    Causing trouble?
    Many of those getting picked up were hiding, not causing 'trouble'.
    Maybe the 'trouble' you are thinking about was the, so-called, 'Polynesian Panthers' who were fighting for what eventually happened - the Govt dropped the tactic.

    They met the target for the vaccination event - only you would see that as a failure.
    You have done a wonderful job of indoctrinating yourself with your rabid hate.
    Time for you to step back and get some balance.

    Of course, they were only about 60% of the overstayers - the other 40% weren't brown so harder to target and weren't door knocked.
    Remember, when the police knocked on the doors they didn't know for sure that an overstayer was there, they suspected that their cousins etc were harbouring them.
    It was racial profiling at its' worst.
    Had the Pacific Island community been up front and stood up to be counted as they should have, no searching would have been necessary. They instigated the problem.

    Your take but not reality - how about the other 40%?
    They didn't stand up and weren't targeted.
    Can you explain why only the Polynesians were targeted?

    They were the ones causing trouble. People were getting sick of it.

    According to some, I thought it was the moaning British immigrants in NZ legitimately who were causing the trouble then.

    I guess when the economy was doing well, the government had turned a blind eye to overstayers?

    Although the slow roll out of the nation's vaccination program is certainly cause for alarm & criticism, I think we can safely tick off the mass vaccination event in South Auckland over the weekend achieved its goal & was a success. !5,500 people given the vaccine with most people happy. Congratulations to the organisers, let's keep it going.

    Away on Planet Balance different things are happening.

    You know different - or you want it to be different?
