&quot;With crime down 30% since National took over&quot;

Oh really, Andrew?

And yet our prisons have more prisoners than ever?

And Police have been found doctoring crime stats?

You really are a sycophant for your masters, aren&#039;t you??]]></description>

Andrew, if you look closely at National policy you will find they do use relative measures of poverty. In fact you will find a general consensus between all parties that absolute measures are nothing but absolutely inadequate.

The Herald and Jamie Whyte have been crying over spilt milk, we left absolute measures behind decades ago. lol]]></description>
