The immorality of banning the homeless while exacerbating more homelessness

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown welcomes possible Govt move to ban homeless from Auckland CBD

Mayor Wayne Brown says he welcomes any Government law change to empower police to forcibly move homeless out of Auckland’s city centre – insisting it’s the Prime Minister’s job, not his, to eliminate the city’s “scruffy” characters.

Brown told the Herald Auckland Council has done all it can to solve the problem of rough sleepers’ intimidating, drunken behaviour in the city centre, but the bylaws available to him are weak.

“I had to put up with the Prime Minister telling me that the town is scruffy. The town looks good, but the people in it are scruffy,” Brown said.

“The thing is that we’re [Auckland Council] responsible for places. But the Government makes the rules about people’s behaviour. It’s a people problem. Bylaws are a very weak thing.

The Boomer King is in competition with the Eggman to see who can be the biggest arsehole towards the homeless.

They both want to make the homeless even more homeless.

Here is what is so outrageous about this plan.

1 – It was this Government that cut back on the food banks.

2 – It was this Government ahh cut back on outreach to the Homeless.

3 – It was this Government altho changed the Emergency Housing Rules and threw all these people out into the street with no where to go.

Now they are so embarrassed and ashamed at the poverty they have created, they want to gloss over it and make it invisible by giving cops new powers to rough them up.

The immorality of banning the homeless while exacerbating more homelessness should shame every single one of us.

I think it’s important that if you voted National, ACT, NZF or Wayne Brown that you are forced to witness the manifestation and reality of those cruel social policies.

Why should you be allowed to walk the streets without guilt?

You made these people’s bed, unfortunately it’s on the very streets you now wish to walk on.

  2. “I feel no sympathy. I repeat, I feel no sympathy! The Auckland people chose their fate. That may surprise some people. Don’t fool yourself. We didn’t force the Auckland people. They gave us a mandate, and now their little asses are being thrown out!” ~ Wayne ‘Goebbels’ Brown

  4. When I lived in Brisbane ,they had the world expo.Every night the police would go into the city center and round up all the homeless people and load them into busses and take them into the country and throw them out miles from any where .That plan clearly did not work because they were back very soon and the police were picking up people every night so either there were hundreds of homeless people or they were just enjoying the free transport on their daily trip to the country side .
    The old saying that ,you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink applies here .You may move these people somewhere else but they will be back or others will replace them .Shifting these people will not fix the situation you need to fix the cause which is POVERTY .

  5. Brown called someone ‘scruffy’? Has he looked in the mirror lately?
    He looks homeless himself.

    Whereas Luxon looks like a horrible plastic doll. He’s not real.
    He’s a fake prime minister leading an immoral govt.

    2. Further I think that we may be living in a giant game of Chess. (Chess I think is one of the best musicals ever made, just a bit better than Oklahoma – for its song Everything’s Up to Date in Kansas City, They’ve gone about as far as they can go!)

      Anyway our game – the six chess pieces: pawn, bishop, knight, rook, queen, and king. We have a Bishop? I query as to whom is the Queen?, Luxon the King, Peters as the Knight, Rook or Castle being Seymour, the Bishop is any or all of the Maori Cabinet members , and the pawns, or in this rather fishy stew, prawns, will be all the other MPs.

  6. What would Luxon or Brown know about ‘morality’ – they are both ME ME ME people? Neither gives a stuff about the homeless. And Brown – you blind bat, Auckland was scruffy, unloved and dirty before the rough sleeper problem went ‘out of control’. You were just too stupid and mean to clean it up. We stopped going to the City a long time ago – it was disgusting! How the hell can you find accommodation or food if you NOW have no income. This CoC has gone out of its way to get rid of the little, but important jobs, e.g. hospital & street cleaning, the jobs that kept our country ticking over. These jobs have been ditched so this CoC-up can pay landlords, consultants etc. and keep giving to the grasping greedy who have MORE than enough. Nothing will change under this CoC – THEY HAVE TO GO NOW!
