I’m guessing the decision to build the new mega-prison must be already made.

I’m guessing the previous government would have signed any future government up to a contract that would cost you an arm and a leg to pull out of.

On top of this cost reality, you have run out of prison beds which means changes to legislation to stop throwing NZers into prison will help things in the future, they won’t help now.

So what are you to do?

Have the people of Christchurch suffered longer than they needed and have the farming community been betrayed by their own Party?

One thing is for certain, Lorde made the right call.

Very sad news for Auckland activist Penny Bright…

The Greens are sick of being seen as a puppet for Labour and are desperate to show some independence, but was this by-election the best way to do that?
