Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading.
But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you.

The inside story of how police protected a senior cop, and prosecuted his accuser instead
For years, police leadership ignored warnings about Jevon McSkimming. The IPCA has set out the chain of failures.

I have an idea. Publish the rich list, but base it solely on who personally paid the most tax.
Not charitable donations - that's just a way to enforce the values of the un-elected, but actual contribution to the community through tax.

NBR's 2025 rich list sees the total valuation pushed to $102.1 billion
The collective worth of the 119 individuals and families profiled is the equivalent of more than 40 percent of the nation's GDP
There are around a dozen new Rich Listers, worth $4.3 billion altogether
Two women, Anna Mowbray and Lucy Liu, have made the list for the first time since 2019
The National Business Review annual rich list has found Aotearoa's wealthiest people are collectively worth more than $100 billion - up from $95.55 billion last year - despite a tough 12 months financially.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tovgoxltmjvco6mu7tyhlgmk/bafkreicvneg5alstk72ag5vwomndwnvjosjdpxhrmtwpqtk5zgcznmfdku@jpeg)

Let me get this straight. ACT ministers want to
- Increase punitive enforcement on the families of truant kids at the expense of support services,
www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...
- decrease punitive enforcement of workplace safety regulations, in favour of advice and support.
It's incoherent.

So you can't
- continually ignore the work of skilled, principled people,
- blame them when what you actually do has unwelcome consequences
- and expect them to be silent forever.
The leakers no doubt know that this is a firing issue, and they chose to do it anyway. That says a thing.
