Shane Jones On Homelessness

You gave me a big van, I'd start clearing them out at 8 o'clock tonight. Simon Bridges nodding along. I'm going to read it to you again. I do not subscribe to the notion put about by the Salvation Army. You know, when you're thinking about people, I mean, forget their religious aspect. I know that won't jive with a lot of people, but people who work with vulnerable people in the streets. Salvation Army for many would be quite near the top of knowing their shit. I do not subscribe to the notion put out by the Salvation Army that clearing our roads and streets of vagrants. So. like moving on homeless people and rough sleepers is somehow worsening those people is harmful to those people i do not agree this is what james is saying i don't agree with what the salvation army is saying is moving on homeless people is bad for them right that's literally what that says um uh i resent seeing these people blighting our streets intimidating our people and then telling me they are the victim if you gave me a big van I'd clear them out tonight after this after I read that for the first time this afternoon I tweeted please please please someone take Mr Jones a big van because let's call as what we're saying before about karen let's call these right-wing tough men on their absolute hypocrisy snowflake bullshit like he would do anything but he's in front of an audience uh that's the the business whatever of auckland the auckland business chamber of twats or whatever they're called um and so like it's like yeah there's a friendly audience you know you're you're pitching you're speaking to the choir is what it's called singing to the choir because they want to hear you speaking badly about the homeless people that might be in the neighbourhoods where their shops are. And I don't know, this is, I find this kind of more disgusting than the great replacement theory that he went on the other day because this is about actual real people that we can actually see in our streets that he's basically saying, your fault, homeless person, your fault, you're not a victim. Your fault. That's what he's saying. Chewie.
