check on wofs and regos".

Clear to see where their priorities lie.

To be fair to the Plod - the Dodgy Cars and Dodgy drivers are probably still a greater threat than Covid-19.

Also the sort of person who drives around in illegal cars is more likely to be flouting the lockdown rules.= Profiling.

You would have told the cop to get fucked, in your usual fashion I guess?

There's been one sitting in the same spot on broadlands all week, fuck knows what he is doing, but he doesn't seem to be interested in anybody doing the speed limit.

Hopefully $56 million will help stop them getting sick.

So one group of people gets more money because of their race. I think there is a word for that...

But all the regular users of the road will know he's there. and drive accordingly ...

And if you were in that group you'd refuse it ... right ... ???

Except I'll never be in a group like that so I'll never know. Middle class white guy with a steady job and a few bucks in the bank is a shitty recipe for handouts.

As usual the ones at the top will benefit and the lowly ones will get fuck all.
More government pandering to the maoris.

Has there been any explanation on what they have spent it on?
Or was it just, "here, take this & sort yourselves out & don't say we didn't do anything for you"

Did you find the word you were looking for ?

Maybe there is a simple answer.

Maybe Maori as a demographic has a relatively poorer health profile across NZ, and that the government judges it to be a worthwhile investment from a health perspective.

https://www.health.govt.nz/publicati...-trends-report

That their most prevalent health conditions might be aggravated by Covid-19, and that making payment to community based health services might help keep such people out of hospitals (where they possibly need longer periods of treatment than other ethnic groups, and such treatment could tie up valuable resources).

Maybe the government wants to improve the track record of the past, regarding meeting Treaty obligations.

Just a thought.

Aah, someone with a brain, or at least someone willing to look into it instead of making it a race issue.

[Katman]

Naaahhh, surely it's just cos they're darkies.

[sidecar bob]

Aah, someone with a brain, or at least someone willing to look into it instead of making it a race issue.

But it is a race issue.
Its funding based on perceived race & nothing else, not need or poverty, just the skin color the recipient wished to identify with, regardless of actual skin color.
Burying your head in the sand, or pretending it might be related to something else to fit your agenda doesn't erase the fact that it was given to one race based only on race.
It really is a shocking display of racism & separatism.
