Tariana Turia is being characteristically outrageous with this statement about gangs.
"I'm not excusing any of the behaviour, it is totally unacceptable. But just like I'm not prepared to say that the police are all rapists, I am also not prepared to say that all gangs are criminals."
However, Prime Minister Helen Clark criticised Ms Turia's comments.
"I think Mrs Turia is really not facing reality when she says not all gang members are involved in criminal activity," she said. "I've yet to hear of one who wasn't."
What a looney, mercurial, romantic fruitloop Tariana Turia is.
She goes on;
"What I can say to you is that it's not Hori and Hemi who are bringing in the large quantities of methamphetamine into this country.
"We are talking about Asian gangs who are not patched and there's no focus whatsoever on that."
Utter balderdash. There is most definitely a focus on Asian gangs. And according to Black Power life member Denis O'Reilly;
The New Zealand Police contend that New Zealand gangs are currently responsible for 95% of the street supply of 'P' within Aotearoa.
How does she get away with it. And here's another thought. Just as the government is poised to hand over increased powers of discretion to the police in an area which disproportionately affects Maori, is it wise for the Maori Party, via Turia, to so blatantly insult and antagonise them?

It's all good... When you buy a New Zealand produced product or service, you're helping to create jobs, promote growth and improve our balance of payments. As every cricketer knows, a run saved equals a run scored – so you're giving our country a double whammy benefit when you buy New Zealand rather than from another country. We can be proud of the quality of our products.
Do you believe in freedom of association?
Prosecute gangs for their crimes, not for their friends.
