Burn down Bro Town

Pacific migrants 'drain on economy'
Pacific Islanders' crime rates, poor education and low employment are creating an underclass and a drain on the economy, a study says. Economist Greg Clydesdale, of Massey University's management and international business department, warns that Polynesians display "significant and enduring under-achievement" - a problem immigration is making worse. However, community leaders and Pacific Island Affairs Minister Winnie Laban strongly reject the underclass claims and condemn the study as "lazy and unprofessional". The document, part of a three year-study called Growing Pains, Evaluations and the Cost of Human Capital, is based on government data from the Economic Development Ministry, Labour Department and Pacific Island Affairs Ministry. It includes a study of the effects of all immigrants on the economy and will be presented at a conference in Brazil in July. Issued last week, the document says Polynesians are less productive and less likely to contribute to economic growth. They have the highest unemployment in every age group, are less likely to start businesses and have lower rates of self-employment. Polynesians are over-represented in crime statistics and have higher rates of convictions and prosecutions. They are also more likely to be victims of violent crime. They are more likely to need Government assistance for housing and income. "Of particular concern is the large Polynesian subculture whose educational achievements mean they will contribute very poorly in this regard," Dr Clydesdale says. "And because of high fertility and current immigration levels, New Zealand will have a significant population that can contribute little to economic growth." Dr Clydesdale also claims Pacific Island children show low achievement in literacy on entering school and perform poorly throughout their education.

Jesus mate, what do you really mean, I feel you are holding back. Yes there are problems in the PI community, we have known that for a very long time but there have been piss all investment into those communities just as there has been piss all investment in Maori or in fact any poor community. Look at the unholy alliance Len Brown has with some PI ‘leaders’ who were given $400 000 to build community recording studios which have been hijacked by their Church members and certainly are not free, and have more to do with building their religious empires than building communities, so the little that does get to them always gets sucked up by the bloody church! This report should be used as a wake up call that these communities need investment, what it will actually be used for is the Talkback lynch mob who will howl that we need a cleansing to burn down bro town and drive them out of the country.

Neat.
