A brave mother and daughter were bruised after a gutsy attempt to stop hammer-wielding offenders as they fled the scene after robbing the Ellerslie Jewellers & Engravers jewellery store in Auckland. “Like hell” they were getting away with it, Lesley said. The two women ran after the group of
When you hear the word paedophile, what picture pops into your head? It is a creepy middle-aged man, wasn’t it? Probably a priest, too. It almost certainly isn’t a nice female teacher in her 30s. But in a growing number of cases – an “epidemic”, according to some
It’s almost like something out of a Dan Brown thriller: a web of corruption, conspiracy, frame-ups and murder, reaching all the way from the Vatican to the halls of power in Melbourne. Even cardinals aren’t safe, if they get too close to unmasking the conspiracy. If that

There has been much argument over the Albanese government’s decision to secretly smuggle “ISIS brides” into Australia — and more-or-less turn them loose in suburbs. Often suburbs where a high proportion of their former victims have settled. Supporters argue that the jihadis shouldn’t be punished for making
Remember when Melbourne didn’t have a problem with violent African gangs? Just ignore all those violent crimes committed by African “networked criminal offenders”. And of course you should believe the police commissioner when he says that Africans weren’t over-represented in violent crime. I mean, it’s not
A staff member at prestigious Wellington school Scots College has been arrested and appeared in Wellington District Court on Thursday morning charged with assault. The saga at the school has been ongoing since May with the staff member suspended on full pay since the time of the complaint, pending the
The SIS and their little helpers at the Disinformation Project issued a set of things that help identify potential terrorists and spreaders of disinformation. They include being into yoga, knitting, using Instagram and Pinterest, and braiding children’s hair with flowers. Also knitting sweaters for goats was in there somewhere.
While the brow-furrowing Establishment is warning New Zealanders to keep a distrustful eye on little white girls with braided hair and flowers, there’s a very real wannabe terrorist fronting court. Something tells me he isn’t likely to be into children’s clothing unless it’s Size 6
Why can’t we deport people like this young man? He clearly hates non-Muslims who make up the majority of New Zealand’s population. He poses a clear and ongoing danger to our safety. If he is a citizen revoke his citizenship. I don’t care if he ends

The Police have admitted that they issued more than $20,000 in fines to people illegally entrapped by their window-washer scam. How about a refund then? The sting was illegally conducted and therefore the proceeds of illegal entrapment – the fines and summary offences – are likewise illegal. Police have handed
When is a gang not a gang? When it’s a group of “networked criminal offenders”. When is a random attack not random? When it’s “random” but “believed to be linked”. When is ethnic-based crime not ethnic-based crime? When media and police won’t tell you what
A cynic would see this announcement as a way to silence critics of the government before the election. We already know that they are unable to define “hate speech”, and Jacinda Ardern says we will “know it when we see it”, which means that no one can say anything without
Stuart Smith National MP Kaikoura Below is Stuart Smith’s response. Since Labour took office in 2017 crime has increased at a rapid pace. New Zealanders across the country do not feel as safe as they once did, and front-line police are under immense pressure as crimes not only
