Just seems a little short while ago that various government politicians, and people acting as their media surrogates, were outraged and scandalized by, and poured scorn on, comments from younger women politicians for suggesting many people don't trust cops.

Highest levels of the force - filth.

Just imagine, he could have been our top cop:

"McSkimming missed out on the top job after the sex claims were inadvertently discovered during the vetting process, and the police belatedly investigated the woman’s allegations at the end of last year."

Of course she was charged under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, rather than treating the allegations as serious (and they were serious). This is awful.

Fantastic. I hope there will be apologies to Ms Paul from the MPs who attacked her for expressing these views.

Not exactly a stirling endorsement of this govt.

New Zealand has discovered a solution to the housing crisis… wreck the economy so people will leave.
When this Coalition Governments aim is to worry more about the landlords we know that the taxpayers are just fodder for the RW politicians.

Due to job losses and a badly run economy the people of Aotearoa have brought the cheapest option, a one way ticket out of here.

Another National MP hiding/ concealing their interests.
Its basically lying and as a MP in the most important establishment in Aotearoa should resign.

Its immoral.
Its dishonest.
And he is now untrustworthy to hold the position of MP.

I'm old enough to remember when a Labour MP was hounded out of office after not declaring a few thou worth of shares.

This seems... much worse. So I assume action will be swift and decisive. #nzpol

is there any other time in NZ history when an MP would've *got away with that*?

My lifetime has witnessed the decline of the experienced and independent-thinking journalist. They have been replaced by Shills ready to do the bidding of their owners or prepubescent youths eager for the byline and minimum wage. Like Jesters in a court, they perform but never produce.

$671m. Gone. Thrown away, by text. By our Finance Minister.

$671 million.

$140 for every single taxpayer in the country.

And yet that Finance Minister is still in office. Any sensible country would have them thrown out of politics for gross incomptence.
