A stolen car crashed and rolled and the driver ran from the scene in Roslyn this morning. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called to the crash at 4.25am today after a stolen Mazda Familia crashed into a boulder in the median strip in Stuart St near the Tyne St intersection. The car, which was stolen yesterday evening, was travelling uphill, away from the city centre, at the time of the crash. After the car rolled a witness told police they saw the driver, and sole occupant, run from the scene. Inquiries were ongoing, Snr Sgt Bond said.

Don’t hang around, don’t look back, just put as much distance between yourself and whatever is failing as you possibly can. The problem with being the Prime Minister, however, is that there is nowhere to walk away to. Hipkins’ and Labour’s next step would be to address the Greens’ fiscal policies. On a roll, Robertson would then announce the re-instatement of the policy Labour took to the electorate in 2011: the removal of GST from basic food items.

This question again goes back to the whole issue of the housing market as a place to find a home versus as a place to find an investment. That's going to be crucial, because that would force recent buyers to potentially have to sell - and crystalise loses.

It comes on the 20th anniversary of the Prostitution Reform Act decriminalising sex work. I’m not sure allowing migrant workers to be legally sex trafficked is much of a win for you-go-girl feminism. NZ is already a despicable exploiter of migrant labour, that exploitation would be immediately transferred to sex work if migrant workers could move to NZ to work in the sex industry. I celebrate legal sex work as a triumph of good social policy, but there are not many parents who look at their children and hope they will have a great career as sex workers are there?
