Enormous event at Luxon post-Cabinet question time today as Waatea’s Press Gallery Journalist Claudette Hauiti slams Luxon with breaking explosive news that the heavy handed Police action in Ōpōtiki saw a 3 year old left alone in the back of a cop car of arrested whanau members who had been led out in handcuffs and strip searched!
This is the first moment that these allegations have been confirmed, and as I have argued constantly, Mark Mitchell is going to start a war in Ōpōtiki with his heavy handed Police actions.
Storming homes, handcuffing family and leaving 3 year olds in the hands of cops for hours on their own!
IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT A 3 YEAR OLD WAS LEFT ALONE WHILE THEIR HOME WAS TRAUMATISED!
There have been rumours of how extreme the Police action was in Ōpōtiki and we are now getting the issues out into the public.
The Māori Party and local Iwi have led this criticism and Claudette nailed it by forcing Luxon to acknowledge it happened!
Watching him squirm from apologising for abuse in State care to justifying why an infant was left alone during gang raids is excruciating.
Claudette showed us the real power of journalism today.
It doesn’t matter if you are Left or Right, leaving an infant alone as part of heavy handed police tactics is not only sick, but traumatises the infant at a time when the PM is apologising for abusing children in state care!
Luxon tries to shrug off Claudette’s question, but the explosion of questions about it from other journalists supported Claudette.
When did the PM know a 3 year old had been left alone for hours?
What other incidents happened?
What else is he not telling us about these heavy handed police raids?
This is a liberal progressive democracy, it is not a Police State!
A kuia claims she and her daughter-in-law were subjected to strip searches during the Ōpōtiki police raids on homes suspected to be connected to the Mongrel Mob.
And a 3-year-old’s Ōpōtiki home has allegedly been raided four times by police in 10 months, as whānau speak of the long-term effects these armed raids have on tamariki and mokopuna.
“My daughter-in-law and I were subjected to invasive strip searches, an experience that left me feeling violated and humiliated,” one kuia said.
“The decision to search only the two of us in this manner was unexplained and deeply troubling.
“I was told to undress down to my undies, even had to lift my bra. I still cannot fully comprehend why this had to happen and the purpose of only searching her and I in this manner.”
All National are doing is radicalising people with heavy handed police tactics that will see Police stations getting firebombed.

He doesn’t care about these babies because they are the babies of bottom feeders. He once again showed his true colours. HE DOESN’T CARE FULL STOP
Wouldnt be a problem if the parents cared.
Your right to bring up the parents.
It is a shame we have parents that do not want to feed their children ,give them a moral upbringing and get them to school. They may be the parents but they are not doing a good job as caregivers. The police are not the baddies here the so called parents are
You are both making it all up, you’ve decided without any firm evidence that this is what happened. The police have banged up police for murders they did not commit, and some of them are scoundrels we know that. Lets all live on the bones of our arse and see then what happens.
The abuse in care inquiry was only needed because of wide scale covering up by officials in oversight capacities who should have known better, but instead of wanting to get to the bottom of anything, their first response was to see if they could get away with doing nothing, since doing nothing is always so much easier than doing something.
Police, MOH, CYFS, DHBs, HDC, IPCA, pollies and professional associations, all the people with the expertise and knowledge to provide the necessary oversight by taking their responsibilities seriously, used their expertise and knowledge to cover up instead. Luxon is just more of the same. Just as people with no experience of WW2 can learn how a dictator acts by watching Trump, those who cannot understand how officials stood by and through their inactions, actually further encouraged the abusers who knew there would be no consequences, can see right before them the PM who has ultimate responsibility for his officials, sticking his head in the sand, instead of demanding that heads roll, because doing nothing is just so much easier, until Claudette calls you out on it. How can a PM solve problems if he is part of the problem? Leaving a three year old unsupervised is child abuse Mr PM, and keeping quiet about it, like so many of your officials, makes you the abuser by proxy.
Arsehole comment Cricklewood.
Shits like you deserve a dose of diaharea
Fuck you dickhead
where does it say the parents left the kid alone .?where does it say the parents dont care ?we often see the PM say ‘I DONT CARE’
If theyre peddling meth from the family home they dont really give a fuck.
Yes but you don’t actually know that.
How do you know they dont? How do you know this was not a “fishing” expedition on part of the police? No matter what the reason, no child should be left in the back of a cop car alone
Yep …doesn’t give a jot…he’s no Prime Ministerial qualities whatsoever.. that’s for sure !!
He should never have been allowed to get even close to the reins of power and showed his true colours recently when he revealed in an interview that he thinks voters are ‘customers’…WTF!!??…who, as a Prime Minister of N.Z., has ever talked like that?
It’s a wonder he didn’t also slip in the old corporate cliche that we are all just ‘working units.’
It would’ve taken some doing to beat dodgy Shipley and slippery John as N.Zs worst ever Prime Ministers, but the aptly named Clusterfuxon is doing it at a canter!
Apparently their are panic stations going on in behind the scenes. Prepare to see him gone by midway through next year …if not before!
The fact he tried to hide it epitomises the type of Trump like government he wants to run. Right wing governments create atrocities with punitive policies, fact.
Pretty damn sad and unacceptable, but when you’re peddling meth from the family home and profiting from the associated human misery youre basically garaunteeing your kids are got see some very traumatic shit.
Dine with the devil you better bring a long spoon.
wow. What a piece of shit you are, but don;t feel bad, MANY kiwis are pieces of shit, just like you. So as far as you are concerned, leaving a 3 year old behind after arresting all the family is fine because just admit it, you don’t believe in a democracy, you believe in a policy e state – just admit it cricklewood – you get excited by the Police State don’t you?
So you know this do you, chapter and verse.
“Wouldnt be a problem if the parents cared”
I think this is one the most totally arseholic statements ever.
Exactly how does the parents wrongdoing justify mistreating a toddler?
Maori babies will rank higher than Palestinian babies somewhere in Luxo’s unconscious hierarchy of God’s creation. But that’s a low bar.
He says he’s relentlessly focused on targets, outcomes, delivery, being super-excited and ambitious for hard-working Kiwis, blah, blah. But “hard-working” is doing the heavy lifting here.
It is illegal to leave any child alone until they are 14. If the police did this terrible thing then they were acting unlawfully. They will be libal. What a heartbreaking story. Peace family.

The polished turd’s veneer is rapidly crumbling, fingers close in on the flush button
What a usless prick ,Mitchell should be hauled over the coals as should Coster and the area Comander who would no doubt have been sitting in his office at the time .
This fucking PM was on the news last night saying Costello is a great minister and she will have NZ SMOKE FREE by 2025 which is in two months .No chance of that happening unless they ban tobacco completly because my partner has no intention of stopping .
They couldn’t plan for this event and take a social worker with them or a female cop with Mum experience?
You’d wonder why not.
Not a woman in uniform and not a social worker unless known to the child. They would all be strangers.
Messy planning or NO planning. Poor little kid. They are the meat in the sandwich always, little children. No wonder they go bad.
This govt. will go down in history for cruelty and paving the way for the next generation of criminals, people with mental illness or addictions, all the bad things they say they are going to FIX.
Petty minded liars.
I hope Luxon’s God forgives him because a lot of Aotearoan/NZders won’t. He needs replacing immediately.
Mark Mitchell – the hired gun – how many kids did he kill or leave to die in Iraq?
TDB attracts the ‘Right’ like flies to shit.
RNZ are reporting that there is no actual evidence of children being left on their own by Police. Even Chippy is being cautious. It will be interesting to see whether the IPC finds any real evidence.
All lies it seems .Not surprised
It’s immaterial whatever the argument it’s illegal to leave a 3 year old on their own, be it a millionaire or a lowly bottom feeder. Who would be the first to shout if the family had left the baby on its own. The rabid right wing of course
