I don't think you get it yet. That's a feature, not a bug. This govt and the left are all about destroying business. So from their perspective, it's working fine.

I watched a guy ‘working’ there just moving gravel back and forth between two piles with his little digger. Large numbers of people milling about in orange vests and hard hats. The whole thing has been an enormous boondoggle swallowing billions, why would you want to complete the project (ever) if you are one of the ones milking it for all its worth?
The Auckland gunman was on ‘home detention with an electronic bracelet’…and according to Coster, an exemption to go work at the CBD building site everyday.
Home detention: a great option that New Zealanders should have every confidence in. It’s like a jail sentence where you get to leave prison every week day for 8 or 9 hours.
Have a look on State Highway 58 between Pautahanui and The Hutt Road. There has been ongoing extensive roadworks there for the last 10 years with no let up. I drive it often and really don't know what they are doing there. But boy is it costing a hellova lot of money.
It’s the ‘neoliberalism’ (simply, lack of regulation) of the public service and government. Just a complete lack of oversight and any efficiency targets at a granular level. Ministers only know what they are told by department heads, department heads only know what they are told by managers, and on it goes. All of them sending flurries of e-mails and attending untold meetings, all of them convinced that if only they spend more money and hire more people all our problems will be solved. Thousands of puffed up Don Quixotes, endlessly tilting at windmills.

Teen Mob member who broke into home and sexually assaulted pregnant woman gets home detention
Quote:
A teen Mongrel Mob member who broke into the home of a pregnant woman and indecently assaulted her in the bed she was sharing with her child has been sentenced to 12 months home detention.
Napier man Stevie Taunoa, 19, thanked Judge Gordon Matenga after receiving the sentence on Thursday morning then walked from the dock into the police cells and yelled “Cracked it”.
Taunoa was 16 years old when he committed the offence shortly after midnight on December 28, 2020.
Seems fairly happy Gangland chappy with scoring a bit of Home-D for Crime doesn't he ? ;)
Obviously severely disadvantaged and on the day the Beak must have had just too many Home-D Be Good passes left in the drawer ;)
Speechless. So terribly sad that this sort of crime - actually a horrifying one, the woman woke up to find an intruder in her home - is treated as almost inconsequential. The terror this person would have felt is indescribable; fear for her life, fear for the life of her unborn child. In the event she was sexually violated by an intruder. She would have passed that trauma through to her unborn child. It’s a wonder she didn’t miscarry.
And then we read that the home invader and sex offender ‘thanked the Judge’ and crowed that he’d “cracked it”. He’s actually jubilant. No remorse. Serious criminals are laughing at our justice system and the farce that is ‘home detention’.
Cracked it indeed! Gets to go home, play video games all day, get high and dream of his next rape.
Do scum on home detention get the dole too?
Remember, the ideology of the Left is that he’s the real victim, while the middle class that gets predated on by criminal scum are routinely described as ‘wealthy’, ‘privileged’, or ‘selfish’.
There is a lot of sinister subtext in the language used by the Left, language that gives a tacit signal to low-lifes that they can attack those ‘privileged’ people who - through personal effort and the assuming of societal obligations - are living decent and purposeful lives.
In the event scumbag criminal offenders are caught, they are often treated with kid gloves & given all sorts of sentence ‘discounts’ for mainly spurious reasons.
