    Remember, they’re already close to one-third through their term, and
    still not, it seems, making worthwhile progress on getting rid of
    crime like they promised.

    Yes it is a tough act following 6 years of Labour presiding over progressively worse crime rates for 6 years. Look it up, that is a fact.

    They were crowing about a reduction in some crimes in Auckland CBD,
    but apparently that is because they took police from South Auckland,
    which has had an increase in crimes - the net result being worse
    results than before the last election. Their problem is that they are
    fighting more police going to Australia - they appear not to realise
    that having some police needing food bank assistance doesn't stack up
    against better salaries and working conditions in Australia . . . they
    don't understand market competition - only political donations and
    pay-backs . . .

    Crime is arguably the easiest problem to fix.

    The best way to reduce crime is to punish the criminals very severely.

    Prison sentences could even be shorter as long as they are so
    unpleasant that nobody would ever dare risk a repeat of the
    experience.

    Not a shred of evidence provided to support that. Just cojecture and political dogma.

    Sorry Bill but that approach has been tried and largely failed.
    Consider a burglar confronted by their victim. The burglar may as
    well murder the victim to reduce the probability of being caught.
    That's an extreme case but in general harsh sentences for minor crime
    result in more serious crime because the sentence is not much harsher.

    Yes it is a tough act following 6 years of Labour presiding over progressively
    worse crime rates for 6 years. Look it up, that is a fact.

    Interia plays a part in all of this. If the crime rates are going in the
    wrong direction and encouraged by the Labour Government's lowering of the numbers in prision then a "head of steam" is built up. The rates increase.

    It takes time to get on the brakes and slow things down. Only then can one start to decrease the rates.

    The Government may well not reach the target set, but as long as the numbers slow and then fall all is going as could be expeceted.

    From the article referenced above:
    "Its target of having 20,000 fewer people the victim of a violent
    crime has instead recorded 30,000 more victims as of June.

    The crime figures were based on the New Zealand Crimes and Victims
    Survey, which shows people's experience from up to two years ago.

    As of June, 214,737 people had experienced violent crime - the target
    was 165,000. The baseline was 185,000."

    I did not comment on the student achievement targets - are you more
    concerned with them than the crime statistics, Gordon?

    You are a as always offensive.
    As mentioned before, at least this government is showing some improvement whilst the last one consistently managed to increase crime evry year they were in power.

    Presumably “almost” does not include the big one: stopping crime.

    However we have this just in

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350418804/nearly-all-comanchero-gang-facing-charges-following-three-year-investigation

    So this investigation was in progress for 2 of its three years under the previous Government. So it was not all downhill on Labour's watch.

    No government, including this one, has ever promised to stop crime. WHJat planet were you born on?
    However your assumption is erroneous, it does include that a reduction (not a stopping of) crime.

    Since the article was carefully selected by you, does that make you a

    As the article points out this is a target that the government were
    seen to be at risk of missing. Why did you carefully pick that one
    out, Tony?

    Is that how NatActIrst is going to spend its entire term? Blaming the >>>>>>previous Government for not being able to do anything?

    ... they are doing immeasurably better in almost every metric.

    Presumably �almost� does not include the big one: stopping crime.

    That is where this thread started, with: >>>https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/09/16/govt-at-risk-of-missing-violent-crime-student-achievement-targets/

    from which: "Its target of having 20,000 fewer people the victim of a >>>violent crime has instead recorded 30,000 more victims as of June.

    The crime figures were based on the New Zealand Crimes and Victims >>>Survey, which shows people's experience from up to two years ago.

    As of June, 214,737 people had experienced violent crime - the target
    was 165,000 from two years ago. The baseline was 185,000."

    So target 20,000 fewer victims, actual result 30,000 more victims.
    Better than many will have expected for the current government . . .
    That is a carefully chosen single example. Typical marxist tactic.

    Since the article was carefully selected by you, does that make you a >Marxist?

    As the article points out this is a target that the government were
    seen to be at risk of missing. Why did you carefully pick that one
    out, Tony?
    Please do us all a favour and get some help.
    I have not posted a link or article at any time in this thread.
    Therefore you are either dumb or deliberately deceiving, if the first you need help and if the second you are clearly complaining about Lawrence who posted the article.
    Do try harder despite the unlikely event that anything of value will transpire.
