This Labour government has been an absolute disaster.
Nothing new there.
the Govt appears to be NOT dealing with crrime. We have a granddaughter who basically got told by the lawyers to drop the charge against a Maori boy who had strangled her... of course she felt under pressure and walked away.. One day .. down the track ... he will do that again... Shes the wrong colour and of course is racist if she asks for justice.
The way Rudy Guiliani cleaned up New York should be a model for stopping the lawlessness all over this country.
And 20+ years later had to publicly apologise to the wokesters because the "Stop and frisk" policy (which essentially eliminated the crime epidemic) unfairly targeted minorities.
NYC has been corporatised, nullified, neutered. I grew up there and wandered the entire city as a boy from Wellington in the late Sixties when it almost went bankrupt. Much more interesting then.
Guiliani is nothing more than a crook, and stop looking to the US for solutions they're the forefront of their own problems.
The escalation of anti-social/criminal behaviour has come from ‘emergency housing’ in Dixon st and Manners Street.
Well said and about time too!! My wife and I are both Wellington born and bread, neither of us can understand the destruction of our once Fantastic city. It is awful walking around the areas you mentioned. Some how the people we elect must be made to answer for their actions. It is time these people fronted up on shows like yours and address these concerns. Thank you for your professionalism and integrity.
It was intended to be
Bred.unless of course you ARE Bread.
Re open mental health institutions, these people really need help. The cop on the beat is needed as a physical reminder of law and order. Thanks for this Sean, it had to be said.
Obviously not enough cops to walk the streets.
Same thing in Christchurch. In New Brighton they dumped homeless people in a backpackers. One guy in the mall wanted to take a swing at me when I wouldn't buy him a $50 packet of cigarettes. The new police station isn't open to the public.
Thanks for talking about this Sean. This is a big problem in Wellington. Purely anecdotal but I lived in Victoria St for 18 months before recently going overseas. Saw a lot of antisocial behaviour and experienced a lot of thefts from our nearby apartments. I saw police on the street once in this area the whole time. Its mind boggling as to why. Its obviously a deliberate policy though.
One way to help with the lawlessness would be the return to having the “community constable” model .
I fully agree with everything you said. Police aren't police anymore, they're social workers, there are also too many woman in the police force, who the hells going to be scared of them or listen when the know they can overpower them in 2 seconds. It's a joke.
They built a men's shelter in upper hutt and now our city is full of bums sitting around with shopping carts and signs. Lived here 37 years and never ever seen anything like it.. put them in the military. All of them, if you can't be a productive part of society, into the army you go.
Increase the drug squad, give more power to Customs, Dog handlers etc. Crush the meth labs.
I beg to differ on your comment about cops being social workers. They're more interested sitting on the side of the road collecting taxes or speeding between Upper and Lower Hutt. Unfortunately a do goer openned the Upper Hutt mens shelter and I suspect he's not aiding their social needs but willingly taking your taxpayers dollars and doing very well from providing the accomodation. Yesterday I was accosted by one of the men behind the old Pizza Hutt. I thought of offering to buy him a meal, but smartly dismissed the idea. Next time I'm thinking of telling him to p... off to WINZ. When I returned another had joined him loudly speaking with profanities. Sean it locks like your glue sniffing kids have grown up and move to the burbs. Sean we always love your podcasts, it's a pity other journalist can't get out from under Cindy's clutches. Cheers Ken & Sue
You may be interested to learn that female police officers have an ability to de-esculate potential out bursts of violence. They aren't loaded up with testosterone as are male officers and offenders. They do good work and receive the same training as any other police college graduate. I clear six feet even - my wife 5'.2". She learned Judo in her teen years. She can flip me over on my back before I even realize what's happened.in this instance size doesn't matter.
I don't mind tax money going to people who are struggling, not addicts and criminals!
Exactly Sean, what the hell is happening, and like you said, someone has to die before they will do anything.
To clean up the anti social behaviour, then the government is required to work with police and give them the tools to do the job. Begging, is very intimating, so make it unlawful. The police can arrest anyone begging, courts have power send them to prison. So maybe 3 months inside with no drugs, is their problem. What are your thoughts on this matter. John.
if you are happy to pay for that
@@totaldomination3732 what price would put on cleaning the streets, of nz. Maybe a raft of offences, need to be covered. Maybe just pass a new anti social behaviour act 2023 then different sections, can relate to different types of offensive behaviour. When a junkie has to do cold turkey, for 3 months, it will have an effect on future behaviour.
Even small towns are having these problems
Its always annoying to me that if you go to the centre of any city there's a row of bums sitting on the street as if they own it; the exact centre. I've been homeless and its not difficult to live that way without being a nuisance and a poser.
It saddens me to hear Manners St is no longer a mall. I used to enjoy drinking there with my friends back in the 90's.
The street kids were too interested in glue to be a problem.
Yes it is happening all over the country, and to people who you wouldn't think would normally go for drugs. Meth causes the aggressive behavior. I have been the recipient of such an interaction myself and it is scary because you can cross someones path who has been doing meth and not realize they are high until something agitates them then is all on.......I fully expected incidents to eccellerate over the last two years or more. When people don't feel in control of their lives they go out of control. Honestly this gvt is mostly to blame.
I saw a guy kissing a pole and licking it opposite mcdonalds in the middle of the day. The state of it is astounding.
thats methed up..
MSM journalists; they’re the pits.
did the pole have a working visa or visitor's permit?
💯. People cannot walk, go about their work in fear of these people.
The police seem to refuse to enforce the laws in NZ anymore; yet no one is holding them to account
house them all in the beehive
Love it 😂
Only one other place in the world I've been where I felt as likely to get assaulted or robbed as most cities in New Zealand. Bring back child and school discipline, the problem is kids growing up with the legal system supporting their stupidity. Police who are treading on any innocent person who reacts to protect themselves. It's about kicking little shits in the ass to teach respect as they grow up. Now we have this huge problem, nothing in our woke nancy legal system is able to fix it for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Police with guns acting like thugs is only making it worse as now no one respects them or trusts them.
Time to get the naughty stick out and swing it vigorously......
Same in AUSTRALIA!
All a distraction from what's really happening!
Yeah there's a hotel that's been infamous for the same thing in Westport for years
PLAN- DEMONIC
No it's not just Wellington and it's not just Labour and it's not just NZ.
Here's my two cents. Let's call it a "canary in the mine" moment.
A short while ago, my wife & I were in the Albany Mall during Thursday lunchtime. As we were walking out, my wife stopped to look at the Michael Hill jewellery window, at which time I glanced around & noticed how open the store, how close it was to the large double door entrance, & how on looking about, there didn't seem to be any security guards around. This was front of mind as the Hamilton jewellery store had been robbed a few days before.
Joining me again was my wife & as we shared our thoughts, we were approached by an elderly shop assistant, & like my wife, she was South African (I'm a born & bred Kiwi). I asked her where the security guards were & she responded that they were about. I assumed they were plains clothes guards that blended into the crowds so as to not spook the customers. Both my wife & the shop assistant lamented how bad things had gotten & how life in NZ was becoming like what they thought they had left behind in South Africa. We chatted some more & left, not thinking much more about this.
Imagine our shock when on the next evening (Friday), the same jewellery store is robbed. This was getting close to home & quite disconcerting to say the least.
But this is where it gets weird. The next morning I was reading the Herald news & somewhat juxtaposed on the news feed of my phone, was an article about Adern modelling on a catwalk in Wellington at around the same time as the jewellery store was being robbed. It struck me how contrasting these two articles were.
Was this a "canary in the mine" moment, telling her & us all that something was very wrong & a sign of things to come?
We've been back to the same Micheal Hill jewellery shop & the shop assistant is nowhere to be seen.
Curious then that a few weeks later, my wife & I are again lamenting how bad things seem to be. We make a prediction that someone is going to be severely harmed or killed if something doesn't quickly change.
Imagine our shock, when in Ardern's own electorate, where we live (Mount Albert), a young man tragically looses his life, his wife looses a husband, & his parents loose a son, his siblings loose a brother, & the community looses a good hard working man.
The ghost of the innocent canary in the mine warning has come visiting, but still, the message isn't getting through, even when it' so close to home in Ardern's own back yard.
Now, we're left wondering & yet again lamenting, what's next? How bad does it have to get? How many innocent canaries in the mine signs does our PM need, before Ardern get's off the ideological catwalk & becomes a true leader to all the hard working NZ'ers whose lives she & her cohorts are putting at risk through their inaction?
South Africans, huh? It’s one of my greatest regrets not to have done more to keep South Africans out of my beloved country.
@@brutallyremastered4255 I know heaps of South Africans and I don't recall any of them being dishonest violent or criminals. Nesrly all of them have families, work hard, participate in the community and go to church lmao
I recall Manners Street in the 1960s. Some big shops, a cinema, a number of restaurants but little housing. It was probably the poshest shopping street in Wellington. Few students, no scum. Most students drank at the George in Willis Street.
Man that’s going back. I only really remember early 80’s yet I was around for some of the Sixties and Seventies.
Nah ,the Duke!
First of all stop there dole,then throw em in jail,
Inverse gentrifiction
There's a tug of war between compassion and tough love here. Unfortunately, compassion allows rotten behaviour to continue. New Zealand needs smaller government, lower taxes, increased freedom for good and peaceful citizens with handcuffs for the bottom 10% that want to wreak havoc on their lives and mine.
What you call compassion, I call egoism
the Police somply need to do thier jobs inder the penal
code and the courts simply follow up 🤷♀️ none of its rocket science …
There is no quick solution to this. What has to be reversed is the compulsory school leaving age and the minimum wage. Both these factors were introduced over the decades by left-leaning governments. It meant that kids were forced to swallow a further year of education which many don't want and quite frankly don't need - you can argue about this till the cows come. But the constant drive on establishing an ever-increasing minimum wage also means that employers simply can't afford to pay louts of 17 years old and above to learn the ropes, louts who have no experience in any activity other than sitting in a classroom pushing a pen.
Agree. Won't go to Wellington
That’s part of the plan
Spot on Sean. Our city is crumbling and I have no hope with our new council.😂
well said it is so bad i will not even skateboard there and that is really saying something, these people are struggling, it is opening are hearts
The police oatof office is to protect life and property but we ae none of this being enacted by this police commissioner Andrew Coster
I got arrested n charged for assaulting 2 crackheads that were standing over a couple young ladies in town they got let go it's not the first time they have done something like that the cops do nothing so I did n yet I get charged
Uncle Alberts Attic night club Sunset the Hungryhorse
I have a hand made wooden light shade from the Jade Gardens
Move yhem out
Manner Mall not the same remember used to played chess table and many more.
I blame this on this creepy government,we need someone with a backbone,someone with the guts and will to stop NZ going down the gurgler.i fear for my Moko.
will for starters we need a political party thats works for NZ and its peoples best interests and not the vile evil globalists best interests because they are behind all the worlds problems
Well said 👍
My uncle told a story after he returned from the attrocities of war while on his way into a drinking house in Cuba Mall was accosted by a pretty young thing in sweet bonnet and bows banging her tambourine and proceeded to tell him " jesus saves" "Even a wretch like me?" he asked " yes you too can be saved" " what about those skantily clad girls of ill repute over there?"
"yes he will save even them too"...."Good then get him to save me one for when i come out of the pub at closing time tonight !!!"
I have seen the woke banning of smacking as the problem. We were loved as kids and smacked when we deserved it. It brought us back into line. We knew the rules and yet tested the boundaries, we got smacked and grew up with respect for each other and authority. Police were trusted and a teacher's word was to be hung on. We loved Mum and Dad dearly and respected them and never backchatted them. They worked hard providing for us and we had many hard but good times and experiences and holidays. We were caned at school or strapped and we had respect for fairness and authority. There was never correct teaching on how to smack. The baby was thrown out with the bathwater when some drunken disfunctional minority phukwits ( yes it only takes a .01 % er to instigate a law change that affects 99.99 % of law abiding society) tortured their children with boiling water or severe bruisings and broken bones from sadistic beatings to death. Rendering the age old animal kingdom training method of a quick sharp shock to remember the lesson now illegal. We unanimously voted against the expensive anti smacking law reform and yet the govt bulldozed it through regardless...what a waste of time money and effort that was. the experiment has failed.
america's free expression experiemnt has also failed.
what would you rather have ? your 1 year old badly burned for life from an inquisitive desire to put their hand on a hot element or a smack on the back of the hand to associate it with pain accompanied by " no don't do that!!" then the safety of a protective hug and a reward for not getting burnt, ( healthy biscuit or favourite fruit) . what about a kid told not to run out into the traffic??.... have a dead flat kid?? or one with a sore hand or bottom because it disobeyed ?? and tried.
We were taught to discipline older kids who jointly negotiated the punishment to go to the room and think about what they had done wrong, and what they might do differently next time and how they might avoid getting punished again. this time- buffer gave a cooling off pereiod so we didn't smack out of anger and use a force totally wrong and unbefitting the crime. We learnt smacking wasn't the only tool, there were denial of priviledges and removal of favourite passtimes or possessions, groundings, loss of points on motivation charts, etc. etc.
we also made a point of catching the child doing something good and rewarding or praising for that rather than just focussing on negative and punishing for bad rewarding for good worked amazingly well. building self esteem and self confidence with horizon expanding outings and new interests and clubs and hobbies and skills learnings, art, music, computing, sports etc. pets horses, farm trips, beach,tramping, boating sailing surfing, fishing
I went on a school camp once that had a police confidence course attached that all the naughty kids attended and loved but didn't appreciate. We were told our good kids need to experience as well as it's not good to see the bad delinquent kids getting all the attention and priviledges and handouts as they almost saw it as a punishment for being good while the schidts had this lavished on them for being bad. woke programs and rewards and phsycobable poor lowersocioeconimc low decile disadvantaged excuses only purpetuate the problems. and as for smashing down and removing a toilet block because the council is too lazy to clean it and the police too lazy to monitor it and remove the drug delinquents and lowlife destructive phukwits, only punishes the 99% of good citizens who now don't have a convenience they paid for with their taxes.
Prison is corporal punishment that is still legal but it seems is no longer a deterent. woke do gooders have made it a secure place of routine and great food and reward programs, fellow gang members have made it a place seen as a badge of honour not a place of shame to have been sent to. A recruiting ground for young impressionable kids still trying to discover who they want to be and are, - still trying to forge their identity and personality and way in life.
Find out what hurts them what would be a good deterent and what motivates them to do good. what about chemical castration?? or sterilisation??? as some drug phukked recidavists are brain fried and beyond redemption and and even if rehabilitated remain vegetables and should simply not be allowed to breed.
The aggressive anti social people living in social housing shouldn't be allowed to stay there. It should only be for people who don't cause huge problems in the community.
Maybe you should call in your favourite riot squad to get rid of the River of Filth in manners street eh ?
Maybe we should move them in next to you?
NZ 2022, a hellhole in the making.
Vote Trump.🙌💪
Bring back the birch and stocks .
Shameing these delinquents in front of their peers might tame them somewhat.
“The setup” 👎
To get serious first wouldn't you need a police force instead of the social just brigade with a natty uniform we've got now. I now what i just said is unfair as the police are just the front of house staff who always get blamed for the rules made by their bosses who are doing what the government of the day want. It must be so frustrating to be policing in today's environment with you hands tied and a target on your back.
Hands weren’t tied behind their backs when they were punching protesters. Bullies are always cowards
We need to keep them SAFE, with wrap around social services. Ayyeee ! This is to the CLOWNS, RED & GREEN in the beehive. Get real, F.F. SAKE.🤭🤭
👍👍🤭🤭
