It would seem the deputy prime minister and the police minister aren’t on the same page.

Add the PM and Casey Costello to the list.

Was it the nation of Yemen that did it? What was the action against Yemen?

Palistine and Afghanistan seems to have the same issue in that that allowed terrorists to operate and got the consequences… fuck around and find out… just like Yemen is playing with now.

You can’t attack foreign vessels, even in your own waters without consequences. That’s an act of war vs seizing assets which is more a sanction.

Sanctions are technically an act of war.

'Could've expressed himself better': PM walks back comments by Police Minister about timeframe to recruit 500 officers

It comes after Mark Mitchell said the government would deliver 500 additional police officers over the term of this Government, which is three years.

Going to be interesting how becoming a police officer is going to be made an attractive career path by this government. They’ve been quiet on how they propose to address the visible gang patches they mentioned there would be a crackdown on and adding a potential confrontation for officers for a person to remove a vest might not attract many?

Never understood why morons want gang patches removed.

Thanks for making the Gangs undercover you dumbasses.

Personally as someone who actually grew up on the mean streets, I want the bangers flying their identifiers so I can quietly cross the road and avoid them.

Fark some people are stupid.

Why not make the terror suspects the SIS are tracking wear mormon get ups while you are at it you dumb fks.

The government is rolling back lending rules and requirements brought in by the last government including restrictions aimed at predatory pay-day lenders. The Commerce Minister Andrew Bayley is outlining the changes to the financial services sector right now. RNZ business editor Gyles Beckford...

PM says he's not aware of any minister receiving donations from tobacco lobby groups after grilling by Hipkins

The Prime Minister is confident everyone in his team is sticking by the rules.

www.newshub.co.nz

Interesting the not aware line. Usually means it’s exactly what’s going on but the leader plays dumb to ever knowing about it. Media have latched onto this and would expect much more digging to be done.

It will be interesting how this plays out. Hipkins has to have evidence or is it just a negative mud rucking smear campaign?

I hope there’s some substance or else Hipkins just needs to resign and get some fresh thinking if it’s going to descend baseless smearing.

I don’t support the smoking changes but claiming bribery needs backing up.

Lol. The new associated health minister lied, she's not getting the sack.... Hipkins throwing barbs in question time isn't going to cause him to resign.

Poor old Hipkins knows about baseless smearing, speculation he was gay because he announced his partners name Toni. Not that being gay smears his name.

The books are bad - but keeping stupid legislation that makes the economy worse still needs fixing. And it’s not a tax cut, it’s the ability to claim a legitimate expense.

It’s like a drug addict saying we can’t go clean because it’s going to have short term bad consequences… CUT OUT THE FAILED EXPERIMENT.

No other country denies interest deductibility, it wasn’t supported by treasury or IRD and it has resulted in the predicted huge rental increases and housing market distortions for no benefit. It’s wrong and dud policy.
