labour's problem with crime

I'm really enjoying this series, thanks JB

I think I've worked out why NZ has a crime problem all of a sudden. Kelvin Davis, Minister of Corrections, posted this to FB 6 days ago...
He is very proud of letting everyone go.

When I became Minister of Corrections, prisons were overflowing. It was so bad that there were immediate decisions I faced about planning for prisoners to be housed in halls and even vacant boarding schools.
If we had of continued on that path today, we would be facing triple or even quadruple bunking for prisoners and the need to build billion dollar mega prisons on the regular.
Instead, the prison population has been safely reduced by almost 25%. People who commit serious crimes are still doing the time, but we have been able to make real progress in rehabilitation and other areas thanks in large part to Hōkai Rangi – Corrections’ Māori strategy.
So it was good to sit down with Stuff for a longer chat about where things are at in this space. Yes, there have been challenges. Covid has definitely not helped and has slowed down progress in some areas where I would have liked to be further ahead.
But you can’t argue with what has been achieved:
🔴 There are 1200 fewer Māori in prison than when we formed the Government
🔴 The Māori imprisonment rate has dropped from 657 per 100,000 to 457 per 100,000
🔴 We have halved the women’s prison population
🔴 The use of double bunking has dropped by 53%
🔴 Reconviction and reimprisonment rates are also heading in the right direction
We still have a long way to go, there are still many challenges ahead. But I am proud of all that is achieved and my thanks goes out to all the hardworking Corrections staff who have helped achieve that.

someone tried to hot-wire my bike out the back of our place the other night

recently some dodgy hnz neighbors have moved into the street...

the bike has an immobilizer built in from the factory so wasn't ever going to run without the chipped key 'talking' to the computer, but i guess most car thieves aren't known for intelligence 

even the wires they chose to twist together didn't lead to the ignition

and i have no idea how they planned to defeat the big U-bolt through the wheel

but they do seem to have blown some circuitry in bike and it now won't start

it's an old high mileage bike so would likely be an insurance write-off, if it had been insured

hopefully i can buy some affordable 2nd hand electronics and get it running again

thanks for nothing; kelvin, labour and the be-kind-to-criminals gang

she was in auckland discussing north korea

why isn't she showing kindness to all the victims of crime in auckland

she could whip round the shops who have been ram-raided multiple times

she could visit the families of children beaten by school gangs

she could visit the police for a moral boost

but no, she's talking tough on international crimianls and bullies she can do nothing about

while ignoring the ones she could do something about

the ones she was elected to deal with

Ardern never front a bad news story... Unless it has international connotations...
.she is deserting kiwis that are suffering at the hands if her governance!

She is shallow, MIA, and soon to be history
