Please tell me NZ that HNZ and the National Party aren’t going to get away with blowing $100m on a contamination problem that never existed, leaving hundreds of state houses empty during a housing crisis and maybe 1000 people homeless?
Things that are terribly important to the NZ media vs things that aren’t
Seeing as the NZ mainstream media were complicit in promoting this hysteria, shouldn’t they start doing their job and demand answers to these 5 questions?
There has always been an unwritten rule between white NZ and the Cops that we will politely look the other way while they use any level of force to bash Māori. Our setter forefathers and foremothers would get nervous after dark at the natives hanging around the edge of the settlements and that fear meant we’d agree to any action by those we called in to defend us.
Every NZ media outlet who this morning don’t lead with the $100m meth contamination scam but were busy feeding it for Paula Bennett at the height of the hysteria should all be ashamed of themselves – you aren’t journalists, you are fucking pimps!
Remember the context here, National were busy trying to privatise state housing, so this constant media attention on dirty filthy druggie bennies contaminating good solid taxpayer built state houses was a PR coup from heaven for National.
It’s going to cost the government at least $600 million to clean up this mess over the next decade
…in NZ, ‘respect my authority’ is not only acceptable social policy, but anyone who says otherwise is a communist.
The simple, awful truth, is that until white middle class kids are killed in a police chase, nothing will change.
Remember, anyone in a State House where meth was tested was not only kicked out of the State House, they were banned from any State House for 12 months – how many lives did National fuck up and make homeless because of this moral panic?
