Sure, no one likes a snitch but for God's sake, these selfish idiots are putting our whole way of life at risk for the sake of their own pleasure. It's unbelievable.

Desperate times often call for desperate measures and this callous disregard for the welfare of fellow Kiwi's is making my skin crawl.
