Maybe now's the time to take your head out of your arse and start listening to your coalition partners instead of dunking on them

A weakness in the system is that only those who want to climb the ladder do - while many good leaders opt to stay on the workface...
And many of those on the workface are the good honest cops we can trust....

I agree.
When I had urgent need of the police a few years ago I had an amazing experience -they were wonderful. Perhaps it helped that the senior constable was a woman, but they did a fantastic job in scary circumstances.
I choose to believe there are far more like that than we realise.

FYI, NZFirst is part of this govt. Mr Peters has served as Deputy PM.
