This is like Brexit where you have to read overseas articles for a more balanced and truthful view. I don't think the gang patch ban is going to make that much difference to crime rates. You need more than correlation to prove that it does

I agree, but I think that's just the headline. I think the deal will pass with at least Labour support. I think the objection from Peters is the usual xenophobia. I have no problem with the extra visas for Indians and I for one welcome the possibility of more proper Indian chefs.
This is odd framing.
Luxon's the one in trouble here, for making a deal so shonky it's straining coalition unity.
His negotiation skills and his leadership nous are in question.
Labour and the Greens are in a position to make political hay - to point out Luxon's flaws and make demands

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.

I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

Apt description for Shane Jones. If he was serious about his cause he'd attack the argument and not the person. The fact he has just shows he has no argument just rhetoric.

Goodbye US tourism

Good. I wasn't looking forward to an increase in the superannuation age. Though I think I wouldn't be affected if they did. It'd be the younger generation that would have to wait longer. I remember when it was still 60, when my father retired.

They're not even terrorists or enemy combatants (not that, that would be a reason to do this either).

They're just immigrants and refugees that made the mistake of moving to the USA.

Theres just no reason for this. It achieves nothing except cruelty for the sake of it.

Perhaps that is the point.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
