Rotorua Daily Post 23/7/19 WHAT A WASTE I see $2.4 million is to be spent on Kaingaroa Village (News. July 12). At the end of the New Zealand Forest Service days this nice, neat. well-looked-after village was given to the locals to live in. Apart from a few locals who have looked after their homes and tried to keep it neat the rest of the village was wrecked. Houses and other buildings were vandalised or burnt down, the golf dub burnt down. single men's camp —which would have made a great school camp or hunting fishing lodge — wrecked. I lived in the village in the 1960s and it was a nice place. What a waste. CHRISS TAYLOR Rotorua Dominion Post 23/7/19 CONSIDER CONTRACEPTION I read the article (‘Systemic racism’ in child protection, July 20) about (mainly) Maori children being ‘‘taken into care’’, and listened to Tariana Turia on Q+A recently, and all I felt was grief. And I have no doubt that Oranga Tamariki, that most vilified organisation, grieves at what it thinks it has to do. The problem seems hopeless. Always the same cry, ‘‘We need help!’’ More and more babies being born into situations of great need. And that seems to suggest something that I think maybe is being overlooked. Contraception.
