It’s corrupt and horrendous. What other misogynies is this police force permitting? This won’t be an isolated area and it sends a message to other local police forces in NZ.
Meanwhile here in UK the metropolitan police in London are financially compensating some of women who were abused by their staff at a women’s rights process which is a teeny tiny step in the right direction. It was a protest sparked by the abduction and murder of a local woman, Sarah Everard, by a serving officer of the Met police.
So UK women are not commenting on this from a place of safety either, but this specific conflict of interest in NZ policing seems so obvious and Inevitable to be harming women. I can’t see how it’s allowed to continue and I hope NZ women take legal action against this corruption.
As here in the UK that is clearly the only way to get institutional corruption challenged since so many politicians are captured. Elected politicians don’t help us - even the Conservative government here for past 13 years which some women will be voting back in because they say they ‘know what a woman is’ 
haven’t helped women in this regard and they haven’t added any legal protections for women and children in the 13 years of being in power which is the time in which gender identity politics if we just take that one specific example of misogyny, has really taken hold.
