@taniwharugby The house next door is managed by an agency, and they have put in a procession of the worst fucking dregs you can imagine over the years. I'm talking loud parties, feral dogs, smashing bottles and screaming fights, kids who scaled the fence, broke into my bathroom and stole my entire make up bag, took it home and buried the contents throughout their vegetable garden...
Fuck me days.

@mokey yea we had eggs thrown at our place, bottles, cigarette ashtrays emptied over the fence, police cars...one was ex gang member so that was fun going round st 2am telling them their music was too loud.
When I called noise control they were told I was just racist.
After we moved I got called to jury service and the daughter and father were part of the trial...

I've worked on a lot of rentals over the years that have had varying degrees of punishment from the ferals that rented them out . I can understand people getting out of the rental market if tenants get even more rights which is going to mean an even smaller pool of houses available .
Bottom line is if you're a good tenant who looks after the house your landlord is going to want to keep you to avoid the hassle of finding a new tenant and hoping that they look after the place as well as you. If you're a scumbag you're pretty much fucked now, there was a story a while back about a slumlord in Auckland who bought an industrial building and divided it up into one bedroom units . There were families living in them that couldn't find a place to rent due to their history of shitty behaviour in other places they'd rented.

All this blue sky talk, road shows and consultants. Just an excuse to not talk about metrics, and actually doing anything of substance

Why steal makeup rather than valuables? Unless they were girls who knew the value of makeup..but then why plant it in the vegetable garden? Were they hoping to grow more makeup? How did you find out it was them and that it was now in the vege patch?

First the nurses, now the teachers. It's early days before the next election but I hope these two hotbeds of labour support respond in kind and fuck them up at the polls next time around.

@rembrandt They were primary-school aged kids, so I think they just grabbed what they could reach. The vege garden was a hiding place. I managed to get after them reasonably quickly, because I heard the crash of the bathroom window level against the sill, and the sound of running feet. So I knew more than one, and probably not adults. On a hunch I went next door and found the father in the driveway. I asked if kids had just come running past. He said yes. I explained what had happened, and he called them over. They lied for quite a while, and then my ex-teacher's voice broke out, and their memory improved. The little boy brought my make up bag back, which was half empty. I asked where the rest was. They lied again and said that was it. So teacher's voice turned grumpy teacher's voice and memory improved again. They went and found a few of the items. Again lied and said that was all. I was getting seriously shitty at that stage. The dad told me to calm down, but the mother and grandmother started digging in the vege patch and found all the remaining items. I felt sorry for the grandmother, because she was just visiting, and it was obvious she was absolutely mortified by what the kids had done, and kept apologising. The parents didn't say a thing.

They're not far off with that statement. I wouldn't remove prisons, but having some good mates involved in the process, I'm with Bill English having prisons as a 'fiscal and moral failure'.
I wouldn't shut them down. But people who go to prison don't have good outcomes. And, arguably, it results in more crime when they come out.
Some bastards need to be kept away from society.

If they had of said they were behind literacy programs and job training and reducing recidivism etc etc and stopped right there rather than talking about shutting down prisons I wouldn’t be mocking them. But they are a bunch of muddle headed far left loons .
Slightly off tangent what do others think of private prisons ?

@nzzp problem is, some of them are simply bad eggs, whether they are petty thugs or just break ins, shoplifting etc, there is no helping some of them, but you cant keep these ones locked away for ever, whereas murderers, rapists, kiddie fiddlers, should be locked away, whereas some arent.
TBH I am not sure there is a perfect system?

Not a good idea IMO. You don't want a business that needs people to be in prison to survive, opens up a path for corruption with Judges being paid to send people away (as has happened in the US).
