Allegation
The likelihood of increased violence in Auckland was dis cussed by an Auckland City council committee in September.
The council’s Senior Community Adviser, Mr P. K. Harwood, said, “We are heading for a violent time in Auckland if things continue the way they are going.”
His comments were made when the committee was dis cussing allegations that the police task force was discriminating against Islanders and New Zea land Maoris. Mr Harwood’s statement followed another he made on August 29 on Pacific Islanders and drink. He main tained that experience through advice bureaux and social ser vices involved in the treatment of alcoholism showed that Pacific Islanders had fewer drink prob lems than the general population.
