Police Raids has affected Public Image
Recent police raids on gun law violations which for some reason saw fit to use terrorism laws to arrest 17 suspects. 72 veteran protester and trade unionist Jimmy O'Dea had his home searched in a case of alleged kidnapping. It would appear that the actual criminal used mr O'Dea's address - sort of phishing for the tech unaware crook, maybe? Mr O'Dea has recently protested at the "anti-terror" raids so naturally the execution of a search warrant seems a little far to go before the police realised the crook was conning them. Perhaps a little more investigation instead of reacting with "force" may prevent people being terrified the police will be breaking into their bedrooms anytime soon.
Helen Clark has been accused of being Muldoonist - and I do not want to be the one who says Blairish. It may work in America and it may work in the UK - but it won't work here.
New Zealand is a country of fierce pacifists, not lazy warmongers. Yes the terrorism bill being debated has no serious challenge from Labour or National. By softening the electorate with the idea of Napalm is alarmist and if it is true then the evidence must be there.
