Dear Ed, (‘Sent to the NZ Herald 30/5/18)
This question was asked by your correspondence Ray Gilbert (letters 30/5)
The surest road to poverty is uncontrolled breeding and it is hard to understand in an age where proven, safe, reversible contraception is available to both sexes. The most logical would seem to be long term implants.
The real answer of course is that the Maori hierarchy actually encourages excessive breeding and our social welfare organisations do nothing to discourage such practices.
One would have thought that a responsible welfare system would encourage their young clients to take advantage of what is available.
Paying a mother with a brood of more than two to have an implant would surely be more cost effective than watching her go on to have six, seven or more children.
Who don’t they proffer such advice? Maybe it is patch protection?

It’s a topsy-turvey world. Those wanting equality without racial discrimination are labelled right wing by Lizzie Marvelly (26/5/18). Meanwhile, she holds up apartheid-politics as something to aspire to. Tell that to all the brave souls who campaigned against South Africa’s legal racism or fought the Nazis in WWII.
The emperor is certainly wearing no clothes when she describes her own ethnicity as Maori – despite her dominant ethnicity, her upbringing, her life. But she’s in the process of converting, so that’s OK. Ethnicity is a choice in New Zealand, just as religion is. But please, Lizzie, don’t suggest that it’s OK to rewrite our laws and political structure to suit such personal preferences.
