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

New figures out show there are 1700 more gang members under Labour - a 31% increase. Kiwis deserve safety and security. They're not getting that under this Government.
@NewstalkZB It took 2.5 years to come up with a new name?? Just deliver what you promised!! But instead, more on welfare, more poverty, more homelessness. That what sitting back and doing nothing does.
While heartened by the TVNZ Colmar Brunton poll that has us +Act on 61 seats & in government. It proves that every vote will count & only a vote for National will mean that NZers can get ahead.
A couple of years ago, the Prime Minister was talking up her 'stardust.' But now...

Here we go again. More ridiculous filibustering in Parliament tonight with Labour ministers asking themselves pointless questions and citing Wikipedia because they haven’t got any significant legislation for MPs to consider. And this is their “year of delivery”! Yeah, right.
Small business owners know how hard it is to get paid on time. National will require all government departments to pay their contractors on time and within 30 days. National will restore business confidence and revive our economy. national.org.nz/small_business…
I've just launched our Economic Discussion Document. We’re doing the work now in Opposition so we’re ready to hit the ground running in 2020. national.org.nz/economy
.@jacindaardern now says she and her Ministers had "absolutely no idea what happened". Isn't that even worse given that Treasury and @grantrobertson1 publicly alleged "deliberate and systematic hacking" and called in Police on the Opposition.
The Govt’s agenda of slowing down drivers on New Zealand’s roads is plain wrong. National had a strong programme to build better, safer highways all over our country. We will make sure we’re back building quality roading infrastructure in 2020.
We are doing the work in Opposition to ensure we have the plan & policies to help NZers get ahead. Unlike this Labour-led Govt which is asleep at the wheel as the economy weakens, job growth takes a dive & it continues to outsource everything to working groups & reviews #nzpol
We want every NZer to get ahead but the best way out of poverty is to get a job. #Budget2019 #nzpol
Our economy is sharply declining and this Govt is asleep at the wheel. #Budget2019 has no plan to grow the economy. Only a strong and growing economy delivers the funding for the services NZers rely on like health and education.
The economic management of this Govt means there are fewer jobs, more people on a benefit & needing hardship assistance, huge increases in the numbers of people without housing and more people are missing out on elective surgeries. This budget is style over substance.
