Re: gang members and patches, this was my comment on it elsewhere:
- Puts a $120m fiscal cliff over police after police say most of their budget is headcount and they don't have enough resources,
- Fudges 500 police count numbers,
- Offers police a lower pay offer than the one rejected from Labour did and makes them lose a pay arbitration with experienced cops rushing to Australia in an exodus
- gaslights police into doing more work, despite under-resourcing them
- publicly sides with a gun lobbyist over police just because police wanted to have a say on gun reforms
- Uses different easier crime targets to measure own performance (versus what they used to slam Labour with in opposition)
- Loosens criteria for police recruitment
- Tell police to pull back from mental health callouts with no back up resources
- Exacerbates cost of living crisis, cuts food banks, cuts budgeting services, reduces beneficiary income, and punches down on Maori and other groups such as the disabled and poor
-Cuts customs front line staff.
What could go wrong?
Note Brian Tamaki is allowed to wear his gang colours and Seymour previously promised if he was in government they would "man up" together.
