National Party Conference 2023: When will rich white guys get a break and brave courageously liberal change in parole rules
So the National Party Conference has closed and it’s all ended up being a giant whinge about a loss of privilege and why won’t Kiwis give rich white men a break level delusion.
There was the tough on crime stuff that won’t work.
No one seems to have explained to Luxon what the 30% prison population reduction policy actually is (it’s a National Party policy btw that allows for nonviolent prisoners to apply for home detention) and he has made an enormous policy change whereby Prisoners no longer have to accept their guilt to gain access to rehabilitation programs!
Thanks to the bail changes National made the last time they were in power, most prisoners are no longer eligible for early parole and National forced prisoners to have to admit their guilt before they can take up rehabilitation, but Luxon bravely and courageously decided to dump all that bullshit and has offered prisoners free access to rehabilitation without forcing them to admit their guilt, and surprisingly extended that to Remand where prisoners haven’t even been sentenced yet – so why the fuck they would take these rehabilitation programs up when they get released for time served anyway seems to suggest Luxon has no idea what he is talking about.
I say courageous and brave changes to rehabilitation facetiously because I know hand on heart Luxon has no idea how the policy gets worked and probably wasn’t even aware Prisoners have to admit guilty before they can get on a rehab programme and that’s why so few in remand can access them.
Watch this muppet walk all this back by the end of the week once journalists start asking actual details of the rehab programme in remand and if that means they don’t have to admit guilt and watch how many times Chris comes up against National’s own self imposed bullshit on these rules.
Judges have discretion to make these decisions with mercy, National want ti strip Judges of their independence and enforce state sanctioned minimums which will explode the prison population.
Luxon says National’s aim is 45% this election. With David Seymour head and shoulders above Chris, National will be lucky to get 34% on Election night.
Oh and,””We will stop the despair and start the great repair.”???
What a clanger!

Kiri to PA…What’s a victim of crime? Are they some white right wing bullshit?
Kelvin to secretary…Prison reform? I thought that meant emptying prisons?
Kelvin was outraged at the fight clubs in prison when he was in opposition. Doesn’t seem so outraged in the level of violence he has let out into the streets.
S crumb did Kelvin let out the violence on our streets from his jennie bottle, sounds like you have been watching too much netflixs
I believe someone said “it can’t be any worse” than what we have had. It won’t be for lack of trying. Pointing out what a bunch of muppets National has become is not a defence of Labour it’s just pointing out the obvious
Wheel, there is no defence for Labour. They have all but ruined the country
There you are so fucking hysterical.
YOUR NEW MATES NATIONAL AND ACT HAVE RUINED THIS COUNTRY.
They hate people getting high wages
THey hate public services
They hate clean air
They hate clean water
They hate railways
They hate cheap power prices
They hate state housing with low rents and long tenure
They hate public ownership
They hate due process
They hate Palestinians
They hate LGBT’s
They hate the poor
Fuck you Anker, fucking jumped up priviliged Karen. I bet you get workers fired because they look at you the wrong way when they make your latte
lol

Ginny to some lacky…How many is 1800? Its whatever you want Minister. Ginny…800+200=1800? Yes Minister!
Well Xray, none of that changes the fact that National don’t have a f’ing clue.
Luxon to voters ” um, ah, but er, I’ll refer your question to one of my lackies because I am clueless um ah dah”
Luxon ” oh what they put that policy into practise last week in parliament? I must have been away, wait, what er up, I wasn’t?”
That conference looks a bit… low budget? The slogan is rubbish as well. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence!
Three strikes did not work in America and neither has the death penalty better for our judges to give Crims longer sentences if their crime justifies it. Most of what National want to implement around crime etc we as a country have been there and done that.
Just out of interest they didn’t prosecute much under the previous three strikes rules. Can I ask as I can’t find out anywhere – is this because it worked?
National want US style policing and prisons.
Maori gunned down or beaten sensless in the back of a police car
Gang run prisons where gaurds turn a blind eye while weak inmates get raped and shanked by cellmates.
Violent crime has gone up % under Labour. Almost everything Labour has done has failed. NZ is in a perilous state.
If Labour et al are re elected we will see an even bigger crack down on free speech. Without free speech we have nothing
Ramraids in particular were higher under National in 2016. Crime stats prove you ar wrong.
Anker is just a priviliged white women who doesnt want her personal space befouled by smelly brown people.
More hysteria from a fucking Karen who wants to use fear about rising crime to impose a police state. Just wait till your beloved cops start gunning down Maori in cold blood, or stopping random people in the street to search them, perhaps even bash them with nighsticks?
I would rather have free health care than free speech. Free speech just gives a platform to racisets, homphobes and hate mongers. You must be a really sad person to give up publicly funded health and education and workers protection so you can call someone a sodomite or a the N-word online.
LABOUR SUPPORT PUBLIC PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE, AND THE ELIMINATION OF USER PAYS.
Here’s Bill English in 2011, then National finance minister, quizzed on calling prisons a ‘moral and fiscal failure’:
https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1105/S00360/qa-interview-with-finance-minister-bill-english.htm
English summed up National governments with that one statement… ‘moral and fiscal failure’:
On sentencing, “Judges have discretion to make these decisions with mercy,”…Yeah, very unfortunately last weeks 85% discount on a rapist really sunk Judges discretion for good. They have proven they cannot be trusted and will default to the easy to live with answer. And by doing so these same Judges are trying very hard to put the courts out of business!
Of course, people like you want summary executions. The right of cops to just kill people in cold blood, like George Floyd.
C’mon, c’mon usual suspects–defend the crazy Bal’head!
National Party Conference
In Chris Luxon’s earpiece..
JK to Chris, JK to Chris can you hear me Chris?
Ah yes John..
Good, now Chris just repeat everything I say.
Ok John..
In JK’s earpiece..
Bankers Association to JK, Bankers Association to JK..
$200.000, the slot, we live in, your jail time farmer brown, eh slow not stop, bring back the birch for our youth punishment.
Eh!
Seems like Nick Mowbray’s 3 billion empire isn’t enough to get National over the line. When will the right concede that money doesn’t win an election, policy does?
As we have seen consistently with National governments policies , they are corrupt, self serving, donor rewarding and punitive, resulting in hardship for most and the demise of N.Z’s infrastructure. They focus on rewarding millionaires and billionaires, clearly showing they want the worst for 99% of New Zealanders.
