Maybe this Government isn't as bad as many make out.
Evidence: Today's headline
Cabinet removes te reo Māori name of school lunches scheme
That is today's (daily) anti-Government headline and "report".
Suggests to me they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
NOTE: No children were unfed due to the production of this comment.
God defend New Zealand!
They just won't do it.
Even the supposedly right-leaning media will not ask it.
Why not?
The question: How are Sunny Kaushal and his mates supposed to increase retail crime now the Ministerial Advisory Group (The Retail Crime Group) has been disbanded?
Think of it: All those thieves and fraudsters waiting patiently for the FTA to kick in so they can flood New Zealand to follow their calling and now there will be no Govt. Agency to advise them how best to do it.
The disgrace; The shame!
This is almost as racist as the Treaty of Waitangi before the fraudsters corrected it.
Six years (2017-2023) of racist communism where the Government message was "Don't work, don't improve yourself, don't even get off the couch".
Now the unemployable (those no sensible employer wants and those who cost more to employ than they earn) rate is high and rising.
Could there be a relationship between those facts?
As always I am in the minority.
After 25 years of relative peace and quiet I endured another 25 years of regularly dealing with NZ Police personnel - my business, not theirs, most of the time.
I can not group the people I dealt with under one umbrella: The older men who had risen through the ranks were always impressive, always engendered respect and, largely, were damned good men to chat with.
Likewise those involved with fire-arms: Always impressive in their professionalism but never in any way threatening. Likewise, while not NZ Police, the Ocker cops in Christchurch after the big shake were never anything other than brilliant at a very hard time for Cantabrians.
Unfortunately there it stops.
I didn't meet every Christchurch based cop, not even the majority of them but the front-line police people I came into contact with were often (not always) lazy, ill-disciplined bully-boys with no ability to think, let alone act, without orders and I never, over 25 years, met a sheila cop who wasn't utter scum, disgracing the uniform at every opportunity.
Strangely the unsworn Police people I met, male and female, were all bloody good people.
3 out of 4, given those observations, is almost a win.
