We know, that's the problem

We know you don’t care, that’s the problem…

‘I do not care’: Christopher Luxon responds to concerns about prisoner voting ban

…he doesn’t care about poor people, beneficiaries getting sanctioned or prisoners, his version of Christianity is ‘Jesus only loves people with a net worth of $5million”.

I suspect there must be a poll out in the field and Luxon needs to butch up and look tough because voters believe he is bullied by David Seymour and Winston Peters all the time.

Luxon is so weak he had to sack Melissa Lee to look tough, this time around it’s prisoners who can’t fight back.

On the same day a terrible miscarriage of justice is exposed with NZ Police framing 4 people for 2 murders they didn’t commit, Paul Goldsmith decides to remove prisoners rights to vote.

Look.

When you lose your liberty as a prisoner, THAT is the punishment, you don’t lose intrinsic rights like the right to vote.

This Government intends to dramatically lift the prison population by 10 000 more inmates – taking away their right to vote in the over crowded and violent Prison system removes their voices as their rights get crushed.

What about Stephen Stone who as innocent all the time he was in prison?

What about the innocent prisoners who are wrongfully rotting away in jail, you take their right to vote away as well?

This is lynch mob politics,  you are citizens, you understand the importance of these rights even if they don’t impact you directly – don’t join the lynch mob, stand against the lynch mob, you are New Zealanders, and we are a fair and egalitarian people who will not be dictated to by the worst angels of our nature.

National want to distract you with Lynch mobs, demand justice instead.

Stephen Stone – 25 years in prison for murders he was framed for

    • An honest, deluded, anti-abortionist, god-bothering, religious zealot, out of his depth, dickhead, who claims he’s “great with numbers”, when clearly he’s not…..what’s not to like i wonder?

    • Ennius “ At least Luxon is honest.” Honest ? Really ? Consider whether he is just a big fat bully.

    • He was not honest when he talked about being inclusive, when he was in Europe at the Popes tangi.

  1. Don’t forget they have Stephen Rainbow on their side and not a peep from the human rights commissioner ,my god what an arsehole this government is

  2. I do believe people are unfair to Christopher Luxon and the National Party.
    Members of Parliament have a duty to represent the desires of the people who vote for them.
    Now let us be honest about this.
    We who vote for ACT or National actually believe that imprisoning people for minor crimes, while taking away programmes to cure drug and alcohol addiction, will reduce crime and make you safer.

    We are impervious to the argument that spending more on crime prevention will actually save money
    as an end result. We do not accept this because we want PUNISHMENT not correction.

    So taking away a human right from people in prison gives the same thrill as pulling the wings of butterflies and watching them die slowly. It is a petty act of cruelty that achieves nothing positive but satisfies our sadism.

    After all what is the point of imprisonment if prisoners do not suffer? It should be painful and demoralising and result in embittered people.

    Now at this stage some Liberal bastard can come along and say that Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Canada and all these useless foreign softies do not imprison people for minor crimes and rehabilitate prisoners and have lower rates of criminal offending and less violent crime and so forth. But that is NOT what we ACT and National voters want.

    WE WANT PEOPLE TO SUFFER! Preferably poor, brown people who do not vote for the proper political party.
    Prisons are there to control them, suppress them and make their lives miserable to keep us happy.

    Fuck rehabilitation! We need repeat offenders so we can say that imprisonment does not work and keep pressing for more cruelty (better than Viagra for many or us).

    It is really good to see government taking note of our concerns and we if we can elect the alliance again we can build on our malice to re-introduce flogging, the treadmill, chain gangs and the big one we all want – the death penalty. The ultimate goal all right wing voters look forward to achieving.

    Anyway there it is. I hope all who read this now appreciate the need to stop criminals from voting (working class criminals that is, white collar fraudsters are another matter).

    Cheerio, off to drown kittens

  3. It’s even worse than removing prisoners right to vote.
    The existing law allowed only prisoners with 3 year or less sentences to vote not other prisoners. So the prisoners who had done the worst crimes couldn’t vote anyway.
    And they’re repealing that rather milquetoast law. And even though in 2018 the supreme court ruled disallowing prisoners with sentences for 3 or less years to vote contravened the bill of rights since those prisoners were losing the right to vote on a government that they’d be free in.
    So the government is flagrantly going against the highest court’s ruling. It’s Trumpian imo.

  4. Luxon is running on empty for ideas for improving NZ ,so the usual, kick em while they are down,matra comes into play .
    Other than tour the world what has he achieved in the last 18 months ?.
    Now that Winston is being moved sideways and the Hyena is being unleashed ,Luxon will need to step up and do some real good possative stuff for NZ INC ,OR WATCH HIS BACK .The hyena will be happy to do a Shipley when Luxon is on one of his holiday jaunts .

  5. Luxon’s “ I don’t care,” is an arrogant echo of his “ I’m entitled,” proclamation. He should care, and he should be able to provide some sort of reasoning for his decision making, but he can’t, because he lacks the intellectual capacity to do so and is a dimwit.
