  • Increased Powers Of =?UTF-8?B?Q2l0aXplbuKAmXM=?= Arrest

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 27 06:24:21 2025
    Remember how, when NatActIrst announced the setup of that advisory group
    headed by Sonny Kaushal, to come up with ideas about how to address retail crime, I said that it would be a convenient excuse for the Government to
    blame somebody else for ideas that didn’t work?

    I think that’s happening, with this proposal to increase powers of citizen’s arrest. A certain group seems to be in favour of it, but increasingly we are seeing reasons coming to the fore why it’s likely to
    be a really bad idea.

    I suspect it was an attempt to distract from the school lunches
    problems, which are in turn a result of the increase in poverty in New
    Zealand.

    No, I love the truth and live by it. I do however have a problem with liars like you (just in case you hadn't noriced).
