Pretty embarrassing for journalists to have to overlay a "committing crimes" clarification in square brackets after the Prime Minister of NZ says "And it's pretty simple, we do not want people in the community." which frankly rings reasonably true given the exodus they have been driving.

FFS small towns often have relatively heavier traffic because they're service hubs for a wide area. I once moved from a big city to a town with a population a bit over 3k and the open air pedestrian mall was busier than Cuba St much of the time. Hell, check our Greytown or Martinborough any weekend!

Apparently controversial but I think the proposal for fencing Wellington is good actually - I've been aware since I was a kid that a trip the wrong direction rollerblading around there could mean cracking my skull open on the rocks. I would like fences please.

So let me get this straight. We invite the FBI boss to Wellington to open an office. He then says he'll use it to spy on our top export buyer, China, who is then as pissed as. Then Trump HIKES our tariff to 15% from 10%, making us less competitive vs Australia's beef/wine exports to US - still 10%.🤷♂️

Does anyone know where to find details of the civil defence alert that just happened? I dismissed it super quick because I had a baby dropping off to sleep and I didn't know how else to make the noise stop!

Why do none of the many articles on the spike in meth use connect it to David Seymour removing protections on pseudoephedrine - making it far far easier to get the materials to make meth? Like, this is a clear and expected and devastating consequence, not some blip. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
Meth consumption still high, no evidence of related spike in crime
But police data is yet to show evidence of any related significant spike in crime.

All of Govt's 2024 coal earnings spent treating damages at a single mine
The Stockton mine is hoping for a fast-tracked 25-year extension, as historic damages are costing the Crown more than it earns from all coal mine royalties

So how did Jago get away with it for so long?
Absolutely nothing to do with his brother being 'a senior detective'. No way that could be the case.
Great work from Edward Gay on exposing this and other stuff one of the victim's family want aired.

“Why did police shelve an investigation into a teenager’s sex abuse allegations about former Act Party president Tim Jago 25 years before he was eventually convicted?”
‘Why was it swept under the table?’ Victim’s parents question police’s shelving of probe into sex offender
Former Act Party president Tim Jago was accused of sexually abusing a teenager in 1999. He wasn’t charged until fresh allegations emerged more than two decades later.
