At the same time this will work to erode the independence of the Reserve Bank (e.g. 'look what the RB did without political oversight').

What drugs charge is so bad a sole caregiver for a 5 y.o. is sent to prison?
If serious, why would child be left with a mate?
If minor, why wouldn't home detention be more appropriate?

NZ incarceration culture should maybe be on trial?

Especially given none of the heads of this rampaging coalition actually live in Wellington. In fact, it seems they're trying to avoid the city completely with their ridiculous tunnel.
Please can the terms: 'this government' or 'National' or 'CoC' be used to describe neanderthal idiotic backward policies
Not the term 'Wellington' which is our capital city and which has been metaphorically crapped on by this government's hopelessly incompetent economic decisions
