While thousands of people, Maori in particular, are protesting at parliament over jobs and businesses lost due to the mandates, Ministers Carmel Sepuloni and Willie Jackson issue a press release titled:
Government Acts To Support More Māori Into Mahi
It's your typical 'all hui no do-ey' political statement outlining a nebulous 11-point action-plan to get more Maori into jobs. Old hands among us have seen it dozens of times before.
Did the Ministers see this ad in yesterday's DomPost?
Or the signs being carried by protestors?
End the mandates.
Update: It gets worse. According to NewstalkZB's Barry Soper, the Prime Minister left the jobless protestors behind in Wellington and went to Rotorua to launch this employment scheme!

This Government are beyond parody.
And thank you for honestly reporting on the protest. I support them 100%.
I note the PM plans to revisit the rules surrounding legitimate protest. How appropriate.
Sad to think that NZ will probably turn to the military to get control back over a front lawn. Given ODESC and NSC are meeting to discuss the protests it's a reasonable assumption.
Surely we can spare a diplomat to intervene since our MP's are all out of action?
