    A friend of his, FAL holder, spends 5-6 months a year in the States, and the rest of the year here in NZ
    Came into MIQ wearing a MAGA hat ( Trump ) and apparently gave the MIQ guards some stick while isolating there.
    Police state and all that.
    He got a letter from the police, when home, basically saying improve your attitude, or it’ll effect your FAL come renewal.
    Pissed him off, so he took it to court.
    Letter got thrown out, and apparently this no longer happens.
    Because the ‘decision’ about his attitude was obviously subjective.
    ‘Someone’ made the call, it was over the line.
    Anyway, he had the letter framed, and it’s on his wall.
    I seem to remember reading somewhere about a similar letter being sent with regard to speeding tickets ? @308 can I suggest polite but insistent ?
    Mate I've given up on polite completely

    IPCA complaint
    Letter to Ombudsman (fyi - not their department)
    2 letters to the minister
    Letter to Nicole

    They told me it's all approved and with the printers and will be with me any day now blah blah

    Police could tell me the sky is blue and I'd look outside to check

    Stone cold useless, the lot of em - they took a whole year to do my C endorsement a couple years back so they have got "form" - this time it is just a simple license renewal and I've been waiting since fucking May or something

    I shall never give in I shall never back down and I shall hound them to the ends of the earth until they do their fucking job
