    Hm 180 grains. S&W or Winchester 40 calibre. Yeah, that'll do, it's close range.

    I went to school with Maoris, worked with Maoris, have good friends who are Maoris. We only hear about the shit bags and bludgers. Remember there is a majority of good hard working Maori out there, we just dont hear about them.

    Most of our problem Maori are products of urban drift. About forty years ago young Maoris migrated to the city they had kids but had no idea how to raise them as in Maori comunities the grandmother looked after the youngsters and instilled the values they required in life.
    These new city kids are the main trouble makers. There have been schemes to bring surrogate grandmothers into the citys but it is too late for this present generation.

    Saw an ad. from 'another country", described some kind of shotgun load as 'darky-dusters' - maybe for cheeky-darkies??

    O.K, we cut some slack for the 'tinted chappies' ( anybody with1/16 or so Maori) in NZ and they think they have done well.

    NOW put them in competition with the rest of the world and how do they look?

    Like ferkin 3rd world losers.

    And so they screech 'not fair'?

    Like the rest of the world will care?

    Leave NZ to the radical Maori - and pick up the pieces in 10 years or so.

    I feel sorry to the practical hard working genuine Maori that has to carry the burden of the non-working radical.

    Well said. We do forget about all the maori families who do fine, work hard and love their kids.

    The fact that a Labour Government has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into "Closing the Gaps" since 2000, and yet Maori and Pacific Islanders are worse off, tells us something is fundamentally wrong.

    Taxpayer help needs to be on a quid pro quo basis - you get a benefit payment and do some community work/something useful - in return. At the moment it is something for nothing.

    Wisconsin. http://www.urban.org/publications/310223.html

    It's called Welfare to Work. Think the jury is still out on whether it is successful but an interesting example of what is being tried.

    South Dakota has that system, seems to work, didn't hear too much criticism of it when there.

    Sounds like a good system but I have heard Wisconsin criticised here in NZ. Just trying to keep an open mind which ain't easy 'cos I'm a white anglo-saxon honkey taxpayer.
