This week, The Hui look at the Government's repeal of smokefree laws with smokefree advocates and academics, Hone Harawira, Catherine Manning and Anaru Waa. Plus, we see how a successful business started from a passion for Tukutuku.

I'm pleasantly surprised - aren't you? - by how things went at Waitangi this year. There were no dildos, no mud, no manhandling, there were no ugly scenes and none of the stuff that many of us were probably expecting. Given what's happened in the past, and how much more tense it was predicted to be this year, because of the Government's Māori related policies. Instead, things were handled exactly how they should always be handled, with conversation. The people responsible for the policies fronted up like grown ups to explain themselves and listen, and the people who weren't happy about those policies let it be known. There were a couple of people who kinda let their teams down- Winston getting all het up wasn't that flash, Peeni Henare chose a bad turn of phrase, and Hone Harawira swearing like a school boy did him no favours. But otherwise, it was mostly fine. And I tell you what, it gives me some heart that we can actually get through this debate over the Treaty Principles Bill like adults. That has been the thing that has worried a lot of people the most. That yes, we absolutely need to talk about this, and we almost certainly need to change some things here. But getting to that point was what really worried me, because I thought things were going to be very ugly. Well, we've just had a demonstration that we can do it. That we can debate and challenge ideas without resorting to the violence that we have been warned will inevitably come. It doesn't have to. If it didn't happen at Waitangi, which is one of the most combustible political venues, then it doesn't have to happen And hopefully, based on what we saw this week, it won't.

Activist and former MP Hone Harawira has told the Government it will not succeed if it tries to pass laws to strip the Treaty of its mana, or to belittle te reo Māori.  Harawira, who spoke at Waitangi on Monday, says there are more important things to be doing as a nation than messing with the Treaty.  He says the ACT Party's Treaty Principles Bill is "going down the toilet".  Harawira was selected by Ngāpuhi to speak at the pōwhiri. Harawira spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

I am assuming you got as bored as I did over the break with the obsession—or mania, as Shane Jones quite rightly called it— when it came to ACT's idea of having a chat about the way we view and interpret the Treaty.  The problem with David Seymour is he is too logical, especially for nutters and extremists.  He wants to debate, to toss ideas about, to —dare we suggest— act like an adult and have a discussion.  Hone Harawira, I noted, in one of the alarmist gatherings just referred to the others who don't agree with him as bastards. So, you can see what poor old David is up against.  In an adult world, minds can be changed through logic, and detail, and fact, and reason.  In Hone's world... well, you are a bastard.  The media, I noted, started the new year as they left off: unable to comprehend the fact we've changed govts and therefore outlooks, and fully lined up alongside the Kīngitanga and espoused the alarm, outrage, and upset.  Seymour, if you think about it logically, is to be admired. All he is asking for is a discussion.  Even National who aren't supporting his plan past select committee are taking that position I suspect not because they don't agree with him, but because its messy politics.  They have bigger fish to fry like the economy which has been sinking like a stone. A to be fair to them, I'd make it my number one job as well.  But it is a fair-weather approach that National has specialised in for many years; pick the stuff you can get votes on. The moment it looks a bit gnarly? Walk away.  Seymour to his credit, and the end-of-life choice work he did was an excellent example, picks issues and runs with them with no fear, no favour.  It is a laudable approach driven by principle, something more of us should aspire to.  There is no doubt the Treaty has been interpreted many a different way.  The document is not prescriptive, nor that descriptive. It is open to a multitude of reactions. That's why we have seen the Māori Party formed and reformed, any number of court cases enacted, and lord knows how much activism from the Waitangi Tribunal.  Mostly its caused angst, if not upset. We are not a harmonious nation when it comes to race relations and ACT and Seymour want to talk about it.  If only more were mature enough to give that a crack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A story about the psychology of sport using Māori concepts, an interview with former politician and Far North advocate, Hone Harawira, plus a heartwarming story with the baker from Whanganui who is on a mission to make rēwana bread mainstream. 

I feel the cops are being lined up to take the blame for the increase in this year's road deaths, and I actually don't think that would be fair at all. It turns out we're heading for a high road toll again this year. According to officials, we're probably going to end up with somewhere between 350 to 360 deaths. If you look across the last decade, that's very much at the high end of things. And it's the very opposite of what should be happening. We've got the Government's Road to Zero plan, so we should be heading in the other direction – we're supposed to be aiming for 0 road deaths by 2050. Set aside how unrealistic that goal is to those of us who think rationally, the transport bureaucrats seem to be extremely serious about this, and they're making it very clear who they blame for the uptick in road deaths: the police. This is not the first time transport officials and politicians have blamed the cops for not doing enough things like breath testing and speed camera work and so on and whatever else they expect from the police. This cop blaming has been going on for a little while now, so I'm going to assume that this is deliberate and that this a strategy from the transport people to take the heat off themselves for their own failures. But it's not fair on the police. Because they've been pulled every which way by Government demands in the last two years. These guys were manning MIQ facilities, manning borders around Auckland every time the city went into lockdown, they were sent up north to babysit Hone Harawira's checkpoints so the local iwi could get its way and not pack a tanty if they were told no, they were called in to deal with the Parliamentary protests for the entire time that went on. And meanwhile, they're also trying to deal with a spike in crime in ram raiding and gang activity. They're only so many police to go around – there's not an infinite supply of these people, they can't be everywhere at once. The transport officials are on a hiding to nothing blaming the police. We've all watched the way the coppers have been pulled hither and thither in the last two years. I suspect public sympathy in this one is going to be with the police. They do not deserve to be apportion blame here, they're actually deserving to just be given a break.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning Northland has woken up in the orange traffic light setting, after the Government ended its seven week stretch in the restrictive red light setting at midnight. The move comes as the region hits 86 per cent double vaccinated against Covid, with about 6500 jabs to go before they reach the 90 per cent milestone. But not everyone is pleased about the decision. Te Tai Tokerau Border Control leader Hone Harawira told Sarah Robson the shift to orange spells disaster.

Iwi are supporting police at Northland checkpoints, to keep Covid-19 out and let vaccinated visitors in. Te Tai Tokerau Border Control leader Hone Harawira spoke to Corin Dann.

The man behind Northland's iwi-led checkpoint group supports the decision to keep the top of the country in Covid-19 red light settings. Hone Harawira says he approves of any measure that may dissuade travellers from entering the region. Northland has been singled out as the only region to be at red light come 30 December.

Te Tai Tokerau border control is grateful the police will set up checkpoints to require visitors from Auckland to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test. Earlier this week, iwi leaders and northern district health boards petitioned the Government to allow only fully vaccinated people from Auckland into the area. The Government is adamant unvaccinated people will be able to travel north if they return a negative Covid-19 test 72 hours before travelling. Te Tai Tokerau Border Control founder Hone Harawira says police are picking up on the concerns of local people. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Welcome to the summer from hell.  That's from an iwi group manning the Northland Covid border, following the announcement of Auckland's border reopening.  From December 15, people will able to enter and leave the region if they're fully-vaccinated or have a pre-departure swab.  Te Tai Tokerau Border Control warns there will be a deluge of Aucklanders moving north.  Chief Executive Hone Harawira told Heather du Plessis-Allan there will be no controlling the virus.  “We're talking with Police, we're talking with health authorities, we're going to be talking with iwi to see how we can manage it ourselves in our areas.” The Government says police will work with iwi on the northern boundary to ensure Northlanders feel safe. LISTEN ABOVE 

Hone Harawira needs no introduction as a protester - he's been at it longer than many people have been alive. Even his harshest critic would probably concede he knows how to make it work. So, how does one of the country's most recognisable protesters rate those who gathered in recent days in places around the country to stage their own protests against vaccinations and Covid-19 restrictions? He spoke to Corin Dann.

The Far North is now in alert level 3 lockdown after a two unlinked cases in the township of Taipa north of Kerkeri prompted a snap shift in alert levels last night. A makeshift border is no in place from the Kaeo River bridge across to the north of the Hokianga Harbour. Northland community leader Hone Harawira says he has concerns about how the local health system will fare if there is increased community transmission. Harawira spoke to Susie Ferguson.

"Incredibly disappointed" police have blasted the behaviour of anti-lockdown hīkoi members who blocked a state highway, risking public safety. A strong police contingent is continuing to monitor a hīkoi involving members of the Sovereign Hīkoi of Truth (SHOT) movement at the Southern Auckland checkpoint border after a police line had to be used to move the protesters off the highway in the early hours of this morning. "Police are incredibly disappointed that this group of protesters have chosen to take this action," they said in a statement. "By carrying out non-essential travel they are putting themselves, our staff and the wider community at risk, while additional Police resources have had to be redeployed in order to monitor the movements of this group at the checkpoints." The group claim to be heading to Waitangi - but have been told they are not welcome there by local Māori leaders. Tai Tokerau Border Control founder Hone Harawira has described the hīkoi as "a scam" organised by Pākehā anti-vaxxers. "There is no invitation from Waitangi Marae, no invitation from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, no invitation from Ngāti Kawa or Ngāti Rahiri, and no invitation from Ngāpuhi," the former Tai Tokerau MP said. The convoy of around 50 vehicles carrying about 100 people arrived at the Southern checkpoint border in Mercer just before midnight. Two protest vehicles, including a bus, remain parked on State Highway 1 in the northern lanes with the drivers refusing to move them. Traffic is being diverted around them and police are attempting to get the drivers to move them off the road. Police negotiators and iwi liaison officers were called in to help after some of the protesters "surged forward" on foot from Orams Rd blocking the southern lane of SH1, but when this failed a police line was used, a police media statement said. "The group was directed by police to a gravel area on Orams Rd, to move away from blocking the road and disrupting traffic travelling through the checkpoint." The group is trying to get to Waitangi in Northland where leader of the Outdoors Party and prominent anti-vaccine and anti-5G activist Sue Grey will be speaking. Grey flew to Kerikeri on a private plane yesterday and then travelled to Waitangi yesterday. Speaking on a Facebook livestream, Grey wanted to set the record straight and confirmed the Waitangi event was going ahead, but the "really, really bad news" was the hīkoi had been blocked at Auckland's southern border. Police had put a big truck across the road and laid down spikes, she said. However, this had been strongly denied by police. Grey said her co-leader Alan Simmons had told her that Hone Harawira seemed to have single-handedly convinced police that the event had been cancelled so a whole group of people were not being allowed through the checkpoint to attend. Grey, speaking on a second livestreamed video, said people stopped at Auckland's southern border were "pretty unhappy and frustrated" at the way they had been treated and urged people to go and support them. "It seems to me the people who need support are the people that are blocked at the border down in the south of Auckland wanting to come here that have been stopped. It would be helpful for people to give them some support because there are some pretty unhappy people there who are pretty frustrated with the way they've been treated and the information we have that it all came down to one person telling the police that everything is and that's why they weren't allowed to come through." She said it seemed so unfair that if you could afford to fly on a plane from Wellington you could get there, but there was no route for those who wanted to drive from level 2 into another level 2 area. Her advice to those who were being stopped was that it "if was good enough for police to block the people then it was good enough for the people to block the police", adding if the road was closed then it should be to everyone not j...

Police stopped fifty vehicles at Auckland's southern border last night as they they attempted to cross into the city unlawfully. The protestors are calling themselves a hikoi - and are wanting to travel from Rotorua to Waitangi. The convoy blocked the road at the southern checkpoint before police moved them onto a side road where they still are. We're now hearing there are also protesters at the Northern border trying to get into Northland. Te Tai Tokerau Border Control Spokesperson Hone Harawira wants nothing to do with them. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Northland Community leader Hone Harawira thinks "it's only a matter of time" before someone dies from Covid-19 in Te Tai Tokerau. 

Former Tai Tokerau MP and Tai Tokerau Border Control spokesperson Hone Harawira is worried a potential Covid-19 outbreak could be triggered by the arrival of around 50 yachts travelling to the Bay of Islands from Fiji ahead of the cyclone season. Under the current guidelines only New Zealand citizens or someone with relevant visas are allowed to enter Port Opua and are required to isolate for 14 days on board. Tai Tokerau Border Control leader Hone Harawira spoke to Susie Ferguson.

An iwi leader says it's about time there was a hard border between Auckland and Northland. Checkpoints on the border of the two changed last night, before lockdown rules ease in Te Tai Tokerau. Hone Harawira says those checkpoints should have been in full force from the moment of the country's move to alert level 4. He spoke to Corin Dann.

NZ Farmers are pushing back against bureaucratic Government and Local Council regulators (especially land grabs) due to no open communication, or open meetings and sharing of information and genuine consultation. Rob sees the farming sector throughout rural NZ being challenged like never before. Yes, there is water pollution, chemicals on the land, (huge stocking numbers - Corporate farms) and health issues that need to be continually addressed. However, what farmers have been experiencing though is escalating Governmental regulations, plus local Council intrusions into their lives by a hive of unknown bureaucrat regulators pushing an agenda, that in many ways is - one size fits all.  The United Nations Agenda21 and Agenda2030.  This adds to the recent GreenplanetFM.com - interview of Heather Meri Pennycook - where we cover many of the same issues - but worded differently, especially the expanding nation wide push back that continues to grow, via Groundswell, but with a very defined focus.    Yet, what's getting under the ‘farming sectors' skin is the extreme lack of face to face consultation and communication. especially the sharing of information at local gatherings, town hall meetings and villages. For the farmers it's just more paperwork, and compliance. Like the Emperors of the past exacting tribute from the peasants  and having an intermediary, the Governor collects taxes and that one follow ‘dictats' - without human contact and open discussions. This has resulted in the Groundswell uprising and farm tractors descending on villages, towns and cities across NZ with a follow up statement that this will occur again mid August if the Govt and local Councils do not front up. Yes, it's about the pace of change - on the back of climate change - increasing storms, encroaching sea levels and weather*events but it's being run by bureaucrats - who have no skin in the game - with  no financial risk involved making demands on a map somewhere. Plus, most bureaucrats have never been out in stormy cold weather - in the wind and the rain, helping cows calve or sheep stuck in a drain, or dealing with a flood, fallen trees etc etc. Yet it's about SNA's. What is an SNA? SNA stands for Significant Natural Area and they are becoming  important whichever way you look at them. Forest and Bird says they are "New Zealand's most important remnants of native habitat - places where rare or threatened plants or animals are still found". However  after the signing of the United Nations Rio' Agreement in 1992 - NZ committed to Agenda 21 and more lately, Agenda2030 - so as to impel environmental and ecological change by 2030. Hence the 'so-called' hurry'.   However the fine print and the detail is all hidden in plain sight.  Like the 17 United Nations sustainability development goals - they look and sound wonderful - we are going to eradicate poverty and have equality - have a sustainable future and look after our environment.   But, if you go to www.aag.org.nz  - and download the fine print of what that Agenda actually is - and it's a 352 page document - it virtually covers every aspect of our lives - healthcare, education  - and a stock take every single living being and resource and mineral on the planet - so that ‘they' can ‘stock take' everything thing - eventually right across our country - and more and more are saying - control it. https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/rosa-koire-agenda-2030-is-totalitarian-takeover/ From your reading you will see that the Agenda wants to eradicate that which is not sustainable - and that is - the private ownership of land. i.e. farming - private ownership of motor vehicles, roading, irrigation, ski fields, golf courses - even the family unit - in their eyes is listed as unsustainable. That this is something that ‘bureaucrats' want to eradicate. So once we read the fine print we become aware of where our Government is taking us, Be it National or Labour (Greens) - that due to no consultation that this ‘unconscious' legislation is crippling our agricultural sector - starts to make sense. That everyone has to do their own research - bypassing Google and using Duckduckgo.com because if you are not aware of what's in the fine print - and you learn this for the very first time - it will sound quite bazaar - so the imperative is for all NZers to see what is being planned for our future - and if you are a parent - your children's future. (and that you have been cut out of the dialogue with zero say). Note, that anyone who criticises the Govt narrative is deemed by the Govt as a ‘conspiracy theorist' - however when you read the fine print you realise that this is ‘not theory.' On the AAG.org.nz web site you can see the video for yourself of the NZ Prime Minister stating that this Labour Government is going to carry out all the contingencies of the Agenda2030. Plus the link to the UN Agenda document. Many NZ farmers, contrary to common belief, are not farming for the money - it's the lifestyle they love and they wish to hand their farm on to their children and future family generations. However certain contingencies within the UN Agenda2030 - make their plans basically unobtainable.  Now - this has never even been a serious discussion with NZ farmers.  This is a far ranging plan that in essence wants to do a full stock take on all biota within the biosphere and all inanimate things as well. For example, on the microcosm - a corporation completes an annual ‘stock take' of everything that corporation incorporates.  For example: Land - buildings, automobiles, trucks, bulldozers, (aeroplanes, ships) office equipment stationary, stock - be it live stock, (animals) and product (wheat, soy, maize - iron ore, oil, etc) and what monies they have in the bank, stocks, shares, gold, silver, bitcoin, IOU's, sureties etc. What the Agenda2030 does - is stocktaking of everything in every country so that countries assets are known by the bureaucrats in a UN building somewhere and they then command how a farm shall be run and governed on a planetary scale.  Yet, that bureaucrat may not know squat about farming and the culture - and especially the prevailing weather, climate etc of that particular farming region.  It is this macro managing from afar that is disturbing. Just have a look at how the WHO - the World Health Organisation acted over the last 18 months to see how their edicts are given out.        This is where Agenda21 is leading us. So that those ‘who make the decisions' can see what is happening on our whole planet at any time, but with a limited understanding of how farmers may live. To them they do not want to distinguish countries as such - but see just ‘trading blocks' - North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe etc. At this moment they are still piecing together how these so-called Trading blocks will fit. Or at least make it public. Though National Party Leader Jim Bolger signed the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Agenda2, it was John Key who signed Agenda2030 - so for the farmers of NZ - they have to realise that a huge percentage of them voted for the National political party run by these two Prime Ministers. - that in many ways is aiding and abetting the  silent, stealthy and hidden program that is being rolled out now. This is where there is a gigantic gap between the Agriculture Action Group and Groundswell - https://groundswellnz.co.nz/ have a huge chasm to cross. AAG.org.nz see the global clamp coming on fast whilst the Groundswell supporters basically think that getting rid of the Labour Party will save them. This is where they have been hoodwinked by National Party politicians not telling the truth or saying that the UN Agendas are conspiracy theories - when in fact - National are basically as donkey deep into the take over of NZ as Labour and the rest of the political apparatus. There were a number of National Political Party representatives in the crowd at the NZ wide Friday Groundswell event - who remained quiet, keeping their head down - because they do not want a discussion around Agenda21 or Agenda2030 - because then the farmers would become wise to the fact that Labour and National are just different wings of the same pterodactyl.   The Paris Climate Treaty was signed by National Party Ministers Paula Bennet and Simon Bridges at the end of 2015. The Zero Carbon Act was passed with unanimous support from National in 2019 which makes the legal changes required from the Paris Climate Treaty previously signed. So Groundswell farmers and rural people have to see that this change that is being enforced - is beyond NZ politics. Just 2  months ago, one of the largest protests seen in the Far North saw Māori converge on the Far North District Council offices, opposing the council's plans to declare large swathes of land as SNAs – significant natural areas. Māori saw it as a breach of their rights as landowners and were upset at a lack of consultation, but it wasn't just Māori who were part of the hīkoi. They were joined by significant numbers of Pākehā farmers and property owners, a fact veteran activist Hone Harawira remarked upon.   https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/civil-unrest/only-the-french-know-how-to-protest/ The Great Reset Now as an adjunct to the United Nations Agendas - we now have from - stage left the emergence of the World Economic Forum out of Davos, Switzerland. You will have read snippets and heard sound bites of the super rich and celebrities, flying there in private jets taking up runway parking space at the airport as they descend on their annual glittering conferences to engage in ‘how we are going to solve world problems.'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JB9-uL9o-w  - 4 IMPORTANT minutes  This is the showcase event of the likes of political figures, business leaders and cultural leaders …. under the heading of various vernacular like …Successful Global Corporate CEO and Entrepreneur or internationally acclaimed actor, fashion icon and mental health ambassador - all to win the younger unknowing, wannabes over etc.  Or Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders, and Social Entrepreneurs - Thought Leaders etc  - all among the Elite - rubbing shoulders - ‘being friendly'  do you remember when rock musicians like Bob Geldof and the lead singer from U2  and a stream of film stars hobnobbed at these type of events. Be it Tony Blair, Prince Charles, Leonardo Di Caprio, Bill Gates, go do a duckduckgo.com - search and watch the WEF videos - you will see them ‘conveniently' placed in the videos - to get your ‘buy in' and convince you that what frontman Klaus Schwab is doing - is going to be good for you, the rest of humanity and the planet as a whole.  But they never speak of one's heart, of love, of soul, spirit - it is a Godless organisation. Some would say that communists like it very much - specifically for that very reason.   This is very sophisticated propaganda - to swing the youth - especially in the tech, smart phone, chat world to ‘ready them to transition to a world that as the World Economic Forum stated and then quickly withdrew - that ‘by 2030 we will own nothing and we will be happy'.  NZer's across this country have to become very alert and savvy to this global marketing machine and 'thought adjuster' - as its agenda is total world control with a mandate from the United Nations.    Bood security is possibly the only single issue on which all New Zealanders can agree...and as you see the breakdown of supply chains around the world - especially America  it could very well create famine and unbeknown to most - food shortages are a significant part of the "Great Reset".   Strategy Going Forward. Wisdom is finding the weakest point in the global media strategy and focusing all available energy on …exposing the truth - that means , the many groups with grievances against this seemingly corrupt government would be wise to (1) shun attempts to "politicise" their issues and (2) put put some of their good activist energy into supporting the farmers.  Without a doubt, ALL issues confronting us are critical to our survival: 5G, the so-called "vaccine", climate (manipulated by geo-engineering), chemicals in food, water, soil etc.  This is hidden warfare, directed against US. Humans.   To win, we need everyone on board.   The Word Economic Forum have now silently made their move under cover of Covid - and are exposed and people are seeing their moves to use the lockdowns to take control of the world economy - They have all the world's great banks on board as well as all the world's media BBC, CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, ABC NBC, - all the way down to the AUSTRALIAN, TvOne and TV3 to a greater extent Radio NZ, Talkback etc   and the status Quo are now moving as fast as they can to capture us all before we wake up en-mass and see what they have planned for us. https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/timeline-great-reset-agenda-event-201-pandemic-2020/ Hence the importance of getting to farmers before they become co-opted by the National Party and be hoodwinked and sidelined to not see the real issue - losing NZ's sovereignty and their farms as well.  When we talk about an awakening happening across NZ people are realising that even though we thought we were free - that in actual fact - NZ is a Corporation of the City of London and though you may not beleive this - each person born here is a chattel of the City fo London and even migrants - they in return become a chattel too - see previous interview of Jacques Windell https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/jacques-windell-is-new-zealand-a-corporation-of-the-city-of-london   This is a taster - but you dear reader have to take this further.

Hone Harawira opens up about his time in parliament.

It's been an interesting week, hasn't it? But a bit of a bad week for the government on one of its core values.Of course, it's been a good week in the end, with the outbreaks which we were all concerned about. We maybe have got on top of that.But in terms of one of the core values of the government – transparency – I think it's been a bad week.Today, there's a story in the Herald on Sunday about WorkSafe having taken enforcement action against four hotels over physical distancing issues, training, donning and taking off PPE, and contractor management.WorkSafe having taken enforcement action in August.  However, it's only been made public now.How many months is that?Do the maths on that: five months later. It's only been made public now after repeated questions to WorkSafe from The Herald.Of course, problems are going to arise, but it seems that the transparency issue is still something the government and its agencies have yet to get to grips with.Let's not forget the Roche/Simpson report, which was a report looking at the government's handling of Covid and was a fairly brutal and blunt assessment of the health ministry's control of our response to Covid-19 leading up to the August outbreak.That report – delivered to the government in September – was only publicly released just before everyone went on break for Christmas!In my view that is one of the most egregious failures in their stated aim of everything being transparent. It's worth remembering because the government want you to forget it.Remember, this government campaigned on their response to Covid-19, and yet that key report which was critical of the government's response was kept from the public.Then there was last week. The two cases identified in Orewa.How did we find out?  Hone Harawira - on Heather Du Plessis-Allan's Drive Show on NewstalkZB.In response to a conversation around roadblocks, the reason Hone was following through with those was that he had on good authority - I think in his words – “multiple and impeccable sources” confirming two new positive cases in Orewa.I don't know when the Health Ministry were going to tell us. Was it because they were going to wait until they had had time to dress it all up and line all their ducks in a row, so it didn't look so bad?So, what exactly is the core value driving some of the decision-making of the government and the ministry?For me – it's all about the optics. It's all about how it looks, and it seems that the government doesn't trust us with information.It appears to me that the government and its agencies are more consumed with presenting information in a way that doesn't make them look bad.They're worried about our reaction to it – whether we're going to panic and so their claim of transparency is just words, words, words.And it's led to the situation the government found itself in the last few days with the Wiggles, having sold 40,000 tickets, magically being given last minute places in mandatory isolation.Look, you can imagine that's a lose-win-lose-win situation for the government because here we have 40,000 tickets sold; they entertain children; it's the kids - and the government could imagine themselves on a PR hiding to nothing if they had ended up having to cancel those concerts.But then you get the case of Trev Ponting. A Japan-based Kiwi with terminal brain cancer and all he wanted to do was get home to see his mother. But the initial application for emergency spots in managed isolation for him and his family were turned down. Well, there's another core value that they're missing as well, which is the kindness thing.Thankfully, it's been reversed. But you might wonder what would have happened if the media hadn't revealed that story as well as the news through Hone about the other positive Covid cases.It now starts to look like, maybe, if you're trying to appeal to the government to get a decision in your favour – don't appeal to kindness, don't appeal to their hearts or to...

In the end, Hone Harawira did set up his checkpoints up North and it led to police, after some hours, turning up and shutting the thing down. Now, I want to be clear.  I don't endorse checkpoints where anyone stops a vehicle against the law, and I think police have made a massive rod for their own backs by tolerating these checkpoints at the start.  But, if you heard this show last night, you might well have a bit of sympathy for why Hone Harawira wants to set these checkpoints up and why he might not feel the authorities are being completely straight up. At five o'clock when he told us on the show that there were two positive cases in Auckland he'd already known, he said, for three or four hours. We called the Ministry of Health and you know what they told us?  They told us something along the lines of ‘we're sticking with our one o'clock statement from Ashley Bloomfield'. I mean that is a cut and dry case of the Health Ministry actively withholding information from us and probably wanting to save it for another 20 hours until the next o'clock Pulpit of Truth briefing.  And when that kind of stuff is happening, it's hard to tell Hone to trust the authorities. And let me remind you why these checkpoints sprung up in the first place.  The very first interview that we ever had on this show about those checkpoints was with Hone Harawira who had set them up because we were in level 4 lockdown or going into it.The government had told Aucklanders to stay in place and not go the bach, and Auckalnders got in their cars and went to the bach and the cops did nothing to stop it. So Hone tried to stop it. So while I don't condone these checkpoints, I understand that Hone Harawira is only setting them up to do the work he thinks the authorities should be doing. So instead of having a go at him right now for trying to do this, perhaps we should be asking the Ministry of Health and the police and everyone else in charge why they don't just do their jobs properly instead of giving him reasons to want to it for them.
