It was written that way to give you the impression that it was a race issue.

While slipping in her real issue,which was that it's a franchise that poses a danger to small businesses in the area (which is a legitimate concern,if the franchise runs at a loss to run others out of business,then jacks the prices). Also that it was allowed to open without proper process being followed.

I don't know actual facts so this isn't my opinion,I'm just pointing out what her issue actually was.

Nothing to do with race. So I guess the article pisses me off


The problem with that theory is that it isn't actually a franchise.

From the article:
"Mr Khuon said that Town and Country was not a franchise.

Recently Mrs George spent $20,000 fitting out half of a shop she owned in Waitara for an Indian restaurant franchise Masala Express,"

Also, she threatened to investigate the guys immigration status (for the record he is an NZ passport holder.)
