Helping to fix the racial divide in NZ the Green party are proposing a parallel justice system - just for Maori - aimed at (get this) reducing the unjust imprisonment of many Maori.

http://www.greens.org.nz/node/20880

"A parallel Maori justice system will be proposed by Green Party Law and Order/Maori Affairs Spokesperson Metiria Turei at tomorrow’s Crime Summit.

“Because Maori are more likely to be stopped and searched, arrested rather than cautioned, and receive higher sentences than Pakeha offenders, Maori crime and imprisonment rates are elevated,” Mrs Turei said today.

“The establishment of a Maori justice system that runs alongside the existing legal system – using the education system as a model – will help to eliminate the impact of this systemic racial profiling, reduce the unjust imprisonment of many Maori and stem Maori reoffending.”


What a brilliant idea. I also suggesting a While, Male, High income earner, married with kids parallel justice system.

Ill be the judge and Finn can be the guy who hands out the punishments.

[Headbanger]

Sounds like an excellent way to spend untold billions,futher divide the country, and stop the inhuman practise of punishing the bastards.

Woohoo for apartheid.

Next they will be getting their own footpaths.

[Mully]

Isn't the justice system already predominantly Maori?
What? Oh, never mind.

And who cares what the Greens think anymore?? Can anyone say "third wheel"?

[BOGAR]

At a huge risk of being flamed or worse but.....
If we are dividing things, are we having separate busses and if not who gets to sit at the back. I think there was a great idea like this years ago but I forget now how well that went. P/T

Sounds like another pass the blame game to me. But oh wait somehow this is all my fault. FFS
Go the Greens



Not!


Sorry but having a bad day today and I normally would keep these things to myself.

[Dooly]

The Greens truly are numpty heads.

Not that I necessarily think it's a good idea, but to be fair, it will not be only for Maori. At least that's what the sound bite I heard on the radio today said.

Let's face it though - the current system isn't working (70% re-offending level), so we DO need to try something different.

Suggestions, anyone?

[P38]

I think it's a bloody great idea.

We can apply "User Pays Principals" to this parallel justice system and thereby reduce taxes for the Majority of NZers

Go the Greenies

I'm looking forward to the Motorcyclists only parallel justice sysytem too.

“Because Maori are more likely to be stopped and searched, arrested rather than cautioned, and receive higher sentences than Pakeha offenders, Maori crime and imprisonment rates are elevated,” Mrs Turei said today.

I wonder if that is because more of them indulge in nefarious and violent activities...

- the current system isn't working (70% re-offending level) -

A rope would help with lots of that

Reusable too

Hang your heads in shame, anyone who voted for these green fuckwits.

I would like to suggest an "Open Season" on green party members. No bag limit would apply... apart from sue badford, whom we already know is a horrible old bag.

Um, that would be me, and I'm quite happy about the choice (better than the other options, certainly). I am at a bit of a loss to understand this policy though - wondered if it was April 1st, but apparently not.

Fortunately us Greenies voters can vote Green without supporting every molecule of the party line.

Sorry to burst your bubble (animal product free soap bubble?) but a vote for any party is tacit approval of all their policies. Even the ones they didn't mention before they got your vote.

Fuck this! I'm moving to South Africa!

Let's face it though - the current system isn't working (70% re-offending level), so we DO need to try something different.

Suggestions, anyone?

• Capital punishment
• Corporal punishment
• Smaller cells
• Disallowing posessions in cells beyond basic necessities (No TV's, playstations, stereos, etc)
• Ensuring that prison is about punishment, not "reducation". Make prison a hell on earth.
• Import Joe Arpaio and make him corrections minister.
• Remove police batons, tasers, mace etc. Arm them all with powerful handguns, give them orders to kill anyone who resists arrest. Would drastically lower the number of people in our prisons.

[Skyryder]

Just another reason why I'm not a Greenie. Mind you I can not for the love of me see any political advantage for the Green's to have this policy. They are not going to attract Maori votes and the policy is likely to alenaiate 'middle' New Zealand.
