She was heading into the Esplanade restaurant and I was waiting outside as a 2nd class customer for my coffee.
So she got an earful. And a finger a few seconds later after she’d sat down.
I also told her security detail that their masks were doing them harm. About a minute later as I walked away someone who looked part of her detail (he didn’t identify himself) asked me to have a chat with him to which I said no.
I then took the dog for a walk as it looked like I’d get hassled if I didn’t.
She looked chastened. Hopefully she was.
Resign Jacinda.
More later.
About 5 minutes after my rejoinder.
Prostrated version.
Rich I think you may be amused by this post. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message5075297/pg1?c1=1&c2=1&disclaimer=Continue

To: Disability Rights Commission From: Emanuel E. Garcia, M.D. Date: 31 March 2022
Introduction
My name is Emanuel Ernest Garcia. I received my Doctor of Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia in 1986, the same year in which I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. In 1993 I was Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and I continued the practice of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychiatry in Philadelphia until 2006.
In 2006 I emigrated to New Zealand and took up a position as a Consultant Psychiatrist with the Hutt Valley DHB. Soon thereafter I was appointed Clinical Director of Mental Health Services. I count among my most important accomplishments the extreme reduction of seclusion for psychiatric inpatients. Afterwards I directed my energies as a Consultant Psychiatrist in the Community where I pioneered psychiatric liaison with Primary Care, thus reducing stigma and enhancing accessibility of psychiatric services to underserved patients. In October 2021 I retired from CCDHB, into which HVDHB had been merged. No patient has ever initiated any complaint against me during my entire career.
In 2021 I severed my connection with the Medical Council of New Zealand because I believe that they have betrayed their duty to the public by encouraging policies that are counter to the ethical and professional standards of good medical practice. This organisation has attempted to intimidate and silence physicians who have provided informed consent to patients and who raised legitimate scientific and therapeutic matters for discussion. They have, in brief, undermined the doctor-patient relationship and attempted to impose dictatorial directives in violation of the right to freedom of expression, which includes the freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds.
