big brother ethos
it's happening, and it seems that our (the people) permission is not required (until voting day). first we have had mp's trying to tell us how we raise our children. the fact that 80% of kiwis do not agree means nothing. now we have govt departments putting
spyware on our doctors computer systems to gain information without our permission. never mind doctor/patient confidentiality. i can (just) live with the cameras around trouble spots to help with crime, but it is now going way overboard. i guess we'll have to wait until the elections to make our opinions known. they (the govt) won't pay any attention until then.

girl raped at hastings primary school
she should have been safely tucked up in bed. she was however, walking alone, through a hastings primary school between 11pm and 2am. she knew about keeping herself safe. she is twelve years old.
the girl told police she was raped as she walked through the grounds of ebbett park primary school. she she had attended a display of krumping, a high-energy dance style to loud music, which has gained popularity among hastings teens. groups gather to watch each other compete.
the girl said she was attacked by a young maori man, probably a teenager, wearing a white "krumping" shirt with a blue and black paint design and jeans. he had shaggy hair with a shoulder-length "rat's tail". the attack happened between 11pm and 2am. constable lisa tod said the girl managed to run away and some youths found her in a distressed state and called police.
the girl was injured in the attack and had received medical attention. she was traumatised and was recovering with her family. police were concerned that children and young teenagers in town for the dance competitions were usually unsupervised by adults.
the question is, do you know where your children are?

new problems with police
looks like the latest accusation has to do with racism. three officers!
david newell, 29, alleges during the incident in auckland last week that an officer pulled down his pyjama pants and called him a "monkey." these guys [police] just might be a heck of a worry. are there racists in the police? absolutely. i am a victim of it. i was on my own so have no proof, but i know it exists.
