More emissions, more pollution more contaminated drinking water, more intensive dairy, more roads and less accountability.

If they don't record it (e.g. family violence), they can't count it. Easy.
RNZ Anneke Smith article is a National Party PR puff piece. Where is opposition comment?
“Coalition lauds 38k fewer victims of violent crime.”
When Luxon came into Govt they changed victimisation stats removing domestic & MH call-outs.
No one truly believes crime is down here do they? #nzpol
