Chris Hopkins will never be a elected prime minister he is just a fill in. Don't know any labor candidates that have leadership qualities atm.

What I find concerning is that National have repeatedly said that they are responsible for the decline in ram raids in NZ through legislation they're past and programs such as boot camps by saying that ram raid data from other countries like Oz, Canada and the UK haven't recorded a decline in ram raids.

Problem with that is that of the four countries, only NZ collects national ram raid data.... it's impossible to know what's happening in the other countries as they don't collect national data for the number of ram raids.

It could well be a world wide trend occurring outside of government policy and programs aimed at stopping youth offending.

It’s not a trend in Australia. Tobacco related crime is at epidemic levels. Murder, shootings, firebombings. There are newspaper investigations happening.

So glad we have the coalition looking after us so we can walk through our city centres safely again.

Was pretty bad when we had justice ministers fleeing the police and MP’s shoplifting… the inmates were running the place for a while.

Now we have Sunny Kaushal on a reported $2500 per day trying to do a job that your beloved coalition cannot do.
Ramraids may be down for the meantime but stabbings and violence and meth use are at a new high

We know Sunni from when he was a manager at what was then called the Regent Hotel in Auckland.... over 30 years ago he upgraded us from a regular room to a suite at the hotel for the first night of our honeymoon.

Funny thing is that as I'm getting closer to getting a Gold Birthday card from Winnie, I'm liking him more and more. Shane Jones, IMO, always comes across as too much of a maverick. I get the feeling he'll be the NZF leader when Winnie finally puts down his blue and red phones.



I can see a lot of their supporters going back to the Nats when Winnie's gone.

Shane Jones stood up in parliament the other day and proclaimed that bottom trawling has little or no effect on the seabed of the Hauraki Gulf when everyone knows that is absolutely BS
I don't trust him one little bit

To be fair it’s because the seabed is already wrecked by bottom trawling so he’s probably technically correct

There are $111.8 billion in managed KiwiSaver funds so you are talking well under half a % and in the margin of error

Honestly the unemployment rate has gone up more than the withdrawal rate… which actually shows our resilience. Quite a positive graph even really.

I’m sure there’s people applying and using the hardship because of the current recession Labours caused (and the withdraws started ramping up under Labour) but it’s also rather insignificant sums in the scheme of a huge and impressive KiwiSaver scheme.

Lesson Ah Mau and his wife being named by the media in the Whanau Ora corruption.

Typical that you find positives in other peoples misery.

The positive is people aren’t as miserable as the overall unemployment rate increase.

I choose to celebrate our resilience and not subscribe to perpetual victimhood.

Yet you're a snowflake on social equity and regulations that protect all.

Social equity , meritocracy and equality of opportunity

Dumb, excessive regulations that make the poor poorer , smart, fair and workable regulations underpinning our key areas
