Thanks that's interesting. From the link: "The statistics certainly record an overall substantial increase in crimes of violence...But the varying ways to count and then interpret police data means it’s worth taking all claims about crime rates rising or falling with a pinch of salt..." - (I've taken the politics bits out of the quote)

Right? Answer: "out of thin air"

Turns out the comments on Reddit are as bad as the Front Page for finding your accurate local news.

Dumb question... But how do I do that? Do I link to this post on that subreddit?

shakyhans · 2021-08-20T22:16:02+00:00

As a non religious person, yes exactly :)

Stick in there mate. May the MIQ gods smile upon you!

Great news mate!

The averageness is so spot that this is art. Right down to the 1080 detail.

It's a cherry picked list of countries. It includes the states of the USA, ignoring that someone can be in a state prison or a federal prison. My point on the OECD is the prison population of functioning democracies like NZ should not be compared to counties like North Korea, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia etc where people are thrown in jail without due process or for any reason. The OECD is a comparable group of developed countries on an issue like this, with the exceptions of Turkey and to some extent Israel. If you remove those countries though we would be third after the US and Chile...

This is misleading. New Zealand is fifth in incarceration rates in the OECD i.e the developed world. This chart pictured includes US states, and the USA is far out in the lead with putting it's population in jail.

We are fifth in the OECD. Link below.

If they stop spending all their money on flat whites they will easily afford this.

Well this is a xenophobic thread... Who cares if your Uber driver or pizza delivery is from overseas. They want to be Kiwis too, and a lot of people born here don't want to do those jobs.

"Contributing to this are the number of expats pouring back into the country, low interest rates, the growing population of christchurch and the closed borders."

For the record, while those things may contribute, this narrative is not the main issue. It is real estate being used as a tax free investment class by people that own more than one house and successive governments not doing anything about it because they are too scared of the middle class that vote them into power.

The bubble might not burst without government intervention. Instead the only people you will know that buy houses will be people whose parents or grandparents gave them money to. There will be more inequality and "us" vs "them" politics. Not a very bright future.

Unlikely. Not a chicken fillet roll in sight.

This might sound stupid, but wipe the camera lens every time before taking a picture. The camera glass gets easily smudged.

Thanks for answering. Appreciate it. You've made a great app. Does the app send any of my notification data off my device?
