Is Pita Sharples a visitor from another planet?
What planet is Pita Sharples living on?
Last week we had him supporting Hone Harawira’s prejudices, now the NZ Herald is reporting him as seeking to save a gang pad and secure sanction from the council for illegal structures because it is some kind of cultural/spiritual centre.
Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples has lent his support to save a Black Power stronghold from being demolished because the gang pad caters for the “spiritual and cultural needs” of Maori.
The MP wrote to the Auckland City Council asking staff to ignore illegal structures on the Mt Wellington property – which was the hub of a $1.5 million cannabis ring – and to grant a waiver for breaches of the district plan.
The Black Power headquarters was seized and sold under the Proceeds of Crime Act to a new owner, who was in negotiations to sell the property to a trust connected to Dr Sharples’ Tamaki Makarau electorate manager.
It appears the sale negotiations have not proceeded, so why should the law not be enforced and the illegal structures demolished?
Much of the gang problem we have in NZ, is due IMHO, to a failure to deal with these criminals years ago, so now they have a pernicious hold on parts of our society.
