CHECKPOINTS WAY TO CREATE UNNECESSARY ENEMIESCrown Māori Relations Minister Kelvin Davis and Te Tai Tokerau MP isn’t impressed with efforts by his predecessor to barricade their home town from Covid-19. Mana Movement leader Hone Harawira says backpackers and tourists are rolling into the Kaitaia Pak'nSave without protective face masks and without self-isolating for 14 days. He’s organising checkpoints north of Whangarei and Dargaville to quiz travellers and turn back any tourists. Mr Davis says he’s being alarmist, and the government has matters in hand with its elevation of the threat level..... www.waateanews.com/waateanews/x_story_id/MjM5MDY=/Checkpoints-way-to-create-unnecessary-enemies HARAWIRA MILITIAS NOT NEEDED FOR LOCKDOWN ENFORCEMENT Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters says unofficial tribal militia throwing up checkpoints are more likely to hinder than help the Covid-19 response. Hapū and iwi on the East Coast are organising such road-blocks, and former MP Hone Harawira is trying to arrange checkpoints on roads into the far north. Mr Peters says the government doesn’t need Mr Harawira to ring-fence Kaitaia Winston Peters says it’s up to the authorities to make sure essential supplies can get through and enforce the end of no-essential travel....... www.waateanews.com/waateanews/x_story_id/MjM5MTU=/Harawira-militias-not-needed-for-lockdown-enforcement
