wtf is this, character attacks? mate the cops already have a bad look, now they push some Labour candidate through? classic

I reckon Mitchell’s just sticking up for his mate, but the candidate's record speaks for itself. Nah, I support the police but this stinks.

Jack Morrison2026-06-18T03:34:44.000Z

get stuffed mate, naidoo's done nothing wrong. it's just politics.

Sam North2026-06-18T03:45:44.000Z

as a former cop myself, this is a load of crap. we don't need political appointees. naidoo should step down.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-18T04:01:44.000Z

oh give it a rest, half the country's got a criminal record these days. leave the bloke alone 😒

naidoo is clearly a red herring, the real issue is our police force being underfunded. but nah, let's argue about a candidate instead.

Stuff2026-06-18T05:22:44.000Z

yeah nah underfunded but also corrupt. two things can be true lol.

Isla Cooper2026-06-18T04:58:44.000Z

character attacks are weak. if you can't handle the heat get out of politics. Mitchell's just deflecting.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T05:14:44.000Z

meanwhile my car got stolen last week and cops told me to file online. priorities eh.

Sam North2026-06-18T05:41:44.000Z

facts. naidoo should step down, or at least be transparent.
