bloody typical, they've got money for consultants but not for the actual system that keeps us safe

Chloe Martin2026-06-25T17:52:56.000Z

bet the consultants are getting paid tho

Casey Adams2026-06-25T18:37:56.000Z

so we're just gonna keep relying on a system from the 90s while crime goes up? cool cool cool

NZ Herald2026-06-25T18:57:56.000Z

they're doing this on purpose so they can push for some privatised AI nonsense later, mark my words

Rowan Blake2026-06-25T19:14:56.000Z

facts, heard they had like 3 separate reviews instead of just buying the damn thing

Rowan Blake2026-06-25T19:15:56.000Z

my mate works dispatch and he says the current system crashes like 3 times a shift. absolute joke

Aria Wilson2026-06-25T20:07:56.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-06-25T20:15:56.000Z

Sage Lawson2026-06-25T20:24:56.000Z
