Greens announce their new crime policy is to pretend there is none!

An amazing interview at The Spinoff:

Swarbrick said she had regularly told Beck that contributing to a media narrative of the city centre being all “chaos and crime and knives and guns” resulted in less foot traffic, less vibrancy and less safety. “I have personally contacted Viv and spoken to her at a number of meetings about how I think that her approach, or I guess you could plausibly call it a strategy, is hugely detrimental to the city.

This just sums the Greens up perfectly. Rather than actually look to reduce violent crime, their stance is that people should just not talk about it, and then people will feel safer!

Who will be the Justice Minister in a Labour/Green/TPM Government? Tamatha Paul who wants to abolish police foot patrols or Chloe who just wants people to pretend crime doesn’t exist?
