Oh great, more laws to push vulnerable kids around. So much for being a 'fair go' country.

need tools to keep order. Talk to the people who live near these encampments.

Bit rich coming from a commissioner who probably hasn't had to deal with gangs camping on your street.

punishing people for being poor. Classic NZ.

What a load of shit. Just another way to criminalise poverty.

NZ Herald2026-07-18T00:58:48.000Z

I live near a park where people sleep rough. It's not safe for kids to play there. Something has to give.

Move them where? This is just sweeping the problem under the rug like always.

Eva Anderson2026-07-18T01:20:48.000Z

moving them on helps? Nah, just pushes them somewhere else.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T00:42:48.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Let's build actual housing instead of this nonsense.

Punishing children? Labour's been doing that for years with their failed policies.
