How embarrassing.
Key made statements today that MSD worked alongside the Salvation Army visiting homeless in an Auckland park when in fact nothing of the sort occurred.
Worse IMHO is the description of [government?] "flying squads" which I'm certain don't sound at all threatening to disenfranchised people who have been mercilessly kicked in the teeth by multiple government agencies before finally coming to rest in their car.
Already we are seeing the homeless being portrayed as victims who can't manage their own affairs. When you can't blame the City Council anymore, blame the victim. Ugh.
