    Wonder when Robertson and Labour will introduce measures like “Non-Accelerating Sea Level Rate of Unemployment”

    I fail to understand why the PM apologises on behalf of all New Zealanders for a young couples Tinder date gone horribly wrong. We all feel very sorry for the families affected but we are in no way responsible for this

    Sadly, New Zealanders are murdered every week and we dont have a Prime Minister apologising. In the absence of facts I have no idea what she is apologising for. Seems like every Tom, Dick and No-body is full of angst over this murder, but devoid of it for others.

    Might have something to do with her being a "wealthy" young white woman rather than a poor old black guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missin...woman_syndrome

    Ministerial diaries opened
    "There is a public interest in the meetings held by ministers and proactively releasing the summary information promotes accountability," Hipkins said.

    It follows his announcement in September that the Government would be proactively releasing Cabinet papers.

    Haha. What a joke for a Government where Ministers regularly forget to record their meetings, such as Shane Jones and Claire Curran.

    Jacinda should really be fired for bringing our poor country into disrepute. There she was, grandstanding and apologising for New Zealanders the other day for the unfortunate death of a foreign white woman. With her crocodile tears and all. There was no need to apologise. She be celebrating the fact that NZ is the second safest place in the whole world (just behind Iceland) according to the Global Peace Index - analysis used by NZ Police.

    Her sexist / racial bias was shining through. She was clearly ignoring the fact that more men are killed that women. Wheres the apology to men for their appalling death rate. What about Maori / PI's. More of them are killed than Europeans. And no apology to the Maori / PI community. To get on the PM's radar of self serving grandstanding it helps if you are a white woman. Which is why a death in Christchurch in the weekend gets no mention.

    Well said.

    While obviously every homicide is terrible and most are inexcusable, it is pretty distasteful that she appologises for this particular murder where the victim was a young white and foreign female but not for all the other murders happening in New Zealand under her watch.

    It appears that the other gender and other races and age groups are less deserving of her protection.

    Media profile of the victim and PM are the driver here.
