Treaty Principals Bill

[Lilith7]

A sugar tax isn't going to happen. It is too complicated a task to draft legislation to apply it, like taking gst off certain items.

The only race based policies we have, like age based and gender based ones, are there to balance inequities that exisit. What you are asking for is to maintain those inequities which actually benefit others at the expense of minorities. If we treat everyone as humans, with no differentiation then children, old people, disabled people, non male genders, and ethnicities will also lose those protections and policies that make their lives safer and easier.

Instead , why can't we be grateful for the blessings we enjoy as individuals, and stop scrutinising the blessings others get for also being individuals, and understand that we are not all the same and our life challenges are different?

Why?  Because dogs are right, & humans really are nuts...


I think its just an unfortunate part of human nature to question what looks as though someone else may be getting more, or better than, what we might be getting. Probably better education may eventually help with that, pointing out the reasons for something someone else gets  which we do not; it seems slightly immature really to moan because someone e;se in need may get slightly more, or slightly different.
