So, it really is as simple as "we've chosen to back Team Israel, they're in the dominant position militarily, and as long as they choose to keep Palestinian lands we'll tacitly reward them for doing so." This is what our current government claims as being "global leadership".

I've had a pretty shocking 72 hours. You probably know the Wellington region is notorious for its dirty politics - and I just got a very personal taste. The time to take a stand is right now.

National PArty / ACT $5 million boot camp result is worse than it looks. 1 died.
Of those left, 88% re-offended, and 45% are in jail.
This is what Luxon and Karen Chhour claim is a "success". Worse, Luxon was told this would entrench and harden crime. National just don't care.

Worth remembering that our elimination strategy cost us less than most other countries (including Sweden). What the Treasury report is considering is the extent to which the government spent to protect us from those costs. We should all be prepared to carry more of the cost next time I guess.
