Today’s *Dominion-Post*, delivered, thank God – it’s raining – in a plastic wrapper, includes a double-page feature on the evils of plastic.

**DOUBLE STANDARDS (2)**

Saturday’s *New Zealand Herald* website was headed by a lengthy item titled, “Where’s the kindness?”

This regaled how a small one woman travel agency couldn’t pay her shop rental due to the lockdown and destruction of travel activity. The lack of kindness the newspaper advised, was from the shop-owner holding her to her lease.

It’s a great way to solve a problem, namely pass it on to someone else, despite not being responsible for it.

The woman said she’d found a replacement tenant, namely a proposed restaurant, but this was rejected by the shop-owner. The article didn’t say but if it was a standard lease, the only likely grounds for rejection was financial, the usual situation with restaurant start-ups, thus their 18 months survival record.

But, while the *Herald*, presumably out of modesty, didn’t say so, doubtless in the interest of kindness and consistency, they’re providing the unemployed, unable to pay a subscription, with free daily deliveries.

Both these items represent blatant hypocrisy.
