The Government's again singing the praises of Police

Lobby group the Sensible Sentencing Trust's put up satirical billboards depicting Green MPs, with the line - "Defund Da Police, vote Green".

Wellington MP Tamatha Paul's criticised beat policing - and played Sound of Da Police during a deejay set.

Although the Greens never called for it, the Government's now promising to NOT de-fund Police.

Greens co-leader Chloe Swarbrick says she wants genuine discussion on community safety, but it's clear some people aren't keen on that.
