Seymour: let's not make "assumptions" that a serious food safety incident is the responsibility of a company with a record of food safety incidents so bad that officials strongly warned against contracting it. Maybe it was the person who reported it! What a prick. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchu...

Sure feels like crime has gone up under this National coalition. Another aggravated robbery in Chch this morning. Higher shoplifting rates. More burglaries.

While Luxon and Bishop are busy scrapping over who gets the top job, the rest of us are worrying about keeping our own. Instead of fighting for power, they should try fighting for a fair go for the ordinary people paying the price for their mess. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/the-bulletin...
