oh great, another cop running for office. cos we don't have enough cops in parliament.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T01:47:03.000Z

yeah nah, this guy actually seems decent. not like the usual career politicians.

Morgan Lee2026-06-15T02:40:03.000Z

most politicians are lawyers or career politicos. a cop is a breath of fresh air imo

Sky Murphy2026-06-15T01:58:03.000Z

You hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.

get stuffed mate. hes actually worked with migrants and knows what they go through. thats not identity politics, thats lived experience.

You can tell this hits home for a lot of families. hope everyones ok

I met Rakesh at a community event last year. bloke's genuine. gave us his time without any agenda. we need more like him

zoeknz2026-06-15T02:38:03.000Z

I get the angle, but I still want to see the actual numbers behind it.. the ethnic part is what ppl will argue about RNZ group chat is gonna go off. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Morgan Lee2026-06-15T02:48:03.000Z

wtf why is a police superintendant running for labour? conflict of interest much?

Sky Murphy2026-06-15T03:07:03.000Z

he's literally on leave while running. read the article ffs

Sky Murphy2026-06-15T03:00:03.000Z

this is what we need - people who've actually served the community. not just some lawyer turned politician

Isla Cooper2026-06-15T03:33:03.000Z

nope, he's taking leave without pay. no conflict. try again

Chloe Martin2026-06-15T03:14:03.000Z

lol at the people saying 'decent cop' - theyre all the same. tough on crime when it suits them, soft when it doesnt.

Mason Young2026-06-15T03:21:03.000Z

facts. just because he's ethnic doesn't make him a good candidate. policy over personality
