Shane Jones does touch on the crucial issues which honestly need to be resolved. This debate is obviously going nowhere.

Corrections does not put people in prison ... the judiciary order them there at sentencing. The judiciary do not produce criminal charges ... the police charge as they accumulate evidence of a criminal act. The police do not create criminal acts ... criminals do this when they commit crimes. This latter group are the only people that can stop criminal activity ... everyone else is simply doing their job. I would have thought at Green MP on $180k per year would understand this.

Excellent Shane. If they didn't do the crime then they would not be in jail that applies to anyone locked up male or female

[@Arms26]

I've never been in jail, I've never done time, because I follow the law. That doesn't change the fact that many of the laws we live by today are inherently racist. Maori people have had of 3 million acres of land STOLEN. Land they were cultivating, land that was fertile and prosperous, land that was feeding their families and gaining wealth, STOLEN FROM THEM. Not only STOLEN, but that THEFT was then legislated and that THEFT made LEGAL. Imagine that, if the crown came into your house, kicked you and your family out, told you not to come back or you will be killed and then legislated what they'd just done to make it legal! Thats what happened to Maori! We were robbed of our land, we were robbed of our wealth, robbed of our self determination, robbed of our rights under the law, robbed of our identity - a whole generation who were put through an education system that punished them for speaking their native tongue, forced to change their names to more understandable English names because the immigrants couldn't understand them. We ARE, HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE VICTIMS. Shane Jones believed that before he got his cushy 6 figure salary. He advocated fro Maori rights, he advocated for Maori to resist the Crown, now he's changed his tune. He'll change it back once his contract with the crown is ended. He is a mercenary, just like Winston.

The only people who benefitted from Hokai Rangi were the management - money for sitting in meetings quoting their whakapapa..... the staff got more cultural supervision than the inmates!

[@sclark9011]

All this woke emphasis on maori whakapapa but ready to schidt on their very own earopean whakapapa when it suits them and there's a freeride on the gravy train. not they don't reject the coloniser's money and technology and Harleys, kfc, hoodies and free government housing and dole free money....did i mention colonisers money???

[@LawdyMay]

Why does "colonisation" only affect some Maori and not all? Could that be because it's the latest excuse to justify those behaving badly?

[@rahowherox1177]

in the same way childhood abuse only effects (in terms of future imprisonment or cyclical abuse) some of the victims and some do good... ie, it effects all, but some can overcome it to the point where you wouldnt know.

[@allisterbolstad6417]

Thanks Shane for saying what we all know

[@daisyandcoffee1]

What you know 😂

[@berdugosocials9854]

Amen!

[@robeastham5357]

Well said! and we have the exact same issue in Australia. What's terrifying is law enforcement are too scared to enforce the law in places like Alice Springs as it will inflate the numbers further, which means its perfectly fine for young Aboriginal kids to smash up the CBD every night and intimidate non-aboriginal people. .

[@fionaforward3358]

Exactly!

[@junehearne1302]

Gotta love Shane Jones for getting straight to the point.

[@alanduff6]

Perfectly put, matua Jones.

[@bobbyperu4683]

Can you send this guy over to Australia please? God, we need somebody like him.

[@stephenscales4799]

Great points Mr Jones, and yet they do not hear.

[@lanalouise]

Thank you Mr Jones for speaking up, unfortunately too many others will find that he said offensive but it's the truth. What happened to you as a child is not your fault but as an adult your growth is your responsibility and there is plenty of support out there, opportunity and privilege.

[@evelyn2178]

They have a victim mentality and blame it on everyone but themselves, don't want to go to jail, DON'T commit crimes. Why haven't the parents raised their children correctly, money will not make them commit less crimes. They need to take responsibility for their own selves, but NO, they blame everyone for their issues. How many of them re-offend, many do, it becomes a life style. Stop making excuses for them, they get so many opportunities in life but piss it up the wall.

[@blancarosabeltranvelazquez4176]

Thanks for sharing!.

[@daddybob6096]

Not only Maori victims, but also Maori offenders on white victims??? Very Common.

[@olliemoose2020]

Yes and a lot of attacks are rascally driven by Māori offender’s.

[@logicalanswer3529]

That is why the criminal sympathizing Labour, made "culturally sensitive" name suppression laws and gave voting rights back to prisoners.

[@FlavorTownCityCouncil]

She is a great example of why women cannot be given authority. Numbers? Logic? Reason? Nope. Pure emotion.

[@GrantCampbell-er3vk]

The victim and racist cards are always the cheapest to play. Most of us have the intelligence to think otherwise.

[@kelbatt7729]

then why do studies show you are 6 times more likely to go to jail for the EXACT same crime - if you are Māori?

[@jsurinderveygal561]

cheers Mr Jones

[@barryhedley9995]

Take away colonisation.. Then blame what??? If no treaty then what, blame game will continue.. Humans huh.😢

[@richardhenry5015]

I wish that probing precise questions and directly answered questions like this would apply to the South African parliament. Instead we often have questions i dont understand and babling on by government, but never answering the question. Well done NZ

[@joebloggs2862]

Exactly right.

[@laneayr6894]

Again and again this man speaks the truth with common sense at the fore

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

You just got yourself a new subscriber on the strength of that one video, New Zealand First ! Looking forward to bingewatching soon

[@MrUser1million]

Well said Shane

[@geoffellis1093]

RCA...........Bad parenting. Well said Shane.

[@clintvanzyl8497]

Time for the treaty to be used as the toilet paper it’s worth. Time for Māori to stop blaming everyone else for their problems and accept responsibility.

[@Neo_Red_Pill]

Thank you 🙏

[@MacOne53]

They can't justify their behaviour by blaming someone else. If you don't commit a crime no time.

[@kiwitransgirl]

Well said mr jones

[@chrisballingall5972]

Absolutely brilliant points Shane. Well said !

[@REwing]

Oh dear!! Only Shane can point the finger where it hurts!! Maori must educate their families in the home of the does and don’ts to make an honest society!!

[@kelbatt7729]

Like the all the honesty displayed by the colonizers when they killed us and stole our land under the belief that they had a more honest society. Rubbish

[@namaspetelo2144]

The Maoris failed themselves.

[@keithlowe9037]

Perfect!

[@robwakefield4699]

You don’t ‘plan’ a prison population, it’s not meant to be a mirror of society. You don’t go to prison for being a law abiding citizen.

[@ashdoginc]

My ancestors immigrated to New Zealand with hardly anything, they could barely speak english, their culture was not british, but adapted themselves to make the most of the opportunities this country provides to become fully independent and give themselves a comfortable lifestyle. Many Maori need to stop the argument of colonisation and the crys of victimisation because it just fuels racism.

[@cheeks7050]

Maybe it's the Māori's job to reduce their over representation in prison, rather than the state's.

[@BobTurner68]

Mr Jones your a legend
