The treatment of this whanau is simply not good enough
I firmly believe the race of the protagonists is a factor
And
I believe the local police were too close to the community & outside tracking experts should have been brought in

Louise Upston... showing her caring side to the thousands of homeless people across the motu. But hey, they've reduced the stats and that's what really matters. Doesn't it...

Cartoon. Title: Homelessness concerns rising The title is sat within the safety net. And Louise Upston is yanking the safety net knocking out a whole load of people. They are falling from the sky. She says, "On the plus side, we've reduced emergency housing by 84%!"

Additional sanctions for beneficiaries. Ooh great idea there minister Upston. Let's demoralise and pummel them... that'll get them eager for work. Won't it?

Cartoon. Title: Beneficiaries Squid Games On a balcony overlooking the killing field MP Louise Upston and her helpful assistant stand overlooking the panicked bodies of beneficiaries. The red light green light game from the hit TV show Squid Games is being played out in real time. The giant girl stands with her head turned 180 degrees shooting lasers out her eyes striking a woman as she tries to flee. A man lays dead on the floor with a bullet wound oozing. Another person kneels hoping not to move and be caught. And the last person stands with their arms in the air. The assistant says to Louise, "These new sanctions are a bit...well, erm... "Robust"!" And she responds with, "It's the only way they will learn!"
