Something I seem to be observing in the last week or so.
 Before there was a lot of Government statements concerns expressed and money handed out willy nilly to support cutural sections of our population how just dont want the be vaccinated in spite of their own experts and Covid experts.
Now in the last week or so, still have Iwi , local groups jumping up and down .. stay way.. more support, colonialism at work again , racist BS.
And the government is just saying to the whole country
"Covid is coming to you, protect yourself and get 2x vacced  ASAP"
 
Its my impression the Government has either given up pumping more support in, or it is releasing to do so endlessly is not a very good political look.. votes.

Sad part is , if my impression is correct, the reason is another action late, 'made up as go on the fly'..for actions and stand taken long ago on a more honorable basis.

 Armed forces where on stand by 1st lockdown for check points and such.. not used..Iwi check points ineffect condoned illegally by the government.
I agree if check points cant be fully manned by the police then they should be supported by the armed forces...
Might keep the gangs crossing borders unchecked with their illicit goods as well.

What exactly are people up far north for example afraid of?

this thread script is hard left for some reason. Reply box is normal for me match box side hard right. May want to upgrade tech support. 

I think its important to remember that Hone only represents a very very small minority, He is just an activist and has a long storied history of aggitating and generally being very provocative. Dont lump the 178k sane rational people in with Hone, he is just blowing wind up his own backside.Given his mother and brothers history of physically assaulting carrington mental health clients, youd be forgiven for thinking he copped one to many floggings as a kid...  

5.00am news zb police support roadblocks
Apartied creeping in??

Bit of irony here.
 One one hand we have Brian tamaki and the 'freedom ' protesters protesting restrictions on 'emergency mandates, claiming nazi and communist government etc (forget right or wrong for now)

On the other hand we now have groups, primary those who have the freedom to choose not to be vacced in well know holiday areas, knowing holidays coming up , knowing . mandates being loosened. now restricting the freedoms of the majority of (vacced) New Zealanders to move around the country and even to their own places (baches etc) they pay rates to subsidize the ppl who are at risk by choice.

If the government panders to a minority (under 10% of the population) who are at risk by choice...

Where then, are the same 'Brian Tamaki' and religious organisations, and  freedom fighters protesting this gross freedom of movement we have under the human rights bill and United Nations Charters?

Bottom line any road blocks outside mandated emergency regulations (eg red zones) are then illegal with government support....

Now where are the freedom ppl? 
Makes them a joke... bigger joke.
