David Farrar: Do they have any proof for their assertions?


The Herald reports:

A powerful new report reveals far more women and girls are dying from systemic, preventable violence in New Zealand than previously acknowledged – and the national response still falls short.

I agree that it is terrible so many women and girls are killed by men in New Zealand.

The report found Māori women and girls are significantly overrepresented among family violence homicide victims. “Between 2018 and 2022, had rates been equal across ethnicities, an estimated 25 more Māori women and girls would be alive today.”

“This is not about individual acts,” the report stressed. “It’s about systemic inequities, colonisation, racism, poverty and the failure to respond to community needs.”

You often get reports making this assertion., My question is what is their evidence or proof of this?

The left never seem to regard individuals who do terrible things as being responsible for what they do – it is always the fault of the system or some ism.

David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders

One way to look at this is how Jacinda and Labour gave money to gangs, increased handouts to these offenders and also passed policies to keep these offenders out of prison. They also gave billions of dollars to Maori. Their social policies were the exact opposite of what the media is complaining about. Did that reduce violent crime? No, violent crime skyrocketed.

Quite right David and I’m over it. Time these individuals took a good hard look at their life choices-drugs firstly!
