David Farrar: Dairy Owners scoff at watered down Three Strikes Law

The Dairy and Business Owners Group released:

Dairy owners are calling on the Coalition government to toughen its Three Strikes 2.0, that has been so watered down, it risks being ‘no strikes.’

“In Opposition, the new government talked a great game so we’re guttered to see Three Strikes 2.0 turn into no strikes,” says Sunny Kaushal, chair of the Dairy and Business Owners Group Incorporated.

Sunny Kaushal: New Zealand has a begging emergency and it demands tough action

New Zealand has a begging and homelessness emergency and it’s worse than what I recently saw in a country most Kiwis associate with it – India.

Begging and homelessness here is the tip of a full-blown social emergency we see with ram-raiding kids destroying property for the sake of it.

RNZ hit the nail on the head saying shopkeepers on Auckland’s K Road are in despair. Not just the ram raids, but the crime and grime with begging and homelessness. And it’s not just K Road, or Auckland, but in towns across New Zealand.
