It seem Iwi are going to block off a lot of Northland because the risk of Covid to locals  who dont want to be vaccinated...
 End of the day boils down to that after the $158,000,000, so far pumped into Iwi for vaccination .

Seems on one hand The government says get vaccinated and if not you put yourself and family and community at risk.
 And on the other hand condones Iwi (no other communities) who dont wish to be vaccinated.
Also they say " Covid will be coming to your town doesnt matter you like it or not....."

Sry I just cant get my head around the logic or thought process in front of us...
Can any one explain it ?

I think that's a way off. But police need to grow a pair and clear these illegal road blocks. When someone gets run over at one of these stops it will be on them.

I agree with Hook iT  the s*** will hit the fan in the near future if Maori set up road blocks without Police backing.

Nor do they have the right to impeded any law abiding citizen. Just look at what the Tuhoe maggots have said that no person shall enter the Ureweras, What ? This is our country !

yep but $2.2m are to maintain it abs urs in ruins tractors parked across boat ramps. Huts vandalised and in dis repair. And traps rotting in the Bush after they kicked out dOC. Who's accountable for the money no one...

Haha! If you ever drove to a football match in Liverpool and as soon as you parked your car a kid would run up and suggest you give him a couple of bob to mind your car. You always paid up. 

Left for NZ in 1983 and I bet those kids are still doing the same.
 Nah , they have got older and now shake down whole neighborhoods

Some how I dont think it is the police supporting any Iwi road blocks...
Even thu Cindy often states "police independent investigations..." Then yeah.
 But when it comes to Police "assist " road blocks, thats political interference in our 'independent' police force enforcing the law.
Cindy and here government are not very popular with the police from top to bottom.. giving funds back to gangs .. list goes on and on.
Then state "police to assist..."  that a big kick in the face to police and their legal authority..

Imagine if you where policeman, or similar situation at your  work....

Sure we have covid.. civil defense, medical, coast Guard emergencies,  'freedoms often take a 2nd place to get things done, save lives and property..
Something the 'freedom' ppl and brian tamaki dont under stand...

But for politician to actively infer removal of the legal and independent powers of the justice and policing without going thru the House debate, submissions, select committee and passing of legislation, system, goes right to the core of and destruction that our democracy is based on.

The implications for the future....and I say this for the 1st time... smells a bit like repeat of history, rise, of 20th and 21 st century Fascists

Harawira said they were wanting to work with police as much as possible

Work WITH ..
Thats support.. but not doing anything that requires a sworn in policeman (sry person)  to carry out.
I dont have a problem with that.. or any local community supporting..

Interesting thing, a friend was stopped at the Akl to Northland border a long with many others to check exemptions etc etc, While they were stopped 10 Black power drove through the road block or checking point. She asked what the story was and the people on patrol answered not much we can do about it. The point is and has been brought up many time before why do we even bother iwth lockdowns, certificates etc if the people who are supposed to be at risk continually flout the rules. The answer is with this Govt is that  their are no consequences for the rule breakers but for you and I that try to do the right thing, the book would be thrown at us if we didn't comply.
