Just Mucking Around
When a Maori applicant for a taxi license to serve Te Teko, was giving evidence before the sitting of the Transport Licensing Authority, he declared that he had at first applied for a loan to establish himself as a farm agricultural machinery owner. He had dropped the idea when the Rehabilitation Department kept ‘just mucking around’ with it and now decided on another course of livelihood. The allegation brought Mr Drake (Rehabilitation Officer) to his feet. “You applied for a loan of £2OOO in May, and the Department had approved it for you by early September,” he said. “Po you call that mucking around?” The applicant’s rejoinder was a nonchalant nod.
