So the #4 Labour Police Minister in 1 year concedes that increases in crimes are not because of more reporting as she asserted to try and divert attention away from what a dismal failure this government has made of law & order in NZ.
But first, this is what the dumb Ginny tried to spin and BS NZers :
That crime isn’t up apparently, it’s just being reported more she says; and we feel safer because there are (almost) 1800 more cops on the beat.
Facts :
"Data analysed by Newshub shows recorded crimes in Auckland lept from 87,971 in the year to March 2022, to almost 110,000 this year.
In Wellington city, they're up from 9800 to 12,290, and in Christchurch city from 25,547 to 35,941."
"Of those arrested, more than half never got to court. Of those who did, barely a third got a sentence … and you wonder why they go back for more. We all know the story about the Government’s approach to prison - that’s why the numbers are down 20 per cent; they’ve been let out, they’ve got ankle bracelets, and the absconding on bracelets is up 90 per cent."

A man died after fleeing police in a car with a group who had just burgled a south Dunedin bottle shop of six crates of beer.
The manager of Bottle-O Hillside Rd, who declined to be named, said it was tragic someone had died following the burglary.
“What a waste for $300,” he said.
Two others who were in the car that fled police are seriously injured. Police would not immediately confirm if it was the driver or a passenger who had died.
What a shame .. never mind .. one less waste of space ..

Northland small business owner at wits’ end over theft
A small business owner in Northland is at the end of his tether after falling victim to crime despite closing down a dairy and opening a coffee shop in order to avoid being robbed.
Himanshu Sharma, co-owner of the Columbus Coffee cafe situated in the Mitre 10 building in Porowini Ave, Whangārei, is seriously contemplating shutting up shop and working somewhere as an employee rather than suffering at the hands of criminals.
A cash register in his cafe containing an undisclosed amount of cash was ripped out and taken away just before midnight on Friday together with a number of coffee cards and keys, but no damage was done.
The theft was discovered when a cash sale came through on Saturday morning.
“For five minutes after the discovery, I was pacing between the front counter and the kitchen, not knowing what to do. I had to change the keys and four locks. All up, I lost between $2000 and $3000,” Sharma said.
It’s not the first time he’s suffered losses while running a business.
Convenience stores he ran in central Whangārei prior to opening the Columbus Cafe about three years ago had been targeted on a number of occasions over the past six years.
Sharma said nothing has changed in terms of crime against businesses in these tough times. He employs 12 people.
“How long before I decide it’s better for me to leave the business and work elsewhere? I am close to reaching that point. My main aim of opening up a business was to give locals jobs, rather than get a job. But there’s nothing safe now. If they can steal from a cafe at night, tomorrow they’ll come in and steal during the day.
“Then they’ll go into clothes shops, barbershops, cookie shops.”
The theft is the latest in a string of Northland businesses being targeted by criminals.
