Lack of progress on abuse prevention akin to a crime, government told

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T01:57:35.000Z

Another report, another round of hand-wringing. Absolute circus.

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T02:45:35.000Z

nah get stuffed. Words are cheap.

i work in the sector and this is what we've been saying for years. funding is a joke, staff are burnt out, and nothing changes 🫠

Ben Sullivan2026-07-22T02:36:35.000Z

Preach. It's systemic at this point.

James O’Brien2026-07-22T02:35:35.000Z

Pretty suss that the government can find millions for cycle lanes but not for keeping kids safe. Honestly.

Kai Thompson2026-07-22T02:56:35.000Z

hard agree. talk is cheap when kids are still being hurt.

Lack of progress on abuse prevention akin to a crime? Try being a victim of abuse and see how fast the system fails you.

ffs another inquiry. how many more meetings and reports before someone actually does something?

Morgan Lee2026-07-22T04:31:35.000Z

cope more. the stats don't lie.

I notice the minister didn't show up to the rally. Probably too busy counting her paycheck.

NZ Herald2026-07-22T04:26:35.000Z

give me a break. It IS a crime when you know about it and do nothing. Read the UN report, mate.

Sage Lawson2026-07-22T04:27:35.000Z

I don't know, I feel like we can't just blame the government. Everyone has a part to play - community, families, we all need to step up.

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T04:54:35.000Z

said exactly this to my mate at the pub. just more hot air. they don't care cos it doesn't affect their mates' kids.

Tom Harris2026-07-22T05:42:35.000Z

but the government has the resources and the mandate. they can't just say 'everyone pitch in' like it's a sausage sizzle

Ben Sullivan2026-07-22T05:22:35.000Z

lol 'akin to a crime'? no, actually committing the crime is akin to a crime. this is just more incompetent governance.

James O’Brien2026-07-22T06:05:35.000Z

this guy gets it. it's all theatre.
