COMPLAINT TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION IN REGARD TO THE RACE RELATIONS COMMISSIONER MR MENG FOON — CORRESPONDENCE – Kerry Bolton
Following is a complaint addressed to the Human Rights Commission in regard to the Race Relations commissioner Mr Meng Foon, and the reply from the commission. It concerns the brouhaha misrepresented by the news media and other parties in regard to a council meeting in February, where it was alleged that a Maori haka party was subjected to racial abuse by Kapiti residents. If this now seems belated news, it is because the Human Rights Commission took over half a year to reply, after two complaints to the Ombudsman’s office in July and October. My complaint is primarily that Mr Meng Foon went hastily with His Worship K. Gurunathan to “apologize” for the supposed racial abuse the students encountered, without attempting to ascertain the legitimacy or context of the allegations.
I also wanted to draw attention to the bigoted, inflammatory and threatening material published by an Otaki artist, which apparently does not fall within the jursidiction of the HRC. This gentleman bizarrely claimed that a ‘far right group’ had attended the council meeting and perpetrated the alleged ‘racial abuse.’ There was much bravado by this chap and sundry others about how they would physically assault these supposed ‘child abusers’. (In the case of Beach Radio FM the supposed victims became “little children doing a poi dance”).
My response had originally been to contact the police and ask the community constable to arrange a meeting between this individual and myself, but the police could not be bothered. The Human Rights Commission has offered to arrange such a meeting. However, I doubt that he is the type with whom one can reason; he was quick to make very silly claims, with the backing of the Maori Party MPs, who likewise knew absolutely nothing of the matter other than seeing it as an opportunity to mouth-off.
Nonetheless, if there are those who still feel aggrieved by these calls for violence, who would be interested in meeting with this chap to try and explain the actual situation, I would be willing to participate......
