Our local MP Todd McClay, who was on National Radio seven weeks ago demanding that our border be reopened for isolation free travel changed his tune and is now saying New Zealanders are not welcome in our city.
One shining light was seeing a lady with a bunch of bright yellow balloons and a sign on the Lake end of Tutanekai St within view of the Ibis hotel - welcoming a family member home.
This is the Rotorua I thought we were - not one that would rather we build a wall. (Abridged)

Pike River promise
We must make the Government keep its promise about Pike River, we owe it to the families to recover the bodies of their loved ones.
Whatever the cost it is a promise New Zealand made to the families and we, the people of this lovely country must make our Government listen.
We must make it an election issue. (Abridged)
