Te Ururoa Flavell Press Release
"It is not my place to comment on matters before the Court, but as Electorate MP for this region, I was alarmed to hear that children on the way to school had been upset by the police armed roadblock in Ruatoki" said Flavell.

"One of the suspects was greatly distressed to have been arrested in front of his mokopuna" said Flavell. "How do whanau taking their children to kura or kohanga reo, explain to them the presence of the armed defenders squad?"

He then goes on to blame the Terrorism Suppression Act:

"The whole context around the Terrorism Suppression Act is highly charged for Maori" said Flavell. "When the Act came in to law in 2002, Maori predicted it was only a matter of time before it was used against them and so it is inevitable that these concerns have arisen this morning given that this is the first time that the Terrorism Suppression Act has been applied".

Yep, well the fact that it was used against people who are Maori, does not mean it was used against Maori.

Isn't this typical of the Brown Supremacy Party; My Race Right or Wrong!
