Assault on Chinese schoolboy on Pakuranga bus.
First of all, I wish the the boy a speedy recovery from this ghastly and traumatising assault on him. However, the mental scarring will take much longer .
What gives someone the right to attack another person who is of a different ethnicity ?
The attack was premeditated as the attacker boarded the bus with a long steel rod . The apathy shown by fellow passengers, apart from one, is a sad reflection of what is becoming the norm in NZ ; the acceptance of random acts of violence . People walking out of supermarkets with trolley loads of ‘free ‘ goods , ram raids, attacks on shop owners are far too common, as are racial attacks.
The answer may lie in a more caring and friendly attitude towards our fellow human beings. NZ once had this, in days gone by . It’s not too late ..

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
