You will remember how hot it was during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 summers, It was even hotter for prisoners confined for most of the day [some 23 hours out of the 24] in a small cell, often sharing that small space with a cellmate. Well the guards, who weren’t locked in the cells so suffered nowhere near as much, got slushy machines….at taxpayer expense.

I may well be time for our policy makers involved in strategic planning for the best security possible for New Zealand, to consider sending some of our people to complete courses in Russia – rather than send then to FBI courses and end up with raids on Dot Com being perpetrated on behalf of a foreign power.

Yesterday Matthew Craig challenged on Facebook a sentence in my last blog in which I stated the current Labour led coalition ‘has no intention whatsoever of doing anything significant to reduce the gap between haves and the have nots’ . He then offered “ an incomplete list of just some of the things this Labour led coalition has achieved/is working on, in order to ‘reduce the gaps’, and help make this country a better and fairer place to live in”

George Orwell said, “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”

So let’s be absolutely clear – this Labour led coalition has no intention whatsoever of doing anything significant to reduce the gap between the haves and the have nots in our country which begs the question..

In my view, we tread a perilous path when we permit these matters to be effectively, swept under the carpet, because the revelations might be, too injurious to the public.

Last week, as you probably heard, the historic cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris unfortunately caught fire.
