Casey Costello: The public can feel safer because the reality is crime is starting to go down

[@stevekinney7423]

Can someone please explain why convicted criminals are treated like royalty with free accommodation, meals, health care etc and yet the innocent victims are often left financially worse off, long term injuries etc. Something is not quite right ?

[@MaryAda-wj3dy]

To stevekinney7423 Ask the last govt. They were the do gooders who went oh dear, poor abused people let's just not prosecute and let them off the hook. Last govt were a pack of useless destroyers of our entire social system and our economy.

[@MaxMoetu]

Gun crime has surged since the law change, contradicting claims that the system is working. Implementation flaws and inadequate vetting procedures have compromised public safety. Furthermore, the deportation/immigration of individuals with serious criminal histories, who are then allowed to settle in New Zealand, raises concerns about the effectiveness of our vetting processes and highlights the need for urgent review and reform.

[@nikkster01]

you cant stop a NZ citizen from returning to NZ and you cant stop Oz 501 policy so what is your weird deportn comment about

[@Mark-g6l7i]

​@@nikkster01we could send the Aussie crims home

[@kimkay2196]

No gun crime went up under the labour government & there stupid gun buy back idea did nothing it took guns away from law abiding citizens & left them in the hands of criminal gangs

Considering every high end city store needs there own security guards... #thinkaboutit

[@giltee626]

Very simple. To protect their store. Think about it. The store gets robbed and by the police get there the robber is gone. It’s not the job of the police to be security guards.

[@kimkay2196]

To protect them from shoplifting green party mps 😂

[@lisac1619]

Crime is still way too high. This government needs to get serious. We've seen how quickly governments can implement changes when they really want to.

[@HazBerry]

Kia kaha NZFrist!

[@nikkster01]

[@milleniumfalcon8654]

[@Rebecca-nx5ec]

What is NZF doing about this GE legislation? What is your stance?

[@tonywood3660]

Yeah cause Costello has cut the tax rate on tobacco products and more people will die of cancers related to nicotine addiction...smart move. By the way what's with the karaoke sub tiltes? Rather childish actually....

[@AlanFitness-t3n]

Smoking tobacco can cause lung cancer & heart disease. There we have been told as written on the tobacco packaging as well. No secrets.

[@kimkay2196]

People choose to smoke no one forces them to start every one knows smoking is dangerous it's there personal choice to smoke if they get sick it's self inflicted

[@logicalanswer3529]

No one will die of cancers related to nicotine addiction who do not have one. Smoking happens by choice, not by accident.

[@lisac1619]

How about personal responsibility? You wouldn't know about that, eh comrade?
