Kiri Allen’s parallel universe - me: “will Cantabrians have equal voting rights after the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngai Tahu Representation) Act takes effect? Allan: yes. How do Ministers getting away with talking nonsense?

Michael Wood has probably asked officials 12 times when the new Northland Motorway will open. No wonder he's not surprised when he never gets an answer.

Labour's inaction and hand-wringing has allowed criminal brazenness to take hold to the extent that a gang has now shut down a town. National will give Police the power to issue dispersal notices to stop gang members gathering in public where they intimidate, threaten & assault.

Kiri Allan seems confused as Chris Hipkins on new justice policy - said in House it was cabinet decision to create a new offence punishable for 10 years for those using young people to commit crime - except it didn’t. Made it an aggravating factor in Sentencing Act. Confusion!

After six years in power, Labour has finally accepted that its soft-on-crime approach has failed. The Prime Minister blamed society: it’s not society’s fault. We need to restore personal responsibility and end Labour’s culture of excuses.

I'm calling on the new Justice Minister to abandon Labour’s target to reduce the prison population by 30%. Their priority has to be reversing the 33 per cent increase in violent crime under Labour. That starts with removing the target of reducing the prison population.

#REVEALED The Ministry of Pacific Peoples spent almost $53,000 on four Budget 2023 breakfast events promoting labour MP’s at a cost of $76 per person who attended. More extravagant Govt spending by labour - with taxpayers money being used to promote Labour MP’s in election year.

This election, you have a clear choice between a tough on crime National-led Government that will take urgent action to ensure our communities are safer or three more years of a Labour-led Coalition of Chaos cosying up to the gangs.

Victims are our priority, not offenders. That's why we're removing government funding for Section 27 reports, and have scrapped Labour's prison reduction target.

We're changing the law to give greater weight to gang membership as an aggravating factor at sentencing. Enabling courts to impose more severe punishments.

Today we put an end to the cottage industry of Section 27 Reports costing the taxpayer millions with no benefits to the real victims of crime. An important step forward towards restoring law and order.

We have set 2 new Government Targets on law & order. 1. 20,000 fewer people who are victims of an assault, robbery, or sexual assault by 2030. 2. 15% reduction in the total number of children and young people with serious and persistent offending behaviour by 2030.
