The majority of people in prison, are there for criminal activity . Go figure 😮

[@logicalanswer3529]

And they make up a 54% male and 64% female majority prison population.

[@reiolite2354]

But it's OK for our government to steal the oil gold from the middle east & the resources from many countries. Where's there prison time?

[@TerryPalmer-d2l]

Well said Mark

[@barrygeary9362]

Amassing if politicians not present in parliament they should not be payed attendance only

[@torqingheads]

17% of the population commits over half of all crime and 93% of violent crime. 53% of prison inmates, 67% of female inmates, the highest rates per capita of child murder and abuse related child head trauma in the world. 75% of children in state care. One in three working age part Maoris are state dependent and are per capita the highest unemployed group.

[@secondchance6603]

That 17% gets an automatic 10% off their prison sentence purely for, 'cultural' reasons.

At least he did mention The Victims. It's always about gangs, violence etc. Yet NOTHING helps the victims of crime. Gangs, criminals etc get better treatment than the victims.

[@Chronicz120]

Worse thing about the justice system is that criminals have rights and their own sick supportive fan clubs who comfort and defend them from other's justified opinions. Criminals thrive. Victims wither.

[@logicalanswer3529]

100% correct just look at what the last government did with the electoral (Registration of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Act that was passed in June 2020. The Act allows people in prison who are serving prison sentences of less than three years, to enroll to vote in the General Elections. That includes repeat violent offenders and child offenders.

How ignorant are people to try and claim racism. when by saying "it is racist towards Māori" they are literally admitting that gang members are mainly Māori. Maybe they should be putting more effort into reducing the 54% male and 64% female Māori prison population.

[@dadcooks1347]

If you think anti gang is anti Māori, you obviously think that all Māoris are criminals. So who is the real racist?

[@logicalanswer3529]

100% correct. No one ever accused them of thinking too much.

[@Sharon-yk7xm]

Its ONE LAW for all all all

[@dtm400]

The problem is also generational. Young children growing up with parents in gangs. They get indoctrinated at an early age. Its very differcult to break the cycle, especially in smaller towns where gangs have infiltrated and have a dominate presence and influence...but i wish the minister and the ACT party all the best in solving the gang problem in New Zealand.

[@Mark-g6l7i]

So it is a maori [problem ?

[@dtm400]

@Mark-g6l7i It most certainly is as a majority of the gangs that make their presence known in public are Maori and this affects all New Zealanders. I wonder why the Maori elders don't address the issue of the gangs as they are their people, than leaving it up to the politicians. They need to put their house in order to bring harmony and togetherous back into the community.

[@williamriri2224]

Well there was no gangs untill pakehas and their westminster system took over Aotearoa

[@dtm400]

@williamriri2224 well I guess your right. The British introduced the Maori to the Musket...and Ngapuhi chief Honga Hika used them for an intertribal warfare to obtain land and to enslave other Maori...and the rest you could say is history.

What a racist thing to say 'maori are gang members'. No, there are gang members and that's that. You don't get special privileges from the law because of your skin colour.

So if you disagree with his stats and what he is saying then prove him wrong. Is it now if we don’t use the perfect pronunciation of a name or what ever we are racist. That’s the pot calling the kettle black or to be non offensive and PC some other colour of your choice. Yes all the people in prison have made bad choices all of which are perfectly valid to them at the time. so when is someone going to take up their cause. That’s right they are not Māori and there are a lot of different ethnic backgrounds in prison. Because that’s what bulk of these uploads say it is due to their being one particular ethnic back ground. They deserve to be treated differently from any one else. No that is a cop out do the crime do the time.
