New Plymouth: New Zealand's city of amazing free activities. Yea right:
This mornings Daily News head-- line is so typical of what I am always on about. "FREE", the reporter is either that naïve that she walks around with blinkers on, listening to all the spin doctored chatter at the Purple Palace head quarters! Or maybe she is the new breed that believes in myths and Fairy tales . These facilities cost the individual district's rate payers millions and millions of hard earned, tax paid plus GST, dollars.
Can she please rewrite this fairy tale without blinkered or Spin Doctored, using her own, independent looking eyes. Just imagine if she can, if that money being paid to those "FREE" facilities; that border on Fraudulent how they were obtained, was either left where it belonged legally, the rate payer pocket, or was only used for the core facilities that the NZ Local Govt Act states. It beggars belief that the local Daily Rag even printed it, little alone gave it front page. This is the biases dribble that the public are being forced to read, and to be taken as truth! Fake News!!!!!! think a bit about what Im saying please!
