This week's recommendations:
Marc - A telling article from the US on Heatmap about that country’s troubles building one big power line:
Laura - An Associated Press backgrounder on what led to thousands storming Kenya’s Parliament in what started as disputes over new taxes and ended up in a deadly clash
Tim - Geoffrey Palmer’s speech we carried on Newsroom: NZ is an executive paradise, not democratic paradise
-------------------------------
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon doesn’t care if you say a policy works or doesn’t work - he’s damned well going to get on with it anyway.
The Raw Politics team this week examines the Prime Minister’s exasperation with calls for ‘evidence’ to back his policies, and his need for momentum on law and order policies, from boot camps and beat cops to three strikes.
The panel of Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, senior political reporter Marc Daalder and co-editor Tim Murphy also goes looking for answers and any stashes of billions of dollars to solve the Cook Strait ferries dilemma.
And we ask who would be happy with this week’s 1 News Verian poll, a post-Budget survey that finds almost all the parties right back where they were on election night.

Great criticise all you like BUT what do YOU think should happen! How will YOU feel when your place is ram raided! stolen ...Lets hear your ACTION suggestions Babble don't cut it!

National and the coalition have not progressed Labour's bill which went through its first reading in August. The bill increased penalties and lowered the age of offenders.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

Police could get drones to patrol city streets. One officer viewing many things quickly. No imagination or inventive thinking by the 68 MPs.

The tax cuts or the landlords $3bn subsidy could have paid for the ferries and land infrastructure. Its simply very poor policy choices.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

@ooo-vc4xl Without doubt. The increased deduction could have started in 1 April 2026. Also, the fast track bill (Act ) could be used to quicken planning along with a special work permit for increased workforce just for this project even.

The political pool was interesting for the 11% of undecided (who can potentially decide an election outcome?) - is this reflective of previous polls or has the undecided numbers increased over the years?!

Labour should focus on household solar on each house with batteries and putting power into the grid. There are private companies which just want roofs to create their network.

Nationals desire for bootcamps is purely ideological playing on society's fear of crime. Really poor of Luxon to state we are going to implement bootcamps irrespective of the evidence. Research findings on the effectiveness of boot camps have been mixed. A study by the Billy Graham Youth Foundation and Impact Lab found that boot camps reduced reoffending in the first 18 months but that reoffending rates increased after two years. Another review by the Campbell Collaboration concluded that boot camps do not have a positive effect compared to other traditional forms of correctional practice when it comes to reducing criminal behavior. They found that boot camps are equally ineffective regardless of the type of criminal behavior committed by the young person, their age, or gender.

Labour need to highlight the 2018 to 2023 data about crime and house building results.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

In August 2023, the Ram Raid bill was passed through its 1st reading. Lots of increased penalties and age changes . But the coalition has not progressed the bill.

They campaigned on a policy ... they are implementing the advertised policy. All the rest is 'yellow journalism". I don't anyone who lives in Central Auckland would agree with you that the amount of crime is overstated - perhaps this experience colours people's attitude and tolerance for property crime. Now that the Green MP has been convicted, perhaps crimes of clothing theft might be significantly reduced.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

The minister chose to speak of only what seem to be in support of their script.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

The minister did not make any comment on the two murder sentences.

The unsustainable net inbound immigration rate by successive govts has caused a significant part of the infrastructure deficit. We cant build our way out of it ($120bn++) with this immigration rate. However its funded, govt bonds or PPPs, the end user Kiwi pays for it. If it includes user pays then its regressive and the poor pay the most.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

In 2011, the National and its coalition sent a cook straight ferry to Singapore be made longer . They inserted extra meters in the middle. So may be a short fix solution.

@ooo-vc4xl 3 месяца назад

How to get better govt. a) lower the MMP threshold b) force all local & central govt projects/spending through socioeconomic cost benefit assessment that are publicly available before committing to the spending.

@ooo-vc4xl 3 месяца назад

There are no good times for the Government. Unemployment is forecast higher in 2026 than 2023, both election years

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

In the 1950s and 1960s we were better off. Lots government businesses provided great services to people. Now roads! Why is a private business not buying land to build roads and charge for the use. Given the concept supply and demand.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

Polls of voters votes generally show governments overall support is holding but growing.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

Why were the wharfs in Picton and Wellington not included fast track bill? ( no inventiveness by the cabinet).

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

Wharfs: Old days we had habour boards. These Harbour Boards could put a levy on the Harbour Board area. So if this had happened at low rate for a long time then the bank would be full of money.

@adsdft585 3 месяца назад

That is good fact about the journalism fund and court reporting.

Great discussion and coverage of the chosen topics. The article/transcript of Geoffrey Palmer's speech about government in this country is excellent and highly recommended Thanks guys :-)
