Cactus Kate falls down a hole

Cactus Kate gets predictably incensed with a hapu chairman who wants to tax all residents within the Ngapuhi region to support Ngaupuhi economic development.
Some old idiot with a European name who needs to be put in a rest home states:

Matarahurahu hapu chairman D***d R****n said the proposed flat tax rate, which would be administered by the Inland Revenue Department, would "pull Ngapuhi out of a depressed state" and ultimately benefit the entire region.

He wants a NINE percent tax for "economic development".
Cactus Kate

I can see her sitting in her apartment in her PJ's, shouting into her MacBook Pro and banging away a terse blog post. Given that the colleagues of the hapu chairman don't think much of his plan, she is probably getting incensed for nothing.

However, there had also been "one or two" members of the Ngapuhi Runanga, who administer the claim, who expressed their strong opposition and threatened to bar Mr Rankin from speaking at Waitangi Tribunal hearings.

These kind of ideas and people don't deserve anymore air time than necessary which is why I have starred out his name. All Cactus has done is to increase his Google power.
