Hopelessness and despair: Why New Zealand is so UNSAFE for women, kids, foreigners…

Heavily Censored Police Road Fatality Reports:

• NO vehicle-related fatality report allowed by police today, as of posting, despite at least 14 serious crashes that have been reported locally.

• UPDATE – April 17 – reports of two road fatalities have since been withdrawn, or they have magically disappeared by themselves. [What are the chances of going with no road fatalities over 88 hours in April? About one in three million?]

• Based on insider information, statistical models and local news, We believe about 900 people were killed and 8,000 others seriously injured on NZ suicide roads in 2016; However, only 328 fatalities reported, last year.
• To protect the tourist industry and massive foreign investment, about two out of every three road fatalities go unreported, or the dead are statistically resurrected by NZ government.
• 32 Foreigners killed in New Zealand in 32 days [Posted on January 25, 2017]
• Police told to keep their mouths shut about overseas licence holders
• Don’t reveal crash driver’s ethnicity, police told.

Blaming high rates of teen suicide on TV programmes, in a country where hopelessness and despair drive young men to steal cigarettes at  gunpoint!

Teen suicide show reveals ‘gap in the law’ – Grim Censor

The Deputy Chief Censor [“Grim Censor”] is again calling for a law change to prevent “controversial programmes” being viewed online in our nanny state without being given a New Zealand rating first, said a report.

“Jared Mullen’s call comes as a Netflix series called 13 Reasons Why, depicting teen suicide and rape, has divided opinion on whether it should be allowed.

“The Mental Health Foundation has described the programme as irresponsible, unsafe and unethical, but teachers and young people said the programme was resonating with its target audience.”

 

WTF: It’s illegal to talk about suicide in New Zealand

Foreword: It’s illegal to talk about suicide in New Zealand, allegedly to prevent copycats. It’s also illegal, or effectively illegal through censorship, to complain about government, judiciary and police corruption, or discuss racism, poverty and social injustice…  to prevent copycats, or for other equally important reasons, of course!

UK grief counsellor and social worker of 25 years loses her own son to apparent suicide

Believe or not, it’s illegal to talk about suicide in Godzone. Apparently, criminal laws govern what we can and can’t say about suicide, or even suspected suicide.

UK mother Catherine Hanson-Friend lost her only son, Patrick, 15, to apparent suicide.

The Invercargill teen is one of at least four Southlanders whose deaths are suspected suicides in the last 10 weeks.

Joining the queue at Work and Income

“Go see Work and Income,” said Prime Minister John Key, advising the homeless and unfortunate. We did.

One morning at a Christchurch Work and Income office: “The scene is unpleasant. It also feels discriminatory and, at the very least, rude.”

“I just hate going in there, it’s so demeaning. I don’t want to be in this position, I never imagined I would be. I have no choice but to ask them for help since my partner died. I’m bringing up our children on my own. It is what it is.”

The State’s other Stinking Secrets

Truth hurts New Zealand tourism. The average tourist would not visit this country, if they knew true extent of the daily carnage on our deadly roads. Therefore:

To protect the tourism industry, about two-thirds of the road fatalities in New Zealand go unreported by our political police, or unrecorded by Minitru [“Ministry of Transport”.]

About 2.7 million licensed but not necessary qualified drivers, half million or so unlicensed/unqualified drivers and more than one million tourists (per year) drive on New Zealand death roads.

A large number of the above drive a vehicle under the influence (illicit drugs, banned substances, prescription medication…), while intoxicated, fatigued or mentally unfit, resulting in inordinate numbers of fatalities and injuries. [Other factors for the carnage include deadly roads, road unworthy vehicles…]

Between 2001 and 2014, New Zealand’s vehicle fleet reportedly increased by 32 per cent, while the population grew by 16 per cent and foreign travel was up by 15 per cent.  And over the last 10 years the number of international visitors has increased by about 30 per cent.

Today is DAY 155 of the latest NZ TOURISTS or truth? (police censorship of road fatalities) campaign

• Blog estimate: About 900 people are killed on NZ roads each year. [Most probably] up to 350 road fatalities have occurred in NZ since 1 January 2016

How do they do it?

Police manipulate the road toll by censoring reports of fatal crashes, while the Ministry of Transport simply delete the unwanted road fatalities, even from their published records.
