No Vaccine Pass for Hastings Public Facilities - NZ

Comments

I feel strongly that no one should be disadvantaged by their private medical status.

Melissa Ockey (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I am so disappointed with HDC. Excluding people based on their vaccination status is an absolutely unnecessary measure to take. It further promotes fear and segregation in our community. If the vaccine works, this mandate is pointless. If the vaccine doesn’t work, this mandate is pointless. This measure is not about health, it’s about control and punishing those who wish to retain bodily autonomy. In the beginning I was proud to say our council was above such appalling behaviour. Now I feel ashamed that they have bought into this nonsense. Further to that, we all pay for these ammenities in our rates. Will the unvaccinated see a rebate???

I can't enter the library to get books for my 9 year old.

Lauren Hastie (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

Mandates are pointless and an overreach of the company we all have a basic human right to body autonomy and these jabs have proven to be ineffective n dangerous..where there is risk there MUST be choice!!!!

Melanie Marsh (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

My children can no longer get swimming lessons or visit the library!!!

Amber Cleary (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I don’t believe that segregation and discrimination cannot be justified or reasonable and is completely unreasonable on Hastings residents

David Lawes (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I believe as rate payers EVERYONE, regardless of vaccine status has the right to use public facilities. Discrimination of any person, for any reason is against the Mew Zealand Bill of Rights.
If you continue on this current path then those that are choosing not to support discrimination by refusing to use a vaccine pass should get a refund of rates.

Annika Funnell (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I need to swim regularly for my health and the pools are closed to me now,as well as the library. I have paid rates in Hastings for 42 years, these are My facilities to use. How dare you ban my access

Jocelyn Freeman (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I stand against the division these mandates and vaccines passports have created in our community and the role they will play in the utter devastation and breakdown of our society .
Furthermore, I believe If you pay taxes you should be able to access all the facilities you pay those taxes for .

Angeline Ramsay (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

As a ratepayer I am dismayed at this apartheid system generated unnecessarily by the HDC. I should not have to travel to Napier to get a Library book or have a swim. Yet, you still charge me rates for facilities I am banned from. I will remember your decision come election time later this year.

Cecile Hurford (Havelock North, 2022-02-04)

I am appalled that the HDC has chosen to actively support segregation in this country and to ignore due process in making this decision. As a ratepayer and a NZ citizen I am furious that this is happening. The HDC has absolutely no right to persecute people for their personal health decisions. On top of the above, I am appalled that HDC feels that they can remove the rights of those who actually pay for the council services.

Vivienne Bidwell (Clive, Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I am saddened for my children who I can no longer bring to the library, they love browsing the books and reading, this is so cruel and makes me feel really disgusted with our council. thus is outright discrimination and it has no place here in our beautiful hastings city.

Tineka Ferguson (hastings, 2022-02-04)

#21

I'm signing this because I object to myself and my children being refused entry from the libraries and swimming pools. It is completely unfair, unethical and discriminates against our family who pays for these services in out rates.

Louise Burton (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#24

The supermarket is not mandated. The library's have less traffic in people terms. There is no logic to mandates for library's. It's just plain being mean. Stop it.

Tim Eagle (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I want democracy

Carina Chambers (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

The rest of the world are dropping vaccine mandates not increasing them.

Wayne Lee (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#30

I am a rate payer and take exception to a council that makes an undemocratic decision wielding power above and beyond it's jurisdiction. I object to a divided and segregated society.

Deborah Taylor (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#33

We pay for these facilities we should get you use them and segregation (apartheid) is wrong. The science surrounding transmission (i.e. The vaccinated spread covid 19 just as much as unvaccinated) fails to give a valid public health rationale for the implementation of these repugnant policies!

David Millin (Havelock North, 2022-02-04)

#36

The invasive bully boy tactics that this government and local bodies are employing is abhorrent and based on shoddy science

Phil Aitken (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#37

I’m signing because all these “mandates for vaccines”, masks, social distancing, and now “vaccine passports” and even covid itself, have nothing to do with what is really going on; and it is that all these measures are steps along the way towards the final implementation of Agenda 30 and “The Great Reset” - the end result of which will be a total global surveillance state, and the compkete destruction of Democracy world-wide. I know without doubt that Council members, at least some of them, are aware that this is what’s happening. The very secrecy with which Council proceeds along this track is itself a violation of our Democratic Principles. I know Council moves these things along in secret because they fear that if they were open and transparent with what they are moving forward, the majority of the people would oppose them, and quite rightly too. These ideas that Council is secretly moving forward are ideas generated by remote, off-shore, unelected bureaucrats who are also working to secret agendas. But these ideas are just that - ideas. There are other ideas of how we can solve our global problems without these draconian and tyrannical measures. You have to come to the negotiating table with the people who you ostensibly serve, and humbly ask them for THEIR solutions.

Chris Elliott (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

I am opposed to discrimination due to mandates or vaccine status

Julie Harris (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#41

The new stipulation to have a vaccine pass in order to enter council buildings and access council facilities is abhorrent and a discrimination against the local people.

Kel Davis (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#42

I believe every Hastings resident has a right to council public facilities esp the library

Kerrie Brown (Hastings, 2022-02-04)

#43

I'm signing this petition because it causes Victimization of and aparthied, totally abhorrent to a democratic society, and freedom of choice to participate in society and democracy

Paul Yorke (Napier, 2022-02-04)

#46

I am against medical discrimination. There is evidence showing that the Pfizer vaccine is very dangerous to all creatures ; it has no long term safety data, and the manufacturer has no liability for damage caused. Neither is there proof of efficacy. Therefore it is up to the people pushing the mandate to prove the need.

Andrew Olsen (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#49

Hastings District Council public facilities should be available to all people. HDC has not followed a democratic process or consulted with its local community, before making this decision. The harm of excluding and discriminating against children, the elderly, deprived families,and some of our most vulnerable people far outweighs any perceived benefit or minimisation of risk.

Lisa Soltau (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#50

Im signing because i disagree with your mandates for vaccine passes. As a rates payer i am entitled to publicly access these places. This is totally unlawful and you will be held accountable for this breech of law.

linda mccullough (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#51

Because it's discriminating and rediculous

Mel Susanto (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#53

The withholding of entry into the library and blood donation facilities is terrible, let alone the other facilities. I do not believe there is any risk to anyone upon entering these places

Carolyn Jablonski (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#54

We are being denied access to services we are paying rates for. This doesn't seem fair or lawful.

Anthony Jennings (Havelock North, 2022-02-05)

#55

I believe Hastings District Council is using bully tactics for the government into abusing the human rights of its citizens. I pay rates and have done for 32 years and I'm disgusted that me or my whānau are being discriminated against for choosing to be vaccine free because of our religeous beliefs.

Michelle Horne (Flaxmere, 2022-02-05)

#56

Because this is discriminating !! Having the vaccine doesnt make you covid free! And not having the vaccine doesnt mean you have covid so why are we dividing the nation and causing more depression in the communities !!! Shame on you!! Its not about health and more people are realising this !!

Rosie Walters (Clive, 2022-02-05)

We should all be able to access these facilities regardless of vaccination status

Shona Sunley (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

It's criminal

Cat Kynoch (hastings, 2022-02-05)

I am affected by these discriminating restrictions

Kim McMillan (Napier, 2022-02-05)

HCC has a responsibility in providing services that promote social cohesion, active participation in a democratic society, and a non-discriminatory environment that includes all members of society. Why are they then choosing to promote social divisiveness, medical apartheid, and failing to promote democratic values? It is shocking that a decision as important as this was made by an unelected bureaucrat without consulting elected council representatives let alone attempting public consultation. Hiding behind health and safety rules instead of robust debate doesn’t foster confidence in where the council is going.

Herman Veluwenkamp (Hastings, 2022-02-05)

#71

Excluding people based on their own health decisions is a disproportionate response to the risks posed

Sasha Watt (Havelock North, 2022-02-05)

#76

I’m absolutely disgusted at the ability of a council to abuse their power by cutting off a portion of society in this way. As a child I lived in South Africa. This is what you have chosen to become over the common cold. Shame on you.

Nicola Kenny (Havelock North, 2022-02-05)

I have been swimming 40 laps at the Flaxmere Pool until we got locked out.

Nathan Ferguson (hastings, 2022-02-05)

It is descrimination

Brendan Hamilton-Gibbs (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#96

It is utterly unacceptable to segregate people in Mew Zealand.

Gui Vilhena (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#97

I am signing because I pay my rates and therefore a steak holder of the local services!!

Corrie Levick (Whirinaki, 2022-02-06)

#105

I'm signing because freedoms must be upheld in a democratic society. Any segregation or discrimination for any reason is abhorrent in civilized culture and only leads to extremism and dictatorship. Free access to all local govt facilities is a an integral condition of a progressive people.

Grahame Johnston (Havelock North, 2022-02-06)

#108

I'm signing this petition because I believe we New Zealanders are a deocratically free country having not agreed via any democratic process to circum to a dictatorial regulation by persons holding positions remunerated by we the ratepayers without a democratic vote to regulate to deny such rate payers - owners - access to THEIR property. I caution that a truck convoy may come your way!!

Stuart Veitch (Havelock North, 2022-02-06)

These facilities are essential services and should be available to all.

Willow Sharp (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

Mandates are a crime against humanity

Mark Frear (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

I want access to all council facilities as a rate payer or a refund on my rates.

Vicki Sutcliffe (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

Im signing for each persons individual sovereignty, truth and freewill.

Jane Mackinnon (Napier, 2022-02-06)

#116

It's wrong.hdc is making a clear political alignment with this outrageous government.should be neutral, especially to rate payers.

Jaime Taylor (Napier, 2022-02-06)

#121

There is no logic or reasoning behind so called "vax" passes at all. All data indicates that at best these jabs give very short term and moderate protection, after which they are actually detrimental to your immune system and make you MORE susceptible to disease, including Covid.
Stop your irrational hysteria. If you are not able to think rationally, get out of government.

Graham Ward (Napier, 2022-02-06)

#124

I'm signing because I don't believe in segregation in society for the 'greater good' whatever that means. These mandates are an example of government overreach and are unlawful.

Ingrid Savill (Napier, 2022-02-06)

#126

It is so wrong to use this level of discrimination against rate paying citizens.

Lisa Osborne (Te Pohue, 2022-02-06)

#128

this is total BS and the council needs to get back to helping the people -- all people - you are on the wrong side of history

Jill Norman (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#130

If people who are HIV positive or gay or black were excluded from public facilities we wouldn't tolerate it for a moment. How is this any different? When 90%+ of Covid cases in NZ and beyond are now fully vaccinated. Which clearly demonstrates that community members bearing vax passports are no more or less dangerous than my children, which makes excluding my children from the library unconscionable. We pay rates which are for these public services. It is completely unacceptable for HDC to champion discrimination. Of all of the measures enacted in the last 20+ months this is one of the most saddening and disturbing. Who would want local citizens prevented from using libraries?

Fritha Hewetson (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#131

Discrimination is always wrong. The vaxxed and unvaxxed pay the same rates so should get the same services.

Sharon Coates (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#132

As a ratepayer of 40 years standing who happens not to be double vaccinated. I still have the right to access the council properties.

Lindsay Coates (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#136

I believe in freedom, freedom of choice and freedom of the people for the people. I want my rates back if I can't use facilities I have paid for. This Nazis system of making people prove they are vaxxed is just draconian. Show me it keeps people safe and I'll show you a liar.

Lars Freeman (Havelock North, 2022-02-06)

#138

If not late. I support your stance and oppose division and discrimination.

Tania Huata (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#140

This requirement is in breach of basic human rights. It also doesn't stack up from a scientific point of view as the latest published research demonstrate with any margin of doubt that regardless regardless of having received the jab you can catch and pass it on to others. No scientific evidence suggests that the breaks the chain of transmission. Clearly this policy amounts to discrimination, segregation, and has no place in our district. In addition to it that was zero public debate prior to implementing it which it's also in breach of the most basic democratic standards.

Guilherme Dib (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#146

Everyone should be welcome in a society, with council run facilities, unless they have committed a crime or are incapable of participating in society as it is. I am neither. So why are you taking away the same rights as you have?

Tory Allan (Napier, 2022-02-06)

#149

I’m a ratepayer regardless of my medical status and these facilities must be made available to ALL!

Justin Beattie (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

I am unable to access the facilities I pay for with my rates

Jade Powell (Te awanga, 2022-02-06)

Banning perfectly healthy people from facilities that they help pay for is just plain wrong. You’re fuelling medical apartheid.

Gareth Dobson (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

Freedom to choose

Sylvia Lane (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

#159

I’m signing this because we are appalled that our public servants have chosen To participate in this mass medical apartheid and discriminate against its people, people whom pay your wages and keep these public facilities open. You mandating these facilities is not a government requirement. You have chosen this! Disappointed with your decisions. We are business owners in Hawkes bay and have adapted the way we run our business as we cater for the whole community and would NEVER discriminate our people. Do what’s right in your own hearts.

Mel Campbell (Havelock North, 2022-02-06)

I say no ,no mandates no more control

Paula Bennett (Hastings, 2022-02-06)

I believe it’s discrimination to stop someone’s lives based on what should be a medical choice

Dylan Urlich (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

There should be NO divide!

Chantelle Collins (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

I pay to use these facilities

Sarah Curd (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#174

I would have hoped that an institute such as HDC would move with the real science, which has proved to be as fast paced as the virus changes and mutates. It is a shame to see HDC stuck in it's unfounded and irrational discrimination, when the virus does not even discriminate between vaccinated and not vaccinated!

Malina Parkinson (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#175

These are public places that we pay for in our rates, and we should not be required to show private medical information to utilise. This is discrimination!

Hannah Raikes (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#179

Enough is enough, so no more listening to the UN as we the people are the tax payers and Rates we pay for us to use library and public places freely without Vaccine passports. NO TO VACCINE PASSPORTS which is crime against humanity to coerce experimental gene therapy inoculations on kiwis.

jahanara hintz (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#181

Shame on you Hastings District Council.
This is pointless segregation. Vaccines do not stop transmission, that is a well known fact. You hugely impact and disadvantage our young people, by excluding them from these resources.

Linda Wiseman (Hastings, Hawkes Bay, 2022-02-07)

#182

.......HDC a please explain. Unfair Unkind Undemocratic Parental behavior on ur part, we are not children, nor irresponsible rate payers, we can create solutions. Work WITH ALL your people.

Coline Hape (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#183

This divides the people and takes away basic rights of individuals. It’s WRONG

Dianne Edwards (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#185

Because we all pay for these services through our rates. It is wrong to exclude people based on their vax status.
Unvaxed people pose the same risk as vaxed people.

Amanda Ostergren (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#186

I don’t believe in discrimination. As a rate payer, myself and all HDC residents should have the right to council facilities regardless of vax status.

Renee Allen (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#192

I believe in equal rights and non discrimination

Rowan Westbrook (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#196

Im signing because every human being has a right to access any facility without discrimination. This goes far beyond the human rights of NZ people.
Those who feel it’s a safe choice to take a vaccine have and should, but that should never be forced on others who don’t want to or feel they need to, nor should they be discriminated for choosing not to have it.
My children have every right to be able to enter their local library, pool, art gallery, cafe, restaurant, park, skate park and HDC has taken that away from them, our family and our friends.

Wendy Campbell (Hastings, 2022-02-07)

#199

I don't believe in people being discriminated because they have not had the vaccine.
