Good afternoon. I'm railing Ramsay. This is your afternoon NEWSS
for Thursday, the twentieth of November. The government admits it
can't meet its police recruitment target's first deadline. It's further
pushed out the target of increasing frontline cops by five
hundred within two years to next September. The first deadline
was next week, but Police Minister Mark Mitchell is defending
(00:27):
the coalition approach, saying it's after the government increased standards
for new cops.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I think the public will also allow us to
take the time to deliver those five hundred as long
as we remain focused on those standards.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
David Seymour says it's worrying. Winston Peters aims to campaign
on repealing Acts Regulatory Standards Act. New Zealand first joined
its coalition partners to vote the bill through last week.
It was made law by the Governor General two days ago.
Peters now calls the legislation overreach and is promising the
party will repair heal it. Seymour says the Act is
(01:02):
a bottom line for him and is reflected on Peter's stance.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
He signed a contract in black and white saying that
he supported it, so that that's his word, not just
as word, but as signature.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
In Labour's pleased. It's been joined by New Zealand First
and pledging repeal but warns its bad optics. Deputy Leader
Carmel Seppeloni says kiwis expect more strength from politicians.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Stand by their convictions and have some courage. You can't
support on one hand and say when we get back
and we'll repel this.
Speaker 1 (01:29):

Health asking for a public inquiry on water fluoridation. The
city's supply has been fluoridated since October twenty twenty four,
complying with the twenty twenty two directive from the Director
General of Health. The council was denied and extension, but
more than one thousand people signed a petition asking for
(01:50):
the letter. Numbers on the council vote haven't been released,
but it wasn't unanimous, and one councilor claims many petitioners
weren't from Todonger a warning for politicians to maintain convention
and not mention families in debates after Labour's Helen White
referenced to a national MP's children. In Parliament, White was
(02:11):
speaking about motorway emissions in urban areas, giving hers and
Carlos Chung's electorates Mount Alberton, Mount Roskell as examples. His
political reporter, Troy Mattich.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
White spoke of the importance of cleaning up the air
for the sake of Chung's children and her future grandchildren.

the mention as frivolous. He later changed his approach, telling
MPs to be aware of the sensitivities of the house.

metal failed and Auckland's remuerra in twenty twenty four rolling
down hill and to Jonathan Walters. Justice Graham Lang says
