Hysterical Hipkins

Chris Bishop notes:

Wow. Hipkins asked on radio why we don’t hear about ram raids any more and if they’ve stopped happening:

Direct quote – “Nah it’s cause your Tory owners at NZME have just decided not to put it on the front page any more. It’s still happening, it’s just NZME have decided that it’s not in the Government’s best interests and they do the National Party’s singing for them and so they’re not covering it as much any more.”

For those interested, there were 714 ram raids in 2022, 495 in 2023, 209 in 2024 and thus far 45 in 2025.

Hipkins directly accuses the NZ Herald of being biased and in the pocket of the Government. When Winston has done similiar sledges in the past, the media run days and days of stories lamenting it and comparing him to Donald Trump. Will they do the same here? Will the Disinformation Project condemn this disinformation?

It’s all rather pathetic and desperate for a former Prime Minister and leader of a major political party.

And for those bad with numbers, that is a 94% reduction in ram raids. So maybe the actual question should be why the media aren’t reporting this huge decrease!
