A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Opinion

I agree with Reg Hart (April 4 letter). Why the double standards? If I publicly accused males of any race of causing violence I would be labelled a racist, humiliated and no doubt be dragged through the courts. I’m not in any political party but Marama Davidson is which makes it a lot worse. And I bet Meng Foon wouldn’t miss an opportunity to front up on TV then.
