    From a Maori perspective, the term “earth” or Papatuanuku

    this concept to the flow of electricity, a useful parallel can be made to
    the 3-pin plug.
    Electricity Maori
    Active (phase) Spiritual element, active, tapu
    Neutral Physical element, neutral, noa
    Earth Mauri or life force derived from Papatuanuku or Earth Mother
    What part of for(int i=0xC02;putchar((i&7)+69)&&(i>>=3); ); don't you understand?

    Funnily enough ... Discretion that we are all are capable of getting ... is usually (your) attitude based. Not (your) race based.

    Must be a South Auckland issue. I've got discretion a couple of times .... and I wasn't even asked which Iwi I belonged to ...

    So why does race need to be written into the guidelines?

    I'm just going to put a bottle of fake tan in the door pocket & spray it on my face when I get pulled up. Problem solved.

    They should scrap Police discretion for fines. Give every mofo who speeds 1km over the speed limit or is in breach of any part of their licence fines with no excuses.

    Then we will have "one law for all". Who's keen?

    Old saying ... To those that only have a hammer in their tool kit ... every problem looks like a nail.

    A while back ... there was a clamp down on unrestrained kids ... would you see this as persecution of parents/caregivers .. ??? ...

    Issueing tickets to those with no money to pay ... wont help the Government coffers ... Chasing unpaid fines doesn't work well in some areas either.

    Perhaps (some of) those ethnic groups that need help ... GET help. Like being assisted by people capable of helping.

    But in the end ... if you or I do not take advantage of help offered ... the fines will continue to mount. Regardless of either of our ethnic backgrounds.

    'The reason put forward is that Maori have a different learning pedagogy (style) than others and need the extra time to focus. When we have 230 free positions for Maori and Pacifica students in engineering and can only fill half of them I have different views on their study and learning styles.!'

    Why stop at traffic fines?
    What's the criteria for such favourable treatment, a Maori sounding middle name, or are they going to introduce a special racist ID card.
    that's why the have the tattoos on their faces, barcodes for WINZ

    A rather nonsensical comparison. Was the campaign aimed (or not aimed) at specific demographics, or applied to all parents / caregivers?

    So it's only Maori who can't afford to pay? Why should they be singled out for special favour?
