Auckland restaurant owner hospitalised after altercation with customer wanting refund

An Auckland restaurant owner is in hospital with serious injuries after an altercation with one of his customers on Thursday night.

The aggravated assault is believed to be over the customer wanting a small amount of cash back for the food he ordered.

It's normally open seven days a week, but on Friday, the Satay Noodle House was closed indefinitely.

It's understood a male customer demanded his money back and grabbed a handful of cash from the till before walking out to his parked car.

The Mayor of the Thames-Coromandel District says she is "appalled" at racist and Islamophobic graffiti labelled "intimidating and frightening" by the Race Relations Commissioner.

Newshub has chosen not to repeat the slurs, which appear to be aimed at the Indian and Islamic communities.

"It's not graffiti - it's not art, it's tagging.

"[The people responsible] are a bunch of toe rags...if they're caught they need to experience the full extent of the law."

Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon told Newshub he is "extremely concerned" about the tagging.

Racism 'well and alive' in New Zealand - Race Relations Commissioner

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-...-new-zealand-race-relations-commissioner.html

The Queenstown Islamic Centre, which opened earlier this month, had anti-Muslim posters plastered over it this week, and Māori immersion school Te Wharekura o Arowhenua in Invercargill had a racist slur painted on its welcome sign this week.

He said an example needed to be made of people who committed such acts.

"We are very supportive of separate hate crime legislation and we hope the government puts that through quickly in the new year," he said.

"We are pleased police are collecting hate crime data now as well so that will strengthen the punishments for the people that continue to spread messages of hate."

He said racism was deliberate.

"There is an inherent hatred among people that are racist and I think it's a disease, that it can be brought out of people. However, some people are entrenched in their hatred and it's difficult to curb their behavior."

Māori Language Commissioner Professor Rawinia Higgins said targeting schoolchildren was a new low.

"This is what hatred looks like. It's not overseas, it's right here in our communities and it's targeting our children, our language and our identity."

The mosque did not want to discuss the incident with media while police were investigating, but Southland Mosque Imam Reza Abdul-Jabbar said Queenstown was a melting pot of cultures so the local mosque had been left a little shaken by the incident.

"It's sad given everything that's happened, the royal commission [into the Christchurch terror attack] and inquiries that have taken place that things like this are still taking place," he said.

A justice process that has little consideration for victims

"If you've got an offender who has stolen and abused and taken for granted this one victim in particular, and they get three weeks - what sort of deterrent is that? What sort of justice is that or accountability is that for the offender? It's a laughing stock."

He says the decision reflects the "offender-centric" nature of the entire justice system.

"It's all about the offender's past, all about the offender rehabilitation, all about the offender's criminal history or cultural history or how it's going to affect the offender, everything is about the offender and how it's going to impact the offender, and there is very little - if any - concentration or focus on the victims of crime."

According to his criminal and traffic history, Collier has had multiple issues with the law before.

Collier fatally struck cyclist Ben Den Ouden in Napier while operating a truck he was driving for work on April 21 2017. He had been driving trucks for 22 years when he killed Den Ouden who had only recently returned to New Zealand after finishing a Masters degree in religious anthropology in the Netherlands. He had been planning to become a teacher when he died.

Collier was convicted and sentenced for careless or inconsiderate vehicle operation causing death in May, 2018, and was ordered to pay $1500 in reparation but was not disqualified from driving.

A whitewash of the police and intelligence agencies

Omar said questions were raised about those failings at the Christchurch hui but answers were not forthcoming, and he doubts they ever will be.

Rashid Omar, who lost his son Tariq at Al Noor Mosque, believed it was just a box-ticking exercise.

"I think the government's already decided what they want to do.

"And it's just a matter of going through the motion, of telling us what they want to do," Omar said, echoing reservations heard by RNZ from other sources.

There was also concern among those who might go along that the hui had not been designed with Muslim community input; also, that the meetings will put another load on volunteer community leaders, and will follow a pattern prior to the 15 March attacks, when Muslims made multiple efforts to get civil servants to take far-right threats seriously, but got nowhere, as has been well documented.

Police arrested two people in Christchurch and charged one of them after an online threat to Linwood Islamic Centre and Al Noor Mosque.

The arrests come less than two weeks out from the second anniversary of the terror attacks at the mosques in which 51 people were killed.

Price said one of those arrested had already been released and a 27-year-old man has been charged with threatening to kill.

As a result of the threat made and the context, both mosques were searched "pretty shortly afterwards".

What was found during the search cannot be released at this stage, police said.

The 27-year-old man is due to appear in Christchurch District Court on 5 March.

Police said they were not in a position to details on the nature of the threat as it was before the courts now.

Muslim leader slams Government's Christchurch terror response as a 'joke'

Minister Andrew Little says the royal commission found no one was at fault, so he wouldn't be looking to have anyone fired.

"As a Government minister I've got to follow the findings of the royal commission - I don't have the right to make my own findings up. What we're doing is consistent with the royal commission's findings."

Danzeisen called his response a "joke", because the royal commission wasn't allowed to point the finger at anyone.

"For the Government to say they've been exonerated or they didn't fail is a joke... They need to stop that and start acting."

Earlier this month new threats against the two mosques targeted in 2019 were found by a member of the public. They were made on 4chan, a site used by the Christchurch gunman before carrying out his atrocity.

Questions have been asked how a member of the public found the threats before our spy agencies did.

Hatred lives in New Zealand

What a cover-up - https://thespinoff.co.nz/news/16-03-2019/hatred-lives-in-new-zealand/
" Police in our country do not record hate crimes. So when mosques or synagogues are attacked and defiled, those attacks are filed as property damage. For years we at the Human Rights Commission argued that they should be recorded as hate crimes so that we could measure and understand the scale of the threat. We argued that this is how we monitor the rise of extremism. But the answer from the government, as well as many hard right libertarians, was no."

Christchurch mosque threats: Man tries to keep name secret

A man accused of threatening to attack two Christchurch mosques on the second anniversary of the city's terror attack is battling to keep his name secret.

The 27-year-old is accused of posting threats - to target Masjid An-Nur and the Linwood Islamic Centre using car bombs - on online forum 4chan on 28 February.

The two mosques were the target of the 15 March 2019 terror attack, which left 51 Muslim worshippers dead and many more injured and distraught.

The NZ Human Rights Commission is a JOKE

National leader Judith Collins wants Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt sacked over a donation made to the Mongrel Mob.

The Human Rights Commission (HRC) donated $200 to the Mongrel Mob as koha - a customary Māori gift - when Hunt visited the Waikato gang pad in May, according to figures obtained under the Official Information Act by Newstalk ZB.

Collins has described the donation as an "incredible lapse of judgement" and believes Hunt has lost credibility to continue in the role as Human Rights Commissioner.

"That Mr Hunt and HRC staff thought it was appropriate to donate to one of New Zealand's largest gangs - who were recently involved in an international gang drug bust resulting in arrests - calls into question their judgement and raises questions as to the priorities of the Commission," Collins said on Monday.

"We will see Labour and supporters excusing this and no doubt they will attempt to tie this to race. New Zealanders are sick of that narrative being trotted out to excuse poor decision making by this Government and its agencies.

Collins said it sends "all the wrong messages" and says Hunt must go whether by his own resignation or the sack.

ACT leader David Seymour is also outraged about the donation and is renewing his call for the HRC to be abolished.

"The revelation that Paul Hunt gave money to a criminal organisation is further evidence that the Human Rights Commission must be abolished", he said on Monday.

"It has been undermining free speech, cuddling criminals, pushing for more redistribution, and peddling countless woke issues. Time to shut it down.

"The commission has become a highly-politicised, left-wing organisation, and when it comes to actually helping people with human rights, it doesn't help at all. ACT sees no purpose for it and would abolish it completely."

Seymour called for the HRC's end in October last year after it published its manifesto, which included calls for changes to hate speech law, fair pay agreements, and an increase to benefit levels - all Labour policies.

The HRC, which operates as a Crown entity independent from direction by Cabinet, declined to respond to Seymour's remarks at the time.

Seymour says if Hunt wants to be a politician, he should try to get elected.
