Why are the mainstream media not raising this dribble and racist theft of public money for the general public to be aware of this crap??? A so called government controlled by a handful of Maori activists and our democracy crushed, they have no mandate whatsoever as Te Puapua, 3 Waters, separate health and education systems plus many other policies were not part of their election campaign so the voters were blind sided. Now the public are slowly becoming aware Adern is running for the hills to hide out. If the media got some guts, got their hands out of Labour's bribery fund and their noses out of Labour's arse maybe our Country will have a slight chance of avoiding apartheid. Kiwialan.
