Unlike an earlier poll which showed high public hostility towards Jacinda & Co. (see earlier post) and was swiftly removed by the pro-Government Newshub, this one is still here

Not only the failure to detect and prevent the Christchurch mass shooter’s rampage, but its subsequent behaviour, and publicised cases of its losing guns and prisoners have made this a bad year for public perceptions of the Police.

The problem is, however, not with frontline policemen/women, but with the management and leadership of Commissioner Mike Bush and his immediate subordinates.  The unsuitability of Police Minister Stuart Nash for his job doesn’t help.
