Oh, NZFirst now admit we won’t get 500 new police – maybe less culture war hate and more actually doing your job?
Oh, so now Winston admits we won’t be getting 500 new Police…
Coalition concedes it will miss police recruitment target
Coalition ministers have conceded they will not meet their target of hiring 500 extra police officers by November.
In the National-NZ First coalition agreement, the Government set a target of recruiting an extra 500 officers within its first two years in power.
But on Tuesday, both NZ First leader Winston Peters and Police Minister Mark Mitchell conceded they wouldn’t hit that target.
…which is funny because you will remember when MarK Mitchell originally said the 500 new cops wouldn’t be met last year that Winston blew his fuse…
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters says police should read the Government’s coalition agreement after Police Commissioner Richard Chambers warned MPs it could take longer than two years to train an extra 500 officers as promised.
It comes as Police Minister Mark Mitchell claims he and Chambers are aligned on the Government’s target to train 500 extra officers by November next year, despite Chambers’ comments.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon yesterday threw his support behind what he described as an “ambitious” goal but reiterated Chambers’ commitment to prioritise the quality of trained officers over hitting the target.
…maybe if Winston spent more time on things that matter, like 500 new Police, and less time on culture war hate, we’d have more focus on the things that matter rather than the anti-trans, anti-vaccine, climate denying malice!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Winston has been chasing 500 extra police since 1996. They’ve never materialized.That dead horse has bolted – you may as well stop flogging it.
He is going to need more than 500 new police to stand guard outside of every public restroom in NZ. What a muppet.
Winston can resign the same day as his bull shit filled mate Mitchel who has now missed two of his only two targets.Mitchel said he would resign if he failed to reduce violent crime and recruit 500 more cops .HE took country cops and put them in Auckland to lower crime ,now we see a murder nearly twice a week
And now Winston is bemoaning the standard in the house. He never thinks that it is he that massively contributes to disorder with his throwaway dismissive one liners and his personal attacks. He may have once been a reasonable politician, now he’s a daft old prick( Cun’#@!)
Well practised political art – Look over there!
Unable to keep election promises. DISTRACTION = Personal attacks on individual’s sexuality and genders.
Massive Maori reaction against altering the Treaty of Waitangi DISTRACTION.=Big uproar about Parliamentary protocols.
Coalition uses underhand methods to keep women poorly paid DISTRACTION = Shouting about use of the word cunt.
Invite TDB readers to give other examples.
and where are the new ferries you old coot .No boats sunk the ones that were being delivered next year and like the extra cops you poked your nose in so she unloaded it on you because she knew you could talk shit all day everyday .
He’s like Seymour. Pokes his nose into everything, thereby giving it the kiss of death.
