The MSD Boss is just following orders.

It’s very important that we all as New Zealanders acknowledge what is happening here.

Every single homelessness agency warned the Government that if they implemented their deeply flawed Emergency Housing plans, there would be a tsunami of homelessness.

As exposed by TVNZ, the entire system is geared towards finding reasons to disqualify these broken human beings from accessing any support.

MSD trawl information to find a reason to disqualify those applying in a triage system that incentivises those who cut the most.

The Governments response to this homelessness that their direct policy has caused?

Why they will simply allow Police to arrest the homeless.

This is a spiteful hate cocktail driven by the Rights need to punish the poor because their failure reflects badly on the rest of us when wealthy fat tourists visit on bloated swine palace cruise ships.

The weeping wound of our inequality that we have created shames us in front of the guests.

This policy will not be understood by the homeless, many of whom are mentally sick with severe addiction issues. They will of course resist arrest with an energy borne from terror forcing the Police to deploy levels of force that will predictably be lethal.

I say that you Kiwi must see the realities of the policies the Government you voted in have caused.

I say that you Kiwi must see the wretched poverty that your Government’s policies have created.

I say you Kiwi must see the human collateral damage of forever cutting social policies.

We cut outreach. We cut food banks. We cut emergency housing and the very fucking predictable occurs and the solution?

Arrest the wound we all collectively created?

This is what we is now. This is what we have become!
