"Fact is, we got gangsters starting to rob people in broad daylight at gas stations."
Yes and not just gangsters, kids as well. In Birkenhead, there are at least 4 Vape shops. Every few days, one of them gets new plywood windows and then 2 days later, another one... I'm wondering if there will be a week without a ram raid, not so far...
I don't disagree that journos don't know what happened, but what they can publish, is subject to discretion.
I will disagree with you about the labour govt. not because I like labour, but in my opinion politicians of any flavour, running the country, are the wrong people to do so.
Why should the winners of a popularity contest run the country?
We should be able to vote for: i.e. the best accountants to run finance, the best judges to run justice, the best large organisation head, to be PM etc - Best doctors to run health, you get the idea....
Best rugby coaches to run Rugby NZ, etc, etc...
