There seems to be a pattern
- Claimed that James Shaw asked her to run for Wellington Central (He didn’t)
- Claimed that she was paying over half her Councillor salary in rent for one out of five bedrooms in Aro Valley (She wasn’t)
- Claimed that the “vast majority” of people in prison are there for non-violent offences (They’re not)
- Claimed that Downtown Community Mission has complained to the Police about police officers throwing away possessions of homeless people (They hadn’t)
- Claimed that someone was in prison for shoplifting a $12 item (This is basically impossible as under $500 is maximum three months which would get home detention)
This is of course all the work of the Green Party Police and Corrections Spokesperson, Tamatha Paul. I think it is fair to conclude that there is a pattern.
