Imagine needing a machete to rob a bar. Get a real job mate.

Labour's soft on crime strikes again. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.

Kai Thompson2026-07-23T00:35:56.000Z

how bout we invest in youth programs instead of just locking em up

New Lynn's gone downhill tbh. Used to be a quiet suburb.
