  1. I’d like to nominate the copper admitted to hospital with a homemade javelin lodged in his upper arm and took one for the team, while Trevor and co watched safely from the Parliamentary balcony.

  2. Snow White. Hadn’t heard about that policeman. Yeah hats off to him and all the police out there doing a really hard job.

    NZder of the year. The Listener 7 even though two of them have since passed away. (I know they wrote there piece in 2021, but time to acknowledge them.

  3. Nothing condones the vandalism. Nothing at all. Nothing condones the deliberate spreading of the virus. Nothing at all. Nothing condones what those neanderthals did. Nothing at all. Right to Protest? Sure, but that was blatant, wanton insurrection.

  4. “A working class revolution came to Wellington at the beginning of the year and it was the middle class Maoists who were revolted!”–Really? lets investigate that claim by using materialist political terms to take those terms literally, rather than in a post modernist or piss taking sense–where anything can be ascribed to mean anything.

    • “Working class revolution” involves a fundamental shift in class power, mass action and is by nature anticapitalist–saw little sign of that at the Parliamentary occupation. Lots of anti NZ Labour though (a neo liberal non revolutionary Parliamentary party), and anti vaccine fear, and a bit of anti 5G chucked in too and some Groundswell (all power to the Utes…) of course.

    • “Middle Class” are mid socio economic level workers, who are often aspirational and identify with their class masters and top management.

    • Maoists were initially hard core left revolutionaries who saw the vanguard being Chinese peasants rather than Marx & Lenin’s proletariat. And indeed in some countries where Maoists operate/d there was barely a working class let alone a middle class. Middle class Maoists? I don’t think so.

    Sure some middle class people did not appreciate the motley crew at Parliament despite their legitimate grievances, which is interesting historically, I recall the Wellington middle class and students blocking motorways in the 1981 Springbok tour, while the Swandri wearing proletariat made their way to the games! So allegiances can switch and without decent working class leadership odd stuff will happen.

    The cops made a pragmatic decision not to bust too many heads, but really they should have stopped the occupation on day 1 with a no vehicle rule and a curfew.

  5. Cuddle Coster, social worker of the year.

    Would have liked to see him walking the Beat more.

  6. This government came into office with a soft-on-crime mantra, and now we are all paying for it.

    >Let’s reduce the prison population, they said

    >Let’s cancel new prison builds so that inmates have to double bunk in inhuman conditions that just breed more crime.

    > Let’s appoint a soft-touch Mormon mate of the PM as police commissioner who was prepared to stand by and watch Maori form illegal roadblocks during covid; saying he’ll only prosecute the selected crimes.

    > Hey, now let’s pay the Mongrel Mob to do drug rehabilitation! The same gang that was subsequently in court over drug peddling charges. Imagine what a morale booster that was for the average constable.

    > Then cancels police vehicle chases only to see Auckland turn into a youth crime hellscape

    > The pinnacle of this government’s achievement was the guy found guilty of five rapes who only got home D.

    What a disgrace!

    1. Yup, policing now seems to have devolved to the point where they will pull over a NZ European and fine the shit out of them for literally driving 5km over the speed limit but the gangs can do whatever they want with zero consequences . . saw a tiny policewoman a few weeks ago who was on her phone while in the passenger seat of a passing police car who just screamed ‘useless in a fight’ . . pretty much a ready-made victim in a uniform and make up.

      The gangs must be loving all this PC bullshit.
