I've obviously hit some raw nerves with reference to the Mosque shootings.

But you'd have to be naive if you can't see beyond all the outpouring of sorrow, sympathy etc.

Events seem to have quickly been hijacked, by not only political Leaders like Ardern, but also activists and various Gangs in NZ. They have their own agendas.

They're all on the bandwagon and are using this tragic event as a platform for their own ideals.

Only a few weeks back the ‘talk of the town' was Capital Gains Tax and the Housing debacle.

The whole event has become something of a ‘smoke screen' for the other incompancies of this current Govt.

And what does the famous Winston say all about this. I seem to recollect that he was always anti- immigration?

As I said in my last letter, the shootings were a tragedy, carried out a nut case, dumb enough to have been spurred on and encouraged by other idiots who have exploited the world- wide communication systems for their own misguided ideologies.

In reply to R. Tomson's comment, yes, I have visited Muslim countries of the world, even paying military homage to their dead (Indonesian Confrontation),

I've experienced their culture and seen how they live and what their values are. They are different to ours.

As for V.Quinn of Marua, you patronise me when you say ‘Poor P. Kelly, maybe move back to the Motherland'. What sort of Racist comment is that?

I have a deep attachment to the country of my birth and have lost plenty of blood sweat and tears for it, I would say probably more than most.

I am a very proud Kiwi.

In reply to A Stanley of Ohauiti, he compares me to the Australian Politician Fraser Anning. I've listened to some of Fraser Anning's comments. I don't regard him as a racist and it's only because he says it how it is and some people misconstrue and misinterpret
