A more than 900 per cent spike in police call-outs to just five Rotorua emergency housing motels can finally be revealed after the Ombudsman ruled data requested by Stuff a year-and-a-half ago, which the police admitted “paints a very unattractive picture”, should be released. The numbers revealed that across five motels, which Stuff agreed not to name, there were just 46 call-outs over the whole of 2016. That figure rocketed in 2020 to 259 call-outs, spiking again the following year to 491 call-outs. The written ruling also revealed police sought to keep the figures private as “the data paints a very unattractive picture” for the motels involved. Rotorua people now know the extent of the effect dumping homeless people in motels has had on our town.”He also says he's “horrified” at the spike in call-outs revealed by the data.
A tarpaulin covers a car after it hit the Timaru Police Station last night. Photo: NZ HeraldA man has died after his car crashed "at speed" into the Timaru Police Station, where he had returned twice late last night. Aoraki Area Commander Inspector Vicki Walker said the man was then pursued "for a brief period" before the vehicle returned to outside the station. The vehicle then drove back towards the Timaru Police Station and struck the building at speed." The man died at the scene.
Stuff referred the matter to the Ombudsman and more than 18 months later, it ruled police should hand over the data. The numbers revealed that across five motels, which Stuff agreed not to name, there were just 46 call-outs over the whole of 2016. The written ruling also revealed police sought to keep the figures private as “the data paints a very unattractive picture” for the motels involved. Kettling the homeless into Motels with none of the real service wrap arounds was of course always going to fail.

The National Party wants more private investment and various forms of cost recovery to fund ambitious transport schemes as part of its election policy. The party accuses Labour of talking big but doing little about transport, in part because of its opposition to utilising private funding sources. "In contrast, National will accelerate investment in modern, world-class transport infrastructure," a supporting document issued by the party says. It is not clear what impact the National Party pledge will have on that $139.4 million plan. 'Costings way out of kilter'Meanwhile the Labour transport spokesperson David Parker says National's costings are way out of kilter.
I HAVE recently been interviewed on a US radio channel jointly with Billy Te Kahika Jnr and Vinny Eastwood. In their appeal, Mr Te Kahika and Mr Eastwood note that no one else has been jailed for offences of this type in New Zealand. From this point of view with the wisdom of hindsight, Mr Eastwood and Mr Te Kahika can be legitimately understood to be justly seeking to protect the integrity of our nation rather than undermining it. Contrast this with the sentences for Mr Eastwood and Mr Te Kahika for minor actions which did not involve any violence. I am asking for you to voice your support for Mr Eastwood and Mr Te Kahika.
