social isolation- loneliness

Mapuna from Te Aroha

in response to louise rees, this has gotto be the loneliest winter of my life The 'Dogs in the Manger' have come back... why should that Maori woman have that land doing nothing. I want it to develop, but first get rid of her. The stress related stroke caused by a cooked up eviction process didnt kill me. I get stronger every day, and the fight is on.
Good to go says the legals. Inhumane racist corporate bullies. The Public Trust is as badly named as is Oranga Tamariki! Perceptions will persist but my bank statements show regular rates arrears payments despite the note to MPDC from PT not to accept them?? Just so you all know neighbours. Modern day land grabs from rates arrears happen at MPDC.
Tell all your friends- do not make a will with the Public Trust Theirs is for profit not people. Shutting me down to shut me up has not worked. I am aware of who the knobs are behind it all. Now there are signs erected by the land agent. 12 weeks it was my home of 25 years.Now I am homeless but staying with whanau in the meantime. But there is a penalty for aroha and whanaunga tanga What ever is wellbeing?
Not loneliness
homelessness for starters?
