New programme on TV2, Vegas. Stereotypi­ng of Ma¯ori funded by NZ On Air. There is enough Ma¯ori-bashing as it is without using taxpayer money to perpetuate negative views of Ma¯ori. Shame on you TVNZ.

These new distractio­ns along Pioneer Highway are amajor hazard. During the first 2 days of their placement, there were at least 5 known car crashes. Before long, a cyclist or pedestrian will be injured or killed.
