Children’s Minister unveils pilot boot camp in Palmerston North
The Children’s Minister has unveiled the facility where the government’s military style academy or boot camp pilot for youth offenders will start later this month.
Acting Prime Minister David Seymour joined Karen Chhour and Oranga Tamariki chief executive Chappie Te Kani to show journalists at the Palmerston North youth justice facility where the pilot will run from.
The acting PM AND the Minister turn up to show journalists this Government’s $5million dollar virtue signal for reactionary angry voters and we all have to pretend this is normal?
The Boot Camps don’t work, it’s raw meat pandering to reactionary right wing voters who are whipped up by the ‘If-it-bleeds-it-leads’ News Media.
10 kids, $500 000 a piece, 9 of them are Māori (surprise, surprise).
We have a racist Government ensuing the next generation of kids are abused in state care.
This is policy based on feelings, not data.
