We don't have a PM only a bucket list wannabe. Luxon has no Mana and no stomach for confrontation. He is a blow hard absent at the wheel. Soper's alleged comment is entirely in line with the stooge apologist he remains. Bayley, if he were a brown skinned woman, would be burnt toast by now. The double standards of this appalling government knows no boundaries.
🤔🤷So.... Applying a revised law (3-strikes) retrospectively is allowed? And announcing the result BEFORE the Select Committee has finished? The same Minister & the same hubris as on other occasions. Yes, Bayley is a disgrace & Luxon is inept as a so-called "leader" when it comes to... well everything really (honesty, transparency, discipline of Ministers, oversight of adherence to ministerial rules etc.) BUT things like the 3-strikes retrograde changes are far more serious when it comes to effects on people & whanau. The Minister is gaslighting as usual with bringing up sexual assault - absent 3-strikes, sentencing for offenders who have committed serious offences previously are ALWAYS part of the decision as to how long & what conditions are imposed. It is just the usual thinly disguised drive to effect reversal of previous govt policies & dumping on the disadvantaged by spending $$$ to lock them up instead of $$$ in prevention & rehabilitation.

If those are the kinds of dad jokes that Barry Soper makes to his kids, I think someone needs to call the authorities.
